I am plain,

a commonplace and crude step-sister

ever watching  Cinderellas

snag a Prince’s gaze;

nothing within or without

to draw eyes or sighs.

But You are on life’s horizon –

Your Light is breathtaking,

and You in me,

I in You,

flips  heart’s switch,

ignites filament.

When Your sun rises

where soul’s search settles,

dawn breaks through open pores,

and I am –

stunning…
