you tell me.
the shuffled whisk of approaching rain,
leaves lifting and swirling in slow motion wind,
how her chin lowers when your voice shakes,
waves thrashing your stones and worries and
pulling them to the sea,
his tender heart searching futily until
it’s easier to look ahead than back,
savoring the near orgasmic center of the artichoke,
watching the fire crackles in the pitch of night;
you: when destiny calls.
me: when happenstance delivers.
You tell me this is not the way miracles appear
and I will tell you
to look again.

I will tell you - that I believe, as you do, that miracles exist all around us - we sometimes just need to look for them closely.
ReplyDeleteI have purloined the Buddha quote from your last post which accompanies your provocative words~
Purloin away, Amanda!
DeleteToday I was thinking that there are no absolutes in miracles. I wonder what to make of that? :-)
