Creating the Divine

The beauty
Of existence
Seems not always
BeautifulI discover the divine
Through smoke haze
Muted tones
And hidden features

Seek the clarity
Beneath the murk
Colourless moments
Can be vivid

I remind myself
Create the divine
From the apparent
Mundane

I was taught
All glories
Soon enough
Will pass

Until I
Understood
Everything
Is glory

At the intersection
Of darkness and light
I discover rainbows

Rooted to the ground
Yet swimming into the sky
Flight of fantasy

Raindrops falling
On a fountain
Adds an instrument
To a song

In a world
Offering few choices
Of equal value

Either apparent
Or actual

Which is the better choice?

The options
Beg investigations

Which may or may not
Reveal the better choice
Apparent or actual

Should I choose
Not to decide

I still have made a choice

There are moments I’ve witnessed
Of such angelic perfection

As if existence itself
Had tapped me on the shoulder
And whispered, look
This is how it really is

My hope and faith in humanity
Cannot be broken

Form and line
Texture and tone
Juxtapositions of shape
Balance of thirds

These sensations of the eye
Become meaning in my mind
And beauty in my being

The beauty of the natural world
Reassures me
Helps me keep the faith
That we can be too
That we are
That I am

The thunderous sea
The ravaged beach
The turbulent sky

And I on my buffeted perch
Witness to all this tumult

Moved, again, by wonder
