A 'simple' miracle !

Inspired by Emma Joy's 6th Global Christmas collaboration ..

The achievements of man are many, industrious and sublime
from electricity, television and computers, even spaceships fine
but his efforts pale into insignificance, appearing dull and vague,
when I gaze in awe at a tiny hatchling, emerging from an egg!

We are fearfully and wonderfully made. Man can only create,devil can manipulate,but God can make the impossible happen- that is what miracle is.Darwinism nor industrial mellenism can explain why an egg hatches and how a tiny life evolves from it.You have magnified this incident with your perceptive thoughts Tom.

Yes indeed Sophy, you so discerning perception beyond your tender years and that is to be commended, take a read at my poem ' Who am I ' ...when time permits, again, mother-nature reigns supreme and who can doubt her worldly wisdom ?

[Sophy Freebirds]

I will go through it now.. ;) my age may be tender ,but which fool waits for years to gain knowledge. Gracias Tom.

Thank you Joiedevivre and yes indeed, none can compare or come close with Mother-nature!

simple is the best...i miss my youth, when everything seemed so much more simple...and the thrill for me was watching a calf be born on a farm in Ryegate, Vermont...this brought that memory back.

[Tom]

Thank you Jacob and I too have been privy to such births, the adulation one feels when that new born takes its first breath of fresh air is indeed exhilarating !

[Dhaye]

Hey, Tom. Your theme before in your pieces are mostly about cricket...now it's about animals, huh!

I like the conciseness of your poem, with good choice of words and rhyme scheme.

I enjoyed the verse.

[Tom]

Thank you Dhaye and yes indeed, the cricket season is over now where I'm from I find myself writing about another passion of mine...Mother nature ! And thank you for your perceptive review!

[Dhaye]

You're welcome.

Yes, the magnificence of nature....nothing can compare to it. When witnessing something as beautiful as a hatchling emerging from the egg, we realize what a small piece human beings play in the vast universe. Great attitude, beauitiful imagery, and wonderful rhyming, Tom. Lydi**
