Glory ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #334

Golden glory of sunrise
Remind me
Existence is a miracle thrice

That there is something to observe at all
That there is something to observe it all

And that I am both those somethings

The world moves
In its own time
And I in mine

A dance
A rhythm

Obstinate
Relentless

Cadence
Unique
To my mind’s
Perceiving

And should I not exist
To observe
As sun surrenders sky
To the stars

Would there be time
At all?

I discover the divine
In moments
Of connection
With all that is

I begin to wonder
If the divine
Is in the moment observed

Or is divinity
Created by the act

Of observing

There is a bridge I know
It can take you from somewhere
To somewhere else
And back again
If you care to
As I suppose
All bridges do

But I am neither here
Nor there
About the here
Or there

I prefer to be centre-span
Leaning over the rail
While worlds at odds
Pass below and behind
Their conflict bridged

There I stand
The quiet observer
To tally the to and fro
Of lives and matter
On the move
Matters of both
Consequence
And no matter

And whichever mark I tally
Important or insignificant
Or just some passing fancy
It is all just so damn

Beautiful
