'Tis A Wonder

Makes me wonder. Do you all wonder too?

I wonder why “wonder”

Doesn’t last a wee longer

Why awe turns to “as usual”

Upon further perusal

And “surprise” doesn’t surprise us

But for a moment... if at all

Why “amazement” becomes mundane

Commonplace and lame

Why does our mind cease to wonder

Of lightning and thunder

Why does “surprise” and “delight”

Be so quick to take flight

Tis a pity...such a sorrow

That the mind becomes so shallow

 That wonder and awe 

Become cliché and banal

 Tis a wonder…sure a wonder

…That we bother to wonder at all…
