Small Wonders Poem by Raj Arumugam

Small Wonders



1
I did not go
to the Niagara
to see beauty
I did not go
see the Taj or Giza, or the Great Wall
to witness power and strength



2
I went to the anonymous
green and the flowers
in my backyard
I went to see the grass
grow between roads
and I saw the weed
push through concrete

I went to the open fields
inconsequential, indistinct

and I saw Beauty there
and I saw Power there
