Open big, to the canyon of thought
Embrace the skies surrounding, in ought
Then feel, in the expanse of just being,
and breathe . . .
Inhale the moment of life
in all, even in strife
Yes, it’s an infinite wisdom
knowing you . . .
You,
Who stands for whom?
Is,
and has stood,
even before a wonder’s beginning
Unfolding,
before the earth even shattered
You mattered!
You, between the grooves and crevices,
who in your own right
belong,
But not only in just being.
Then guesses . . .
as when asking, "Can you feel me?"
"Can I be felt?",
In wondering, always thinking, asking again . . .
"Will I be stood over, as if being looked at,
in awe, or in pity?"
Then you . . . you seem alone,
when compared to the vast . . .
You,
you are small
and then you ask, yourself,
to yourself,
" Do I just muse against this huge occurrence called existence . . . ?"
Well, I say now, I am you,
I feel you!
Your nature is in man,
and is into . . .
And then a reign fell down on me,
with you . . .

It is great to explore many avenues in writing, and so many different prospection. This brings to mind several of my poems but one in particular "Who Is This Person" along with the graphics reminicent of my many landscapes I painted retreating in the mountains~such beauty indeed.
Thank you for your offerings,
Sincerely,

But God's wonders were created for us. Is it any wonder we're in awe? It is as He intended.
Beautiful and thoughtful!

This is glorious--one feels the poem expand in their mind until the reader sees the grand visions you've penned in beautiful, compelling lines (that rhyme, yet). Good on you--excellent!

I seem to ask myself that quite often these days, but the answer is quite illusive, but you've opened a huge canyon of thought here, Kimmy.
It's just so breathtaking. The picture gives one the sense of feeling so insignificant in comparrison to it's expanse and beauty. I wrote a poem about the canyon after I visited there the first time. I don't recall if I posted a picture but the poem is called enraptured and is posted in my den and if there's no picture I'll upload one tonight. Thanks for this beautiful poem and the outstanding reminder of how much beauty there is in this world.
