Ultimately
there is nothing~
and if nothing
resonates
(for no one)
what-is may
seem already
miraculous~~
It is evident
in all aspects of life
The Miraculous
Power of Art
It can encompass,
transcend reality
through all it's phases
Causes one to
change the direction,
focus of their life
Digs deep inside
your inner being
Utilizes the creative juices,
helps you to
truly feel your Soul
Opens mindfulness in
your consciousness all
the while putting you
in a happy
state of existence
Redemption*
Heavenly gift
God’s miraculous work
Faith assuring eternal life
Fulfillment
*Psalms 130:7 ... With the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.

Soon festive time will arrive
To remind us that Christ’s alive
Celebrate the birth
With much joy and mirth
Praise the miraculous sky dive.
On a night last month
a full moon rose above
the city skyline across the bay
and sent its light to dance
on the water around my feet.
It had traveled a long way
to reach me and seemed as if
it was infused with the miraculous.
I bent down and scooped up
a little of the light.
It felt alive, trembling
in the cupped palm of my hand,
so fragile in the gravity
of this angry world.
It's a miracle, this life inside of me
It's amazing, just the air I breath
Every morning waking
Everyday that takes me
Closer to the day that I see You
It's a miracle, that we're creating
No, not alone, I can do nothing
Without the One, who created you and me
Without God, who created everything
Marvelous! Astonishing!
Awesome! Breathtaking!
All That God gives me,
all that God gives me is…
Remarkable! Phenomenal!
Extraordinary! Incredible!
All that God has done,
All that God has done!
Miraculous.
It's a miracle, to see the sunrise
It's amazing, to hear a babies’ cry
The God who ma-ade
The God who made the mountains move
The God who ma-ade,
Made the ocean tides
This same God, made me and you!
Marvelous! Astonishing!
Awesome! Breathtaking!
All That God gives me,
all that God gives me is…
Remarkable! Phenomenal!
Extraordinary! Incredible!
All that God has done,
All that God has done!
Miraculous.
We can sit and question how everything is this way
We can understand, yet feel powerless every day
We can rant and rave and vent of such things wrong
But, we must not forget, the strength in beauty of a song
The one thing that connects us all, is creativity around
A painting to see, book to read, song to hear, these places,
- meaning and love is found -
It is all miraculous, coming from our soul inside
Words that speak truth, words that can never hide
Feeling something someone said, a dance to a song
Things that heal pain or bring forgiveness for wrong
These gifts and talents, intricately connect us all
Being willing to spread this, helps another not to fall
Everyone has something, to believe, share and give
All it takes is being willing to let yourself live

Divine art possess who operates
the prodigy of wetting the water
burn the fire
and warm the sun
in deep winter
I am a bird in miraculous flight
Looking down upon everything in sight
As the land rushes by, I take a look
Flowing like the water in the brook
I am free, breathing air in the sky
A natural ability, I don’t question why
I land where I choose, flying down below
I watch the actions of the fellow crow
This creation is my precious home to explore
When I fly each flight, I need nothing more

Oh, Miraculous Muse!
Let me give my muse voice when its whispers are free
(if it sings loud and clear), when I struggle to grok
what’s revealed to my ear, when I reel with the shock
of a poem’s word choice, can’t agree to agree.
Let me pour my heart into my muse’s intent,
all volcanic eruptions of rhyme and free verse,
not attempt to disrupt (cork its cone), risk perverse
or no comments, chagrin that I’ve found such content.
Let me not sit in judgment or labor for twist
that my intellect spins (that my poems can’t praise),
not chain muse to my sins, or tie truth to cliches.
throw white pearls to a grudge that detractors resist.
Let me wrestle with joy and embrace gifts of pain
that life lays at my door (as if purposed by God)
and more seek to adore what the World oft calls odd,
all creation employ that serves Poetry’s gain.

The greatest reflection ever seen
On a glass wall in the street
The sky, the trees, the traffic, the pedestrians, the shops
Never try to walk into the wall
With dreams
During your office intervals
Even if you only see a bird flying through
So free and charming
But it will soon be restricted
The greatest scene ever found outside the office
The sky, the trees, the traffic, the pedestrians,, the shops
Never try to walk out to this world
With illusions
During office hours
I use to look out of the window
Suddenly I seem to fall out to this world
With a lot of people outside looking
Waiting to come in
MIRACULOUS DOWNPOUR
Exuberant, miraculous downpour spreading its wings ,forming a canopy above
Seems benevolent Almighty showers hugs and cuddles
Breezy, green bushes head over heels in love
I immerse in healing bubbles and scurries off all troubles.

born to miraculous earth
to fulfill a journey worth
azure sky welcomed me,
so did the bottomless sea
hills, meandering river,
world is boundless wonder
born to miraculous earth

Blazing sun with horrid heat waves
Parching leaves and shallow brooks
Earth scorched like a frying pan
At once, a depression in the ocean
Cold winds, convectional rains chill weather
Miraculous nature always surprises me.
