Wonder
by Melissa Arel
There were rainclouds in her eyes
and sunshine on her face
She danced with the thunderstorms
and had tea with lightning
The rivers confided their secrets
and she listened to the wind
whisper its dreams
The trees shook their leaves
when she hugged them close
and the birds sang sweet songs
whenever she bid them hello
She was a wonder
for she walked through the fires
and came out refined
Her foes tried to drown her
in a sea of despair
but she was reborn
She was clothed in compassion
and love was her crown.

| Posted by Glenn Currier on 09/08/18 at 04:04 PM Your beautiful poem makes me wonder about this wonder of whom you speak. It makes me wonder about those who have crossed my path who might reflect pieces of your lovely piece. You made me wish I had known this person in my real life. But your poem will have to do as a fitting substitute. Thanks Melissa. |
