Wonder, Beauty, Awe and Love

Wonder, Beauty, Awe and Love

I saw wonder

                                                                In a spiral arm

Wonder                                               In a cell

Wonder                                               In a leaf

The gentle ocean’s swell.

I saw beauty

                                                                In a blossom

Beauty                                                  In a snake

Beauty                                                  In a spider’s web

The crystals of a flake.

I found awe

                                                                In infinity

Awe                                                       In nature’s scope

Awe                                                       In an atom’s spin

In the eternal ring of hope.

I found love

                                                                In my pet’s eyes

Love                                                      In my children’s smiles

Love                                                      In my sweetheart’s touch

Love’s never out of style.

Wonder, beauty, awe and love

Provide purpose – just enough!

Opher – 27.12.2024

I felt I needed a positive note. While a lo of my writing is dark my life is not. It is full of beauty, awe, love and wonder. I felt I needed to express that in order to provide some balance.

If I rail against the system I find myself stranded in it’s because I want it to change; I want to make it better.

Yes, I know, that is futile – but I believe in gestures. I believe in cycles. We are currently in a cycle of fear, hate and division. I hope that love, awe, hope, beauty and wonder will reassert itself.

We really don’t need greed.

Love always wins! Beauty is all around us! Wonder is what the universe runs on! Awe is how we should always feel!
