Reverie of Wonder

"In the absence of complication, trials and tribulations become distant memories. Above sapphire skies delight sanguine eyes - inspiring forthcoming musings of the mind." Does the moon not daub its porcelain glaze on every foolish lover? Does the rain not conceal the absinthian tears of each rent heart? Does the sun not bleach away the darkest ire of every forlorn soul? Does the dusk sky not blush for the pale of each weary spirit? Consider, for a moment, how precious YOU are ... if you were the only cognizant human on this earth, the heavens would still shimmer with stars for your sake alone, each day would dawn with a glorious palette to please your sight ... Every bird would weave its sonorous melody to grace your ears, the oceans would roar for the yearning of your unique spirit, and the very wind itself, would carry your name on its back! Rise, today, and contemplate the wondrous creation that is YOU ... Celebrate the gifts of this Universe that spin for your sole worth, and say "thank you" to the heavens that you are made so extraordinary, with all the miraculous precision and intent that Creation could supply, breathe in the joy of existence, and exhale the jubilant appreciation ...
