UNWRAPPING THE WONDER
LXXVII.
"Today is a gift.
That is why they call it the present."
-Eleanor Roosevelt
Susan Enan - Bring On The Wonder
Can charms
Disarm
The scenic gaze,
To let the day's
Delight
Ignite the rays
Of hope and wonder
Once again, ~
Begin to breathe
Those breaths which peel
The film from off
The wonderment once known,
But torn asunder
In long past storms -
Too long, too past, too gone?
Of course!
It's NOW we're making!
And here is wonderment
Unpeeled,
Revealed
For just the taking.

Isn’t that the wonderment of it?

The circle
Comes full circle
Upon its other face.
Its race
Is infinite
But never quite
The same each time
It seems to move around
And settles on the commonplace.
Pilgrimage -
Envisioning eternity,
Absurd.
No where else to be but now.
No future time to come.
But pilgrim sails away,
Circumnavigating his soul,
As Earth around its axis,
Remaining where he is
Blindly oblivious.
However far he goes
However long he sails
Looking for himself, his soul ~
As though it hid
Somewhere else
Preparing for another better time,
Absurd!
The wonder of it all,
The life, the soul, the way,
Is here and now, no doubt, ~
Unhidden,
Awaiting simply
To be bidden out
Into the light of day.

Wonderment ~
Like pearls on strings
Dewdrops on a spiderweb
Around my head
Accompany me.
I seek and find
The things of life,
The life of things,
Which brings
Answers, tentative;
Peace, serene.
My heart swings
Into greater heights
With you.

I know
Your glow
And you know
Mine.
What we shared
Was wondrous life
Right then.

Freedom never felt so near
Unseen as yet
Though it is
Felt within.
Is freedom
So "far out"
or is it, so far, - in?

A way ~
Away.
