Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

I Marvel

  
                 Eyes open, arms stretch
                 Take a deep breath

                 Knees bend, back straightens
                 Feet bear the weight, back’s not achin’ 

                 Elbows, shoulders all work great 
                 Brain directs the body’s fate… 

                 The world’s alive with me, at my door
                 Bird’s chirping, cat’s purring on the floor

                 My window opens to fragrance of lilacs, roses
                 Sprinklers’ water-jets emitting rainbows 

                 Outside a fawn comes running my way
                 Squirrels frolic to start the day

                 Taught not to believe in miracles
                    I marvel ~ teaching’s all for naught
