Dazzled<\/strong><\/p>\n

Standing in line
\nat the pharmacy,
\nmy jaw slack,
\npoised to drop
\nany moment<\/p>\n

at the beauty of
\nthe moving gallery of
\nfaces drifting by<\/p>\n

in auras of
\nThe Maker\u2019s Art,
\nwith beautiful brows and
\ncurious eyes and a
\nphoto gallery of
\nthe angled variety of
\nnoses and
\nan exhibition of
\nmouths and chins
\nthat would grace
\nthe ceiling of
\na chapel.<\/p>\n

And the gorgeous
\nwrinkles!<\/p>\n

Sculpted by
\nan artist with
\na commission from
\nThe Divine.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sorry if
\nYou caught Me
\nstaring at You,<\/p>\n

but I shouldn\u2019t be
\napologizing
\nfor being
\ndazzled by
\nYour Light.<\/p>\n
