The Miracle

Stealthily
it comes 
in whispers 
a smell
a taste
an unexpected view
a draught  through a crevice.
In a sneeze or snuffle 
it flows
unseen
unheard
yet present.
Silent  gentle 
an angel’s touch
here now
 soon gone.
A ray of light,
a pattern on an icy window pane
 illusive but present.
Yet in stillness
we touch it
in the space
within us
around us 
in floating cells.
Seek  find 
touch savor
the miracle that’s you.
