stripped of the world - v2

peeling off the masks
the outer garments
the shroud, the chaos
to see with new eyes
to see them clearly

seeing them clearly
stripped of the world
bare, true, naked,
each person, each neighbor
seeing as God sees

seeing the other, the stranger
with the eyes of God
not judging, no prejudice
beautiful, imperfect, perfect
accepting them just as they are
