It’s Easy to Miss a Miracle
It’s easy to miss
a miracle,
like a moment
of unbidden grace
it arrives unannounced,
dropping into your life
like soft, spring rain,
brushing your cheek with
a tender kiss,
not asking to be
the star,
just a miracle so quiet
you might miss
it altogether
save for the subtle shift
in the air suddenly imbued
with a taste so sublime
you might think
it was spiced
with nectar from the heavens,
that taste, that moment
so rare,
is a miracle just for you.
