Miracles

 


In the palm of a hand,


a shell;


inside, a pearl,


a black disk


holding more than any


palm could.


 


A never ending circle,


its revolution revealing


times


           places


                       events


                                   memories


dormant,


barely concealed


underneath layers of smudged


graphite on a


squint label.


 


In the palm of a hand,


a basket;


inside, loaves and fishes,


feeding the masses,


more than the contents of any


palm could.

Hi, This is really beautiful! Serene and delicate, yet thought-provoking - and the imagery is breath-taking. This is more a painting than a poem, and you've done a magnificent job. Thank you for this! :)
