Miracle

A single droplet journeys,

from sky to soil falls

then makes its sacred way

all through the vine

 

The fruit is quenched and sated

baptized by Heaven’s tears ~

the miracle of water

into wine

Author's Note

So many miracles that we never see...

How very lovely Rita...so simple..so sweet.
This is wonderful... I have noticed that you can take a simple thought or observation and blossom it into life's beauty.

My admiration.

Your words that give us these thoughts are beautiful and give me cause to think beyond the miracle of water into wine to the miracle of wine that turns into the blood of Christ.
The phrase "baptized by Heaven's tears" is especially touching!!

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you so much, Sheila. There is so much to be said for miracles, even ones that science can "explain"... knowing the facts of life does not make a baby any less of a miracle...

[Rocans]

Wow!...such brilliance Rita! Very witty. Indeed there are many miracles we don't see until we scrutinize the natural mechanisms in life. I hope subsequent readers get the totality of this poem. Wonderful stuff, I particularly liked the line "baptized by Heaven’s tears". Well done.

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you so much, Rocans! I appreciate your kind review. That line was the one that stumped me most...

Ah the nectar of the Vine. Dionysus himself would be pleased with this lovely ode.
