The Miracle Poem by Rasheed Sandeelvi

The miracle is not some grand event descending from the sky
Nor the parting of the sea into two halves
The miracle is that silent conviction
That begins to beat again in a broken heart
It is the continuity of the everyday
When a seed emerges from the darkness of the soil to touch the light
When a child smiles without any apparent reason
Then understand that a miracle has occurred
I have not seen anything beyond logic
But when I wake up in the morning
And the wars within me cease
That is a miracle
The miracle is the name of that hope
Which remains alive until the last breath
And says that everything will be alright
This universe is a miracle every moment
Its very existence is a wonder in itself
We just have to abandon the habit of searching for
obvious miracles with our eyes
The miracle is that moment
When we remember the forgotten God
And He looks back at us
