I Wonder

As Allure of the Seas came into port in Labadee, Haiti...I couldn't shake the sadness I felt for the poor souls suffering on that beautiful island. Where we were docking the world was a tropical paradise...but I know that's not the truth....This picture is sunrise in Haiti...


Poem Artwork

 

I wonder…
At the exceptional beauty of early dawn,
The brilliance of rainbows on cloudy days,
Stars that twinkle against a velvety ebony sky,
The moon that spreads its warm light
Upon the earth in the darkest nights!
I wonder…
At the miracle of my children,
The magic in my grandson’s laughter,
Unforgettable comfort of my mother’s hug,
Profound wisdom of my father’s guidance,
The power of love!
I wonder…
At the complexity of this earthly journey,
The strength of the human spirit,
Courage of the downtrodden, the hopeless,
The inevitability that we are all equal
And all headed in the same direction!
I wonder...

I wonder…
At the complexity of this earthly journey,

It is a chaotic world/life, Annabel. You offer substance to think upon through your verses. Love and best wishes,

The right things to wonder about–beautifully expressed. Yes, Haiti is a place of great beauty and great prosperity.• Eventually, the people there will experience it.

Having taken three Royal Caribbean cruises, I know that you are on a ship that is a wonder in itself. If the world is like the progress in cruise lines, then everyone on this great boat will eventually prosper and enjoy all the amenities that we can dream of.

I think when we ponder such things and look around the world we live in that the value of the things we hold dear increases tremendoslly.

Boats do that to you. I suppose we are ultimately all equal, same destination and all, but as you are so keenly aware, lives are not lived so similarly. Patrick

Anna, I enjoyed this write, lots to think about. Hopefully we never reach the point where we no longer wonder, for I fear arriving at that place. I have a DICKISM about wondering, but it's not one of my better one's so it might never get posted.

Thanks Dick

Places like and the people of Haiti make me wondor also, of how wonderful our lives are in compairson to those people in places like Haiti. Thirty years ago, when I was there on a cruise stop also, the poverty seemed to me to be almost unbelivable.

This give you pause to wonder. What I have never figured out is the island is divided into two parts.. The Dominican Republic takes up the other part of the island. These two countries are as close as you can possibly get geographically, but worlds apart in how they manage their affairs. Haiti is in constant turmoil (politically for the most part) while the Dominican Republic seems to have figured out how to live peacefully together.



Great poetry, Anna. In-dept and question, which always gives the reader more than he/she bargained for.
