Aliens

I look to the sky
Wondering
If the aliens will ever come

I look to the sea
Realizing
They’re already here

When my sense of wonder
Needs to be renewed
I rely on nature

In the failing twilight
Upon the farther shore
Warm lights rise
In the encroaching night

I wonder at the lives
Lived in the glow
Which to me

Seems just a dot
Reflected

Off a still sea

We small creatures
Of no small hubris
Construct our wonders
In the shadow
Of glories profound

I am truly happy
Only when seeking
The wonder of existence
Even the smallest
Only when feeding my awe
In which I become
Infinite

The heat of the day lingers
Even as the low haze
Filters the sunken sun

I stop for a moment
Lean up against the fender
In the dry, brittle air
While the engine tinks and cracks

I never tire
Of the small wonders this world offers

I wonder at the patterns in the sand
How they got there
The intricate harmonies of line and shape
What could create such beauty?

Then the wave comes
And I wonder anew
At the interplay of moving water and sand
The rivulets and eddies and smaller waves

I often wonder
At nature’s hand
Both in awe
And as a query

Artist and creator
Of worlds fantastic
And unimagined
By lesser gifts, as mine
