Miracles

by Julie Adams

how they embrace hearts
like enraptured lovers;

how they breathe themselves
into the lungs they must fill;

how they seep into satin souls
before any cloudy consciousness;

how they deliver their fruits
ripe to pluck, divine to share;

how humble their recipients;
how forgiving the Lord.

Author's Note: How God's gifts keep on giving, how blessed I am to have such miraculous people around me. This came to me. I wrote it. More I cannot say.

Your words embrace the heart, breathe themselves into the lungs, seep into the soul, delivering their fruit divine and one feels as if inside a miracle...

How should a miracle appear but at the writing hands of a writer who is herself a miracle of existance. Stunningly beautiful, Jules. Straight into my favorites. Were I the Lord, I'd have my angel find a special place for that in the library of heaven.

...julie, ahhh such a rotund way of talking about the unspeakable...blessings[i've learned to see lately]...they're as abundant as snow to the eastern seaboard...too many to count in specifics and you do a glorious job of corralling them...

This flows like it was written in one take - natural, thankful, from deep within. Thank you.

aww...this is sweet. i didn't know you had this soft, spiritual side jules!...i love it tho. anytime a poet(ess) shows versatility as such...i gain tons of respect & love for them. this is excellent...it's warm and cups me like two huge, suave hands. i would elaborate but my brain is currently shutting off - big time. xxo!

Miracles, like grace, seep into satin souls, almost as if to creep up - so unlike the in-your-face stimuli we get from media and the postmodern chaos. Sometimes the miracle is not so much that God can forgive me, but that I can forgive myself. Thanks for this lovely poem.
