the town's fountain was frozen 
in pendant beauty 
we marveled for seven days
until the sun released it

displaying her wealth to every man. 
Who marveled at her beauty 
with casting stones in hand....

wanted to hang labels on her
she punched her way out
kicking and shrieking her truth
we marveled at her sense of self...

She was born from the inside of a high heel shoe
With styles and patterns and colors of every hue 
We marveled at her beginnings, she was always true
Giving credit to her creator for designing this gorgeous shoe...

Marveled At Many Things

May have Marveled At Many Things,
And heard church choir as it sings;
Worries and fears,
Removed by cheers;
All our hearts soon will start opening.

"Much I marveled this ungainly Foul to hear discourse so plainly
Though its answer little meaning;
Bereft of all that I adore."
Further sitting there in English parliament I wondered
What this monstrous Panting "mother"
Meant....

Saw a friend yesterday, hadn't seen for a year
Marveled at my weight loss, grinned from ear to ear
What was my secret he wanted to know
Told him I eat less, it's easier as you go
Proud that he noticed, so worth it that's clear...

Do you claim I’m dumb
Crazy and stupid
I have marveled this
With skeptical eyes
I see through façade

Dumb is not me
I have smarts true
Can see over
And beyond you

Proof in need
I can show
My good grades

My heart
Mind true

Smart

Sadie looked like a delicate porcelain Madame Alexander doll.
As if she had stepped out of an old-fashioned magazine stall.
Her delicate curls were perfect as if done by Mr. Hairdresser Paul.
We marveled at her fur-lined cape, she was the hit of the ball....

The ultimate painter provided this mountain scene
the purple edelweiss marveled at the pinks of the sky
Azure blues of the water coordinated in a fine dance
There is a rhythm here not seen anywhere else
And maybe never seen again, even here.
A photo moment...

God was wearing a dress and a pinafore in my dream.
She had a bubble pipe 
She was blowing bubbles into planets
Creating the universe
God is a little girl I marveled

God continued her work
Not looking in my direction
It was okay
I am thrilled
To know her
At last...

Grand Canyon had never seen such a cloud.
once-in-a-lifetime kind of whiteness
dollops of whipped cream
topping like no other
before or since
the rain was gentle, like a kiss
I marveled that I was there
To see this rain cloud in person
No photo could have captured it....

Out the back window
The icicles drip,
Releasing their droplets
From wintertime’s grip.

I once would spend hours,
My grandson in tow,
And watched as they dropped
On the snow piles below.

We marveled together, 
His world sparkling new,
But at 7, he has
Better things he can do....

When first we met,
I marveled at your flawless flesh;
nary a wrinkle or blemish did offset.

Until cancer took your breast,
leaving a scar, obvious as a mountain range
upon your once flawless flesh.

The scar a reminder of what had been
and a symbol, not of an end, 
but a new beginning to life again....

I've lived in nowhere
felt it's edges
resided in it's blissful emptiness
marveled at the complete beauty 
of what it's like to be invisible 
I used to skip rocks in a lonely pond
just to watch the water ripple 
and when the water finally stood still again,
I had mixed emotions
because nowhere was home....

He walked across the water
passed by disciples’ boat
He did a fast for forty days
In regions quite remote
He cast out unclean spirits
And sent them into pigs
His words had the ability
To wither trees of figs
He saw the Holy Spirit
At the Jordan, when he bathed
But when he met centurion
He marveled at his faith...

Drink her water
Breathe her air 
Bask in sun's bright glare
Feed upon natures delights 
Lay and watch the starry night 
Stroke the faithful
Dig the soil
Sail the seas 
Climb the heights
Lunar love 
Rivers run
Milk made
Beast beings marveled
Birds startle
Fish swim
Her and him
Planets giddy
Stars collide
A great universal ride...

Tonight, I marveled at a magnificent full moon hanging in the Colorado sky!

It spread its mellow glow upon snow-capped Pikes Peak, so pleasing to the eye!

Contemplating its beauty as I gazed heavenward in awe,

It occurred to me that this was the very same moon that Jesus saw!

With your cruelty
You turned my heart to stone
Then with skillful hands
You crafted it with your chisel 
Chipping away small pieces 
Sculpting life like wings
Providing the illusion of magnificence
How the world marveled at your masterpiece
Envied my perceived trancendence
Yet sadly my heart would never be able to fly!...

It makes sense that Wadandra had turned into a tree.
No one loved the forest more than she
For almost a hundred years, she made her home there
When she passed none of her people remained
Her husband and children had gone before her
People marveled when they saw her
She was photographed and revered
Showing up in an awesome way as an oak...

I have stood beneath your Bridge
and marveled at the music
being whispered in its wires.
I saw America flash pass
on your train riding west,
a kaleidoscopic rush of signs
knitted into a vision too large
to hold in one mind.
You drowned in its immensity.
Through the taut miles
of shuttling, the wind
still murmurs
your timeless prayers....

I passed a store that just sold brooms
On Granville Isle, B.C.
Two sisters weave them in Vancouver
For their company.

I marveled at the many styles
In varied shapes and sizes
That many folk no longer use
As home life modernizes.

I rarely use a broom myself
But, swept up by temptation,
I bought a mini version
As a kitchen decoration....

Circumstances forced me
To step out of my routine
So I took my morning walk
Right after 2 cups of caffeine.

I felt so energetic
Anyone I came to face
Would have marveled at my fitness,
So impressive was my pace.

When a stranger made the comment
Of the title, though, to me,
I just smiled and kept my secret – 
That I really had to pee!...

The new owners 
marveled at the 
long forgotten perky mini doilies 
with their dainty white petals

two layers of weeds away
from soft pink hollyhocks 
hidden for forty years
alongside the forgotten abandoned barn

a human had probably not seen
any of these dainty delights since the eighties
when the farm was lost by the family
to bankruptcy...
