Wonder-Smitten
At dawn my wonderment
established tender ties between
me and a towering eucalyptus.
I saw, with awe,
the startling shades
and dancing shapes of its bark.
Then I noticed the wonder
of the very air,
bringing jasmine to my nose,
carrying my singing voice,
and weaving a link between
me and the breathing trees.
Born to the bent of enchantment,
we arrive on earth
smitten with wonder.
My largest wish for you and me:
Open all your eyes again.
