Clarity
Clarity
Miracles.
What forms a miracle?
Consider the motion of the ocean.
Remember its tide.
Think of the seashore vast and wide.
Contemplate the tiny, innumerable,
immeasurable grains of sand.
Feel their gravity as you turn them over
over in your hand.
Watch them fall like glitter from your fingers.
Wade in the water, well within reach.
Bathe in the sun on the edge of the beach.
Stare up at the trees.
Watch the branches sway as they receive
Nature's unlimited chances.
Gaze at the leaves carried away by
the gentle breeze.
The grass says hello in the deepest meadow.
The sunflowers reply as they lay beneath the
noonday sky.
The sunlight brings forth the day at dawn.
The dusk captures evening and night
after a glorious sunset.
The stars and the moon shine through
the darkness yet.
There is beauty in the stillness of the atmosphere.
A clarity in the mind of the universe.
It brings the very far very near.
A miracle in its birth.
