Miracle

What do we perceive to make of this word
Generated in this modern mans world

Lets take a trip back, lets look and see
What makes a Miracle to be

The awesome explosion of millennium past
The very first day life took it's first gasp

The very next day we began to evolve
It was the day, Earth started to revolve

The revolve is our generator of the life we see
As we read this line, it was to be

Organisms small, that grew so tall
Past life's creatures, that existed to fall

But its in the newer world, the Miracle came about
Out of the ordinary, which led the people to shout

Eventful happenings never seen before
Volcanic eruption, opening Earth's door

Meteors streaking across the sky
Crash landing, tell me why

The Earth quakes to shake us up
Fissures, abrupt

Weather patterns all year round
As we grew, we had to understand

We are further on than we were before
This Miracle word we have come to adore

An earthly spore a child born
A mum and dad, the righteous norm

Freeway pile up, they all survive
How could anybody get out alive

Hudson River, plane splashes down
Hero Pilot, not one did drown

Through my eyes it's a word i see
In other eyes it's their perceive

Inspired by my favourite band Queen " The Miracle "

Wow, you sure hit a home run with this one, James. There are so many "miracles" that cannot be explained. The Miracle on the Hudson was amazing. Watching those passengers being rescued by nearby vessels was riveting, and so is your poetry. Love, Carolyn (Not surprisingly, Queen is my favorite too.)
