The Seven Wonders of the World
Black curls and hazel eyes
What do you think of when you gaze wise
Broken little girl inside heading cries
What makes a wonder of the world so intrinsic?
The brokenness and pieces that fit exquisite
How can wonders fit in so ardent
Like the Chichan Itza`s pieces are glued so capacious
When I think about our broken places
I think about those who glued in the spaces
Like our mind, is the inside of the Taj Mahal
Screaming out beauty to all
But not all quite understand the story behind the wall
With all the earnestness of Christ Redemeer
We are asked to create a power greater than hear
Say what thou wilt, but head one seer
Stories of our minds length the Great Wall
Dwelling in our minds but leashed with ones call
Take a look back and see your corral
If only our mind could open to potential like Machu Picchu
Then would one be satisfied by you?
Would one stop the search of knowledge anew?
Or would you close and hide like the inside of the Roman Colosseum?
Such beauty divine, take out and summon
Springs comes and winter fades, why haven`t you turned to summer?
If your mind runs like the water used to in Petra, Jordan
Why can`t it feed the garden?
And bring on the warren?
Caterpillars' turn into butterflies, turn into a butterfly darling
The time is now, to unleash your mind accordingly
Take the miracles of words and flow devotedly
For you are more precious than all of the wonders of the world
