The Wonder of You

The Wonder of You was written in the summer of 2020 – a time when I couldn’t bring myself to write anything at all. Stuck in a creative rut of sorts with no way out, I lay in bed and thought of all the many things that made me indescribably happy. Then, I sat in front of my laptop and channelled all of that love into this poem, which fills me with delight even today.

I hope the happiness I felt while writing this touches your heart, dear reader.

If the light of the sun sought solace in the heart of one
who loves with no restraint, surely it’d find a home
in the warmth of your love, for the softness of your smile
would surely bid it to stay for a while.

And would the sun not offer to love you in secret?
Would the moon not shine upon only you in earnest?
Would the stars not offer to paint you in silvers and blues?
Would the sky not dye its canvas in your gentle hues?
Would dwindling night not becoming morning light
at the sound of your lovely voice?

Would all of nature not love you with such conviction as I?
For thou art a wonder to behold, golden in mine eye.
