Parts

If I added up all the parts of you

The individual items like a check off list

Your eyes, your shape, your voice

Your smile, your inches in height and breath and

Circumference

Of parts protruding

Or sculpted

There would not be a total of

Complete

That would measure up

They would all fall short

And yet

It's the complete of you

Spirited by the warm of your

Heart and soulful

Tender gaze and

Empathy

Rising from a well of depth

That rates the 10 I see

Not that I'm keeping score

Just that it is the you'ness that

Rates complete on every level

Not the parts that show

But your blinding self that truly IS
