Miracles

MIRACLES

What’s next
On the long list of  miracles?
Talk of ‘thin air’
(He seemed to vanish into thin air)
Yes!
But is the air really thin?
It seems    from past discoveries    the air is loaded
      loaded with particles not even the strongest lenses
      might detect
A few –a gifted few - have looked into this thickness
    discovered the miraculous
Yes!
They looked beyond    brought a togetherness
Now    perhaps others    somehow    will look
Beyond beyond unto a point
    visited only by greatest prophets
                            a point beyond form or substance
    surrounded only by light
                                a point where no sun is needed
    where everything is possible  
                                                 nothing but miracles
     a SINGLE point of existence
Beyond    beyond    beyond    beyond …………..

Michael Smith May 1, 2012 at 7:33 PM Interesting piece. I reads this because my wife's name is Milagros (Miracles).

Andrea Dietrich June 17, 2011 at 8:19 PM This is deep deep deep. Wow, how did I ever miss it here? Not posted long ago either. I love how you think, Daver!

Michelle Mac Donald June 17, 2011 at 7:54 AM Hey Daver! A very profound write! Those elusive and ethereal particles, the essence of hope and miracles? Surely a "substance surrounded only by light". They can be caught on the breath of one such as you! Best wishes to you and yours, Love Mikki

Vince Suzadail Jr. June 16, 2011 at 2:12 PM With the way society is headed, we will need those miracles to stay in existence. Just thought I'd drop in and visit an old friend. Vince

James Foulk June 15, 2011 at 8:32 PM thank you for commenting on mr robin pays a visit. it sounds like you use to live in Denver, that is where i live now. Saginaw use to have a minor hockey league team that played my home town of Des Moines Iowa back in the late 60's and early 70's. and a great song Saginaw Mich. by lefty Friizel.

Sara Kendrick June 13, 2011 at 11:23 AM I believe that it is there beyond..Looking forward to witnessing it in person..Enjoyed reading your creative work today...My work "Sealed With A Bilberry Kiss" was based on the picture for the contest, a painting called "The Lily Pond",my emotions, memories, use of rhyming dictionary, dictionary,and my imagination..Thanks for stopping by and leaving the uplifting comment..Sara

James Peranteau June 13, 2011 at 11:13 AM So poetic my dear friend, and yet, the philosophical attempt enhances this write, yep, you'll have me searching all day for the poundage of nothingness ! (air) ! Have a great week dear poet ! Much love, james

Nette Onclaud June 13, 2011 at 8:00 AM talking of transcendence, your words fly, daver... amazing! :) huggs, nette

Linda-Marie Sweetheart June 12, 2011 at 3:50 PM wonderful extension of looking into the beyond Daver with the air as premise and the eloquent lines explaining it away... a delightful yet thought provoking read my friend... outside checking air..quality luv.. oh..

June 12, 2011 at 11:58 AM Thought provoking piece. Thank you for sharing it with us. Karen

Carolyn Devonshire June 12, 2011 at 10:40 AM Those who manage to reach "beyond" their "point of existence" are the lucky few who manage to tap into the universal consciousness. A dream this would be for me, but I do believe Edgar Cayce is among those who mastered this art. I imagine the air is filled with pollution and it would take a miracle to rise above it. Maybe on the Starship Enterprise. (I don't do well with "love" poems, Daver, but wanted to support Francine's contest.) Love, Carolyn

Kabuteng P.Ink K. June 12, 2011 at 9:22 AM oh wow, Dave! this is just an awesome read-- it truly is amazing how something so minute can actually be as you say it be the "single point of existence"-- there is just soo much wonder here, well beyond our imaginations actually, and Most definitely miracles in their own rights!-- Super enjoyed the thoughts you put in here!
