Precious Wonders

Dawn comes.

Light enters the world in a splash of color -

Gold, yellow, red, and blue.

Out of the saintly silence,

A billion beating hearts

Begin to cheer, together, all at once,

Filling up the world with song.

This happens every single day.

Rain touches me.

It trickles down my skin,

And I can feel it.

Clouds never stop moving.

A rainbow is beautiful -

Even though it didn’t have to be.

But it is.

A newborn baby’s smile

Is pure joy.

My lover’s breath is a miracle.

Her heartbeat is a miracle.

Love is a miracle.
