Miracles

© Anne-Marie Brzezinski (2013)

There are no such things as miracles
I heard somebody say
I looked at him with saddened heart
And kept upon my way
As I walked along my journey
I thought of what he said
And counted all the special things
That entered in my head
It took no time to realize
How much that we are blessed
And came to the conclusion that
This needs to be addressed-

Everything is a miracle:
The countless sand
The endless sky
Things beyond the naked eye
The howling wind
A shining star
Rainbows reaching from afar
A blade of grass
The stately tree
All a gift to you and me

Everyone is a miracle:
The way we change
Who we become
Why we breathe and where we're from
The ways we learn
How we relate
Wondrous things that we create
Emotions felt
Our thoughts applied
Each soul unique side by side

Every day is a miracle:
The time we wake
To while we sleep
What we sow and what we reap
The lessons learned
The take and give
Passing moments that we live
The evening dusk
And early dawn
Understand? Need I go on?

Don't cry to me of greed and hate
That tear this world apart
Changes wished will come when you let
Miracles fill your heart

In Time

Waiting:
   The sand in the hourglass
   Watching it grow
Crying:
   The rain of a cold dark night
   Letting it flow

Time waits for no one
But how could I know
The heartache I'd feel
When I let my love go

Hoping:
   The roses in dormancy
   Budding anew
Reaching:
   The bough of the evergreen
   Pining for you

Time passes quickly
When there's much to do
It's painfully still
As I wait here for you

Needing:
   The thirst of a desert plant 
   Wilting and sere
Dreaming:
   The thoughts of a treasured night
   Loving you, dear 

Time is eternal
And time makes things clear
It soon will be time
When I'm holding you near

Time is forever
In time we'll be one
Together united
Our new life begun
