to be seen

a poem about how being seen is a gift to others

to be seen
does not always mean
to be measured,
sometimes it means
to be mirrored

an ordinary gesture,
a bold step,
a joyful squeal,
even a moment of hesitation
can remind another
of their own humanity

to be seen,
even if only
for a breath of time,
can guide another
home to themselves.
