Poetry – The Ordinary is Extraordinary

The Ordinary is Extraordinary

The ordinary

                Is extraordinary

                                When new;

Before the wonder

                Has been stolen

                                By familiarity.

Opher – 2.2.2020

The familiar is never even noticed, no matter how wonderful it is. It is the rare that garners our attention.

Yet all around us are ridiculously beautiful things.

Everything has its poetry and art.

We are often too preoccupied to notice.

The mundane is as much a miracle as the exotic.
