into the wonder

 

“into the wonder”

below our feet the molten core of Mother Earth
all around above us the sheltering shield of the van Allen belts

while oceans ripple with the breath of the tides
and colors blush and pulse across the land 

on fin, wing and hoof curved patterns are written 
as timeless migrations continue all over the globe
and countless sparks of life blink on and off

on this dot of space, in this protected womb of life,
within spheres of wonder, i take my next breath

“spheres within spheres”
