Poem #29 of 30

That’s Ever Been

When he says
My God, you’re beautiful
Believe it
Believe it
Believe it
Like a radio wave
Continuing out into the universe forever-
So are the moments when
You come to know yourself
Through someone else’s eyes

Believe it
Even when you cannot reconcile
That love flushed observation
With your image in a mirror
Remember that it happened

There is no never in the universe-
Only everything that’s ever been
