Miracle

A single droplet journeys,

from sky to soil falls

then makes its sacred way

all through the vine

 

The fruit is quenched and sated

baptized by Heaven’s tears ~

the miracle of water

into wine

Author's Note

So many miracles that we never see...

An uplifting little journey it is...well said and well written my friend :)

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you, Steve - yes, as all journeys are...

[Gedalya]

Just think, we've been using the same waters since the flood. Lol

[Rita L. Sev]

That's true... another miracle of nature! Thanks for reading!

[Gedalya]

No problem, I like your method of execution. Everything is nice and neat, but doesn't become mechanical. It takes a long time to learn how to do that, lol

[Rita L. Sev]

Age has its benefits... as does over 20 years as an English teacher.. LOL! :)

The older the violin, the sweeter the music. Lol

This makes me remember of one of my fave songs, "When You Believe" by Mariah Carey.
"Who knows what miracles you can achieve, when you believe, somehow you will...you will when you believe..."
Nice poem in its conciseness and a sort of reflection. Thanks for the share, Rita.

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you, Dhaye - great song!

loved this piece....just like nature, simple, yet beautiful...sometimes when my busy mind rests for a few seconds, I see nature and do marvel at how amazing it all is.....I think all of us could learn a lesson from this, slow down our pace a little, and reflect on what nature provides us with.....
I liked the line "The fruit is quenched and sated".......

Thank you, BB. I never understand when someone says they are bored... How can that be with so much going on around them?

very interesting rhyme and rhythm scheme ... quite original ... thank you for your reminder to appreciate so many miracles we walk right past .... hundreds of times each day ... an endless thread :)

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you, E. Yes, there does not need to be anything "religious" taking place for there to be a miracle... :)

[Leslie Philibert]

Like this. This has a thoughtful,original content, that stays on the subject and has thematic and metaphorical strength, almost haiku or tanka like in its brevity. A quality poem.

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you, Leslie. I appreciate your kind words, and value your opinion.

[Anand Sehgal]

Thank you, Noodle - glad you liked this!

From God's miracle of creation to the miracle of the fruit of the vine. How wonderful. I love the way you associated it with even the rain he gives us.

[Rita L. Sev]

Everything is part of everything else... a grand miracle in itself! Thank you so much, Sue!

[David Scott]

Nice!
Linking wine to nature and Christ the Creator through His first miracle.
Great little blessing here.

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you so much, David! I was teaching my Religion class about that first miracle the other day... (thus, this...) :)
