Neglected Miracles



Each breath inhaled
Each one unnoticed
All life-giving
All merit rejoicing

Each nap taken
Each snooze forgotten
Could drag thee one-way
To darkness, sans light of day

Each morsel swallowed
Each dutifully handled
Nourishing our beings
Frames go budding

Each sip downed
Each drop imbibed
Renewal in progress
Essence to incandesce

Each touch from Beloved
Each stroke from Cherished
Send waves of ecstasy
Releasing juices of bliss

Each blink of thine eyes
Each spell when open
Explode vistas of beauty
Or warnings of jeopardy

Each act of love, when
Each innocently taken
Must surely mellow
The most stubborn of fellows

Each time we awaken
Each time we hearken
To miracles that pass
Love’s sure to surpass

My angel, let’s take note
Lest miracles get lost
Lest wonders felt only when gone
Lest the now is abandoned

To a past of mere regrets
