Open Our Eyes – A poem

Open Our Eyes

We open our eyes and it is there –

At first with wonder

Soon masquerading as mundane.

Every first an excitement

That rapidly fades,

Then runs as routine

Until our eyes finally close.

Opher – 30.7.2018

We live in a world of miracles and wonder. We peer out from a body of miracles and wonder. We are surrounded with miracles and wonder. We process the universe with a mind that is miracles and wonder. Our very dreams are miracles and wonder.

Yet we see it all as mundane. We take it for granted. We rarely even wonder at the miracles.
