When wonders burst intact upon the eye <br />demanding focus and attention full: <br />of mind and will and spirit, too, they fly <br />into conscious awareness, where they gently pull <br /> <br />us away from mundane pursuits; take us to realms <br />etheric where Spirit alone does in grandeur dwell <br />and in whose great manse we must don the helms <br />of our Soul's own reason, lest we ever quell <br /> <br />a hope in the world of light, of life, and even love: <br />the source of all wonders found here below; <br />not residing in some paradise far above <br />but deep within each heart where feelings flow <br /> <br />and wonder's blessings may truly be found <br />in Love's great miracles that everywhere abound. <br /> <br />(Copyright 3/18/2006)<br /><br />Hugh Cobb<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-wonders-burst-intact-upon-the-eye/
