the awful glory within

to see, and know, the other

I see people:

I then know them well enough

to glimpse the awful glory

of who lives within them,

for a moment I see the power of who they are,

a power that needs to be known,

for then we are not alone,

and we are greater for now we know

that we can connect and become large.
