Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

The Supernatural Natural

Miracle upon miracle, every day, every hour, every minute
   Matters little what Laws of Nature are found in it  

What to a certain mind-set is purely empirical
   To a different persona is clearly a miracle

For just like believing, seeing's tied to perception
   The mind's eye, the be-all and end-all of conception

In one room, a woman gives birth in a natural way
   Yet I saw it happen midst a fireworks display

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart May 1, 2019 at 10:40 AM Love this. Lovely done my friend, congratulations for your win! xomo <3 Gershon Wolf May 1, 2019 at 11:52 AM Appreciate you noticing this win, even if the poet involved (me) is neither supernatural or 'a natural.' (Perhaps 'au natural' when born. Perhaps... LOL). :) gw

P.S. Awtry May 1, 2019 at 9:56 AM Back with Congratulations! You are on a roll! Gershon Wolf May 1, 2019 at 10:05 AM Thank you so much for noticing (and for notifying me)… My rolls tend to be short-lived; we'll see if this one has any longer to roll... Who knows? Appreciate your support greatly! :) gw

P.S. Awtry April 24, 2019 at 6:00 AM Excellent my philosopher and poet friend! Gershon Wolf April 24, 2019 at 9:50 AM So happy, so truly happy to hear from you this morning. Your generous comment has made my day!! Best wishes, Gershon

M. L. Kiser April 15, 2019 at 8:22 PM This is so very true. We often don't see what is right in front of our eyes. I recall a day when I was so stressed that I would walk into filing cabinets while looking at them. Thank God that I got over that!

David Mchattie April 15, 2019 at 2:33 PM Many people are blind to the wonders of this world, Sad. Have a great day my friend. Gershon Wolf April 15, 2019 at 5:20 PM So true, David. We've got to keep those eyes wide open. ~ Gershon

W.A. Cholt April 14, 2019 at 5:46 PM To my way of thinking, the mind that comprehends/appreciates the natural and the supernatural has a truer and deeper understanding. Philosophy and science. Neat poem. Gershon Wolf April 14, 2019 at 6:30 PM May we come to see that they are two sides of the same coin, so to speak. Thank you for your profound comment. :) gw

Panagiota Romios April 14, 2019 at 5:15 PM Perfect, Gershon! 'to a different person is a miracle. Well said. Panagiota Gershon Wolf April 14, 2019 at 6:25 PM To each his own, as they say. Thanks, Panagiota! :) gw

Kurt Ravidas April 14, 2019 at 4:40 PM The ambiguity of end-all of conception sounds very pleasant for my ears. Thanx for sharing) Gershon Wolf April 14, 2019 at 6:24 PM Thank you for the encouraging words, Kurt! Best wishes, Gershon
