Afternoon of Wonder

This afternoon I will 
        take whatever joy 
  I can 
   A female voice singing 
       leads me to experience 
the feelings of love
    which the unseen has 
    left in the city air
One thousand thousand men and women 
    feel the power of the unseen 
     which generates peace and joy 
What magic has sustained us 
during thei misty afternoon?
  An inkling of what has 
  transpired 
   is available in our 
   sense of wonder 
  which guides all philosiphy 
which gukeds us home
