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 Date: 5/1/2019 10:40:00 AM Love this. Lovely done my friend, congratulations for your win! xomo <3 Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 5/1/2019 11:52:00 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

M. L. Kiser Date: 4/15/2019 8:22:00 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! Login to Reply

W.A. Cholt Date: 4/14/2019 5:46:00 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. Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 4/14/2019 6:30:00 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

Kurt Ravidas Date: 4/14/2019 4:40:00 PM The ambiguity of end-all of conception sounds very pleasant for my ears. Thanx for sharing) Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 4/14/2019 6:24:00 PM Thank you for the encouraging words, Kurt! Best wishes, Gershon
