If Realize
were a perfume
it would be subtle
some might say dull
as though you could
enter or leave a room
and no one would
noticebut oh what fun
its sister scent
The Aha Moment
is having
all bursts of light
and sparkling
conception
you see her there
surrounded
by titillated
admirersCan we even glimpse
that other cousin
Epiphany?
all distant incense
and seizures
of other-worldly
Knowingness
quickly bored, recently
departedSuch comets leave
exhausting effluvium
and make one think
no, perhaps Realize
is good
sensible
analytical
even if rather
dullThen comes Wonder
to whisper in your ear
she leaves you breathless
with her strange perfume
no poor relation, this–
you follow her,
completely alive
unknowing but
now knowing
(Revelation)
“realize“
I really enjoyed this….the scent of discovery leading to the true essence of life.
Thank you! Lovely description 🙂
“Wonder to whisper in your ear” beautifully composed!
Unbelievable poem. WONDER is the key & I’ve been on the scent for awhile.
Wow, beautiful. Really, really beautiful. Write a book of poetry and I’ll buy it. Promise.
(blush) Thank you… if I can keep from reverting back to type and composing limericks… 😂
