When wonders burst intact upon the eye
demanding focus and attention full:
of mind and will and spirit, too, they fly
into conscious awareness, where they gently pull
us away from mundane pursuits; take us to realms
etheric where Spirit alone does in grandeur dwell
and in whose great manse we must don the helms
of our Soul's own reason, lest we ever quell
a hope in the world of light, of life, and even love:
the source of all wonders found here below;
not residing in some paradise far above
but deep within each heart where feelings flow
and wonder's blessings may truly be found
in Love's great miracles that everywhere abound.

What a fantastic title! I loved this, it had a sort of Gothic quality to it - and of course, one of those wonders is finding a poem just like this. Hugs Anna xxx
The 'wonder' is just the thing that keeps us going, searching for it, trying to capture it in words from our limited minds. Hugh, I love your work. Scarlett PS The only thing that bothered me about this work is your use of & sign in the next to last line. Sorta took away from the beauty of the work. Scarlett
A very nice poem! ! These wonders keep me going! ! Best Regards Ray
