Man Is That Miracle:

Silhouettes dancing with elegant gestures, In ecstatic Moonlight dwelling in the ethereal sphere. An oasis thriving in a wondering mind, Mixed with emotions that teeter the edge. As I search the Heavens for answers untold, Is it in my grasp, the enlightened soul? Finding solace in the beauty of this world, Still, my heart is beating a forgotten love song. When the songbird takes flight he captures my spirit, Observing the trees standing proudly on majestic earth. How can one forsake this ancient sacred vow? The strong bond of souls in the eternal glory. We imprison ourselves in every comprehensible way, If seeing is believing then I am an unbeliever, The unfathomable acts that man participates in, To the other side of the spectrum, he is a miraculous being. /|\

Your free verse is deep, creative and so smooth in its composition. A twin it seems to me in line with your sonnet writings too. This one is a gem.... a fav....

This is a very soul searching poem. Man does engage in many unspeakable acts which grieve the heart of God Almighty. But all men are not like that. There are those of us who love all that God has done and we strive to preserve that which is beautiful. A fine write my friend. It causes the reader to think and ask questions. A big seven from me. God Bless and thanks so much for the kind words on my "Selene - Goddess of the Moon". JB
