There is an awe-some place on Life’s road map called Wonderment.
Its location is marked by an invisible shiny star of excitement.
You will find it unexpectedly,
Hidden in the barren valley of Everyday,
Tucked between the Mountains of Repetition and Mundane.
It will burst out of the Ordinary
Like the Green Flash on Captiva Island and the sparkle of fireflies on a summer’s eve.
You will be stunned when Wonderment suddenly appears on the horizon.
Your feet will be frozen to the ground by disbelief and its breathless beauty.
Your Soul will run ahead as your heart pounds, “Wait for me!”
When the sun slowly sets on the astonishing scene,
You will feel different.
Joyous
Grateful
Able to travel a little further on the long, winding highway of Life,
Refueled.
Keep traveling.
Another Wonderment may be somewhere around the next bend.
Wonderment, I love that word. It is perfect.
I agree with Linda's comment - you captured the feeling of Wonder that we all long for! I love the "barren valley of Everyday and the Mountains of Repetition and Mundane". Very creative, Jan! I love this one.
