Poetic Form 49: Trimeric

The Wonder of...

We lost the wonder of an ordinary day,

hoping for validation in a grand moment,

believing joy appears like a comet on a winter night.

We never connect to the moment of the present.

Hoping for validation in grand moments

clouds our eyes from seeing the colors

the world is painted with. We search time

believing joy appears like a comet on a winter nights.

We wait for decades for the opportunity to know

that we are alive, that we deserve to be loved.

We never connect to the moment of the present.

To unwrap what is ours, to what has always been there,

a life filled with wonder wrapped in an ordinary bow.
