A Sublime Moment Poem by William Jackson

A Sublime Moment

Rating: 5.0


A green sprout,
A single blade of grass,
A pharaoh ant wiggling its golden antennae,
Thousands upon thousands of leaves rustling with the wind,
Shimmering in the trees against a backdropp of cobalt blue sky.
No one else seems to even notice.

Likewise,
At first glance and then forever thereafter,
I noticed your exquisite brilliance,
your gentle curves,
supple grace,
poise.

What a sublime mysterious wonder you are,
an unexpected joy to comprehend,
a living artwork,
magic!

A green sprout,
A single blade of grass,
A pharaoh ant wiggling its golden antennae,
Thousands upon thousands of leaves rustling with the wind,
Vibrating in symphonic harmony against an endless sky of cobalt blue.
Yet, not one of these compares with a soul like you!

Powerful love poem, William. 'How do I love thee? Let me count the ways? ' You've counted a few in this poem. Well done.

Many little things in Nature that we sadly ignore can give forth jets of profound joy in our hearts and ignite in our fancy sparks of poetic exuberance! A beautiful poem!
