Those Lines

I love those lines... 

The lines that wake you up when you didn't even know you were sleeping.

The ones that you instantly re-read; 

giving them a mental double-take, as if they were a mirage too good to be true. 

Those lines that stand out, like a single sun beam on a grey day.

They suddenly become illuminated right there on the page.

The ones that just don't feel right for the whole world to not know.

The ones that leave a circle on your mind like that of a tree line.

Here was one of mine:

"The eye with which I see God

Is the very same eye with which God sees me."

-Meister Eckhart

I remember how impactful that line once was.

Even if the feeling is only a memory.

I love those lines.

Lines worthy of lives, of life, of eyes, wonder, and inhalation.

Lines that cause you to reflect as you lye.

Lines sweeter than a lullaby.

I love those lines.

The ones that have changed time,

altered minds,

and the ones we have yet to find.
