Awe.
Wonderment hides in season\'s events, lurks
behind every bird-melody,
shares small beauties of changeable secrets
in forest\'s quiet or babbles by streams,
dances in raindrops, shows wisdom of ears
bent to bee-song or leaf-chorus
as Wonder beats stress in those who listen.
Awe freckles fish, dapples ponies, shapes
clouds, patterns shells, clothes
sunsets with colour, fringes cobwebs with
dew\'s diamanté, sculpts snow,
ridges sand as tide ebbs, blankets spring
hedges with wild flowers and
paints pure sapphire in kittens\' blue eyes.
Wonderment magnifies gems to watchers
of nature\'s art and as minds bend
to suffuse marvel for this trainer of self,
like rose-scent drenches it
strikes startle from extra dimensions and
allows surprise to enter senses
for Wonder bows souls toward perception.
