Astonishment Poems - Poems about Astonishment

rising

we rise
although gravity and time 
may hold us in the cupping 
of their hands
we rise in a plethora of dreams
escaping above the vents
of circumstance
we rise into the tent
of all embracing;
and as if, and but, and still 
we rise into each contemplation
new as the reckoning
of togetherness
draws us to the breath
of our existence;
rising, always rising
to meet the

Astonishment

we are not the doer 
yet all doings are done
as impulsed by will of God
beheld by us in wonderment

Oh My God

Oh my god
An expression for emotion
A phrase for my astonishment and frustration 
Oh my god
What a hell to live in
What's the future going to be
It seems hopeless
A phrase for the world too
What a man's destruction does to this world
What can be done
It seems nothing can be done
Oh my god
The world and I are asking for

Astonishment and Wonderment

To feel wonder arise,
in carefree, vibrant dance,
our void-centric presence
surrenders to the flow,
brought forth in innocence.

To feel wonder arise,
filling us with rapture,
we embrace the thunder,
humming, strumming, rumbling,
rising from down under.

To feel wonder arise,
we follow love blindfold;
each caress a surprise,
as in-form nodes awake,
on feeling bliss beats rise.

To feel wonder arise,
vaporise lower mind,
heart pure like morning dew,
porous and

Steep and Bleak

I found it necessary to get rid of some things
I don't usually argue with myself
so I cut some questioning pieces
those unnecessary chunks, you know?
but I think there's little left of me
I didn't have the naughtiness of this throwaway world
I never had the malleability of the insensitive
my soft and permeable heart dries up easy
dies if the

Astonishment

The queen in her gilded coach pulled by white horses
Came gliding on the sea, towards the sandy shore
Where men stood waited to be knighted.

They had done their duty to keep their mouth shut
And averted their eyes to the state’s illegal activity
Now, payoffs a title and membership in a pash club

The queen came ashore, she had

Wonder and Astonishment

we readily admit that we know not how
the tumbler falls each morn
enabling us to awake
from our slumber

we are astonished!

so here we are then
like a computer rebooting
memory infusing sense of continuity 
to our fleeting mind-body ego form identity
which we then take to be the real us
even though facts are otherwise
we yet think and act as fools

The Geese

Blue-black, purple sky recedes 
As dawn peeks out her curtain; 

Eyelids kissed by rising sun, 
of egg shell white, I'm certain.

I say goodnight to night.

With asphalt tapping under foot 
The morning moves another chance 

For me to enter into dance with God.  

I thought I was alone this morning, 
Running in a stillness. 

Lost, with cost 
Of only

Wonder and Astonishment

Looking at objects in astonishment 
Knowing they are but manifestation
We flow through life, in childlike wonderment 

Bliss ensconced, our heart purrs in contentment 
Knowing what eyes see as but illusion
Looking at objects in astonishment 

One with That oneness, in the bliss current
Knowing God within, in meditation 
We flow through life, in childlike wonderment 

In pulse

My Wish Turns Into Astonishment

I throw a coin,
murmur my wish,
it's twirling while going down,
like it has ear that can hear
a dancing sound nearby.

I'm shocked and shook my head,
'coz the coin comes back
and says:
"Ouch! You hurt me!"
"The well has no water!"

I wipe my sweats,
suddenly spank my face
to make sure I'm not sleeping,
why the coin speaks?

Astonishment and Wonderment

Pausing searching, rotating polarity of attention mired in eons of delusional conditioning, looking at all external objects with astonishment, we are awestruck by the beautiful artistry of the magician who conjures and renews these myriad of lifelike images. We permit ourselves a few moments of indulgence in wonderment in this fairyland, to do justice to

Astonishment

That you married me
That the sun rose, the day after you died
That first snowdrops still blossom in the cold
That winter, depression, grief and frustration are not winning
That my smallness matters, when I stand beneath the starry sky
That purity, faith, hope, love, truth, steadfastness and kindness always win

Infinite Astonishment

looking at you looking good without trying
appreciating how blessed i feel that you chose me
this is why i never question God
He just puts all beautification in the right places at the right time
i love how each night you lightly kiss my left hand before bed
then you give me a sweet pickle peck on my left

Astonishment

i never saw 
a beauty like this
said my eyes 
one by the other then 
they kept the silent
and fallen deeply
in admiration…
