Best Wonderstruck Poems

In Nazi times, lives were put in danger.
Good folks hid Jews so that they would not die.
Imagine risking one’s life for a stranger!
Wonderstruck by something such as that am I!

And many other acts of bravery
I’ve heard about have made me want to cry.
What sacrifice throughout...

I was only but a child
and to me, she was the littlest of bugs
within my tiny hands
I gave her the fragilest of hugs.

In my life I would experience
a similar range of emotions,
like gleaming at Niagara Falls
and watching my daughter do backflips in angelic motion.

But this...

I know the land where spiritual trees flower
There in Eden’s garden* of blessed beauty
Midst grand creation displaying God’s power
Wondrously marvelous with goodness-bounty!

Wellness’ scent pervades as love-grace trees flower
Along healthful herbs perfuming paradise
Refreshing soul toward celestial tower
In communion with the loving Friend Who’s Wise.

I hope to...

We're up so high on the mountain top, 
That the night air is cool and so clean. 
Moonlit shadows slow dance in leafless drop
Free from pollution from the city unseen. 

We lay gazing in awe, Mercury, Venus, Mars; 
Wonderstruck in the clear night sky,
The first...

When I was only four,                                        ...

In a world are wonderstruck beings that are wonderful
They all of a sudden start to be, and are wonderstruck
Wonders are there existence as they are being all so sudden
They grasp at such wonder, but than cease to exist before
They leave messages to others so wonderstruck
Ever...

...and so I am wonderstruck
by the blood red moon
as it rises above the edge
of the world.
On this night Selene* 
with chariot and horses of silver,
is pulling the moon across the sky.
On this night when dark witches
want her to die,
they draw their own blood 
to work...

It's chilling outside, and it's shivery. 
Wary of the downpour, she remains mostly, 

Under the forlorn tree, similar to a statue,
Eyes, the cloud of sunset sparkles too.

 I view murkiness from afar off the shimmer of Orion. 
Our spirit imperativeness conveys me to the horizon,...

I see wonder wherever I look,
be it the sea or a babbling brook.
Decoding Mother Nature's handbook,
Time scribes Her secrets in its scrapbook
cataloging every niche and nook.

I need but gaze at a starry sky
or hear the honks of guess flying by
to appreciate Earth; I oft sigh,
picturing...

Captive to the rainstorm
Riding the glaring lightening flare
Blistering the silent egg shaped moon
Tearing open the limitless midnight sky
Flashing with the vengeance 
Of fierce exquisite white gold
Splitting the whirlwind atmosphere
With the perfection of stillness
Transpiring with the serrated shape
Of its jagged naked energy
Thundering within turbulent caverns
Of the...

I’m wonderstruck to know that death
Precedes eternity
That every soul is like a spark
That lights a flame in me

That joy is more than happiness
By how it grows each day
And loving fills an empty soul
By what we give away

I’m wonderstruck to know that God
Is mindful of our...

Strangled in the thoughts,
stuck in the waves,
lost in memories,
that sank in the sand.

There seemed to be a curve,
But I still kept walking,
Thought whatever happens,
will be at that moment seen.

The caress to my soul, 
didn't look so grateful,
 Because blindfolded was I,
 I still kept walking.

One...

Them magic tricks bizarre!
Bodies slit in pieces, pigeons fly out of hats;
Minds ajar!

Heartbeats on edge!
Wonderstruck, no chitchat;
Sword wedge!

Whoosh! whoosh!
Wand's airborne splat;
Touche!!

Them magic tricks bizarre!
Wonderstruck, no chitchat;
Touche!!

"Lovestruck" 

Wonderstruck on this cheerful midnight, 
I overheard the stars by luck. 

Starstruck, I pluck the aroma,
An art of white spirituality. 
Throw this bouquet off the riverbed, 

Refuge this wonderstruck heart,
Sheath ourselves, shuck the peart. 

Dumbstruck by this philosophy,
I fall dumbstruck back to sleep....
