A Sense of Wonder
23 January 2015
Stars above burned bright
Exhaling scent of jasmine
The night sighed softly
Night’s cool stilled my wilderness
As I breathed in what she breathed
The nightingale sang
To a tune etched between times
The morrow embraced today
As dawn crept into my mind
That ceased its wandering quest
Pale shadows would stretch
Spirits dancing in the wind
To flames unbeknownst
The mind flickering responds
As it twists and turns in tides
A crow grazed like cows
Its beak a semblance of thorn
Lost are now its roots
Black in my mind left ajar
Left coal’s streaks among roses
Birds awoke to light
That stirred in their nest aflame
From sun’s beckoning
A lone memory called not
A heart that set its course right
The cock crowed no more
Its voice now silent on land
That stretched in stillness
A lake within flowed silent
Its surface clear of intent
Petunia now bloomed
Reaching out to sun’s kisses
As sunflower leapt
A leap of faith overcame
The longest bridges of mind
A tear fell silent
For the beauty of all
That unravelled grace
Softly spoken promises
That behold my eye in awe
