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.

A wondermental write Fay - if that is a word?! heehee. Spell-checker doesn't like it!
Yes a wonderment indeed is finding true awe dear Orchi
O LORD MY GOD ~ When I in awesome Wonder
Consider ALL the things your hand has made !
I see the Stars ~ I hear the Rolling Thunder
Your Power throughout the Universe displayed !
Then sings my Soul ~ Creator GOD to YOU
How Great You are ~ How Great You are !
Thanks for Caring & Sharing FAY
Something of the AWE with which we experience
the Wonders of God's Creation each & every DAY !
Birds & Bees ~ Forests & Streams ~ Pike & Ponies
Cobwebs & Kittens ~ Clouds & Cockles ~ Snow & Snowdrops
Scent of Roses and all the Woody Woodland smells !
Not only in Cornwall ~ But also Industrial Essex !
And I say to myself "What A Wonderful World"
My Fellow Scientists are looking for another PLANET EARTH
In "The Goldilocks Zone" but personally I think it's a MYTH !
They will only find one if GOD chose to Create another
Living Planet in Our Galaxy or another !
I look around ~ GOD is there
I look through my MICROSCOPE ~ God is there
I look through my TELESCOPE ~ God is there also
In my POEM today "POWER of the CROSS"
GOD is there also !
HANDS that Flung Stars into Space
To cruel nails surrended and ALL FOR US !
Thanks FAY ~ GOD is active on MPS TODAY
Your Good Friend as always ~ BRIAN
My mother-in-laws all time choice of hymn was How Great Thou Art - - and your comment outlines the ways we can all find awe dear Brian - and see God in all that we come across in daily life. Thank you very much for your input on this wonderful subject of wonderment displayed all around.
And now that winter has broken and we are in the garden - the Wonderment is all around us to find again! Hope you had one of your "wonderment" walks today!
I have indeed enjoyed a wonderful walk today dear Lorna and noticed the heaps of bluebells lighting the pathway I take through the woods - and the tiny primrose vying with taller shows of springtime filled my heart with an inner joy - must try to write of that lovely experience before the awe fades. - -- thank you so much for your lovely comment.
All life should be lived in wonderment Fay. Very good write.
Agree most wholeheartedly dear Goldi - live life in wonderment is what we should aim for. Glad you enjoyed the read.
it was tough
but I got through it.

Bless you for trying to make sense of my metaphors Pauly and in this one I wanted to highlight the feeling of awe at nature's amazing ability to use changes - - - thanks a load for your comment.
