Life's Mysteries

Each trace of life is clothed in mystery, But sense of wonder’s often numbed by pride In man’s achievements throughout history And daily blessings are soon left aside. The age of wonderment surrounds us still; Celestial contemplation will reveal Such mysteries which cannot help but thrill And cause the humbled soul,in awe, to kneel. A tiny mass of cells picks up its pace; Eyes, ears, nose heart are marvellously styled Distinctive fingerprints are soon in place ; Two lives united form a new-born child. With open eyes and hearts we’ll understand That miracles and life walk hand in hand. 26/09/18 'beautiful mystery contest' : sponsored by John Hamilton

The miracle of LIFE - even the simplest forms - we take so much forgranted, what a tender, delicate thread of hourly miracles we dangle by! Wonderful write, Wendy, and congrats on your win, my friend. Blessings! :-) <3

Thank you for the lovely comments, Jesse. I'm certainly more appreciative of life after deliberating on this topic and the carpe diem! Blessings abound if only we'd pause in life!

This is beautiful, Wendy! Incidentally the topic runs parallel to another winning entry by Nina P. Congratulations on your podium finish. Regards // paul

We take so much in life for granted and neglect the many blessings around us daily. I enjoyed your appreciation of new life poetry, Caren.
