In the twinkling of an eye

--

Dear Beautiful,

I don't think I'll forget this night

Working outside as the sun finished its race across the sky to give way to the soft glow of the moon allowed me a chance to experience a bit of the work of our beautiful Creator's hand.

The silence of this starless night was suddenly interrupted by a soft pitter-patter of thousands upon thousands of twinkling frozen raindrops

I looked around me to suddenly realize that my dim, dark world I had previously taken notice of was illuminated

Every bit of my vision was covered in sparkling beauty

The cars parked in the driveway suddenly changed from looking like dulled metal to the loveliest most shimmering automobiles one could ever create

The house changed from a fading white that had lost all of its original flair, to a blinding white, cloaked with a dazzling radiance -- no matter where you looked

The ground looked like its maker had decided to spend all he had to lovingly place small diamonds in every direction -- as far as the eye could see

I lifted my eyes to the sky to notice that millions of these small pieces of heaven were falling all around me -- feeling as gentle as a soft touch as they fell across my cheek

To think this all happened in the matter of a minute

To think that my entire world was changed from top to bottom – gone from just a simple existence, to something completely incredible, and that quickly – completely amazed me

My darling, like that beautiful twinkling rain that I saw tonight -- you have completely changed my life into something so beautiful

I wish you could have been there with me

I wish I could have pulled my hand out of my pockets, one to point at every little thing – oh how I wanted to tell you how much you were like that, changing my lackluster days into something so exciting and joyful, simply because you were a part of them -- and also to tell you how amazed I feel at being so blessed to see such beauty like that in you

My other hand -- Well, I would have certainly tucked close into yours, knowing that you were right there with me

I wish it could have happened

But at least for now -- know I’m thinking of you continually my darling, and I can’t wait until we can make moments like these ever more real

Forever Yours
