I Wonder!

This world's a book of billions of stories,

Many of which may never be read:

Of all the pain, and all the glories,

And all that ever was done and said.

So amazing the tales of every kind!

I wonder what the author had in mind!

An anthology of lines in endless poetry,

Of awesome depth and flawless rhyme,

That have been penned through all of history,

And will be written till the end of time.

Such wondrous verse so subtly defined!

I wonder what the poet had in mind!

A magna opera of masterpiece creation,

So prodigious and beyond compare;

How awesome is the revelation

To the seeker who sees it everywhere!

Is everywhere so hard to find?

I wonder what the artist had in mind!

The designer's wisdom in the work displayed;

The percipience and the artistry:

Such amazing beauty, so well arrayed;

How astounding is this mystery!

Past, present and future, eternally divined:

I wonder what the creator had in mind!
