Wondrous things

The moon, she sung a symphony, a lullaby as stars twinkled their approval. Bursting, shining, painting a heavenly night. While the waves dance, glistening and full twisting, rolling, breaking for a distant love. On the sleeping shore, grains of gold numbered one to infinity, fuse lazily with volcanic earth. While the north bathes in glorious rays, the sun staining a waking sky with warm fingers. Caressing every living thing with life; flora and fauna bloom, proud and abundant. A carpet of mothers seed dusting the light with the scent of spice, of sweet perfume. A baptism of Spring. We do not know the secrets of such wondrous things, and they do not concern themselves with our musings. They do not question their worth they just are. How great the lessons from wondrous things.

Beautiful! We have so much to learn from the nature around, the wondrous things around us.
"We do not know the secrets of such wondrous things, and they do concern themselves with our musings." Very true, I loved these lines. In fact, I loved the whole poem. Thanks for sharing!

Mahalo for your kind words. I very much appreciate them and your time.

Hello ohana! Your words are like flute notes that sing of a Paradise that I see only in my dreams. Is this Hawaii? OMG! "A carpet of mother's seed dusting the light with the scent of spice, of sweet perfume"...I can tell this place is your heart.

Aloha ohana :) 'ae my home Hawaii is so deeply embedded... souldeep. I was so homesick when I joined the writers cafe :) we all have our own paradise where our heart is most content I think. Mahalo my ohana x

[Annette Pisano-Higley]

It must have been so hard for you to have to leave Hawaii. I hope the writers cafe helped youand that you are feeling better now- especially with your little gift soon to be delivered. I hope Papua New Guinea realizes it has become home to a star! Be well, my ohana.:)xo

Aww I was wandering when you were leaving the mighty NYC. Big changes for you ohana, but I sincerely wish you an abundance of blessings, and a smooth transition. We're both content with moving home.... you just know when it's time to get back to your roots. If you ever make it to my shores you will have ohana x

The figures used here go flawlessly and draw a beautiful image.

True- everything teaches a lesson.

Very welcome!

And I have swoon the moon just to keep her close, to breed stars at most and let Earth know how much we love each other as one, for I am the shining Sun. So you see, even we would know.

Mahalo Sir Drift much appreciated

' A carpet of mothers seed dusting the light with the scent of spice, of sweet perfume. A baptism of Spring. '

Found it hard to choose a favourite phrase because every one of your phrases, start to finish,
emits a touch of magich. Seems you've looked around you and deeply felt what you've seen and sensed. Thank you so very much for sharing your world.

Mahalo emmajoy :) I appreciate your words very much. I am definitely grateful for these simple wondrous things :)

[emmajoy]

You're so very welcome.. soon to sleep for me, those words will close my eyes..

[Island Hippy]

Lau'lea po, restful sleep friend.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

and we don't stop often enough to appreciate, savor those beautiful things around us. WE are in too much of a hurry...always needing to get somewhere to get something done...
this poem in its beautiful stream of consciousness form compels us to stop..look, and listen.
