Through Poet's Eyes

Through poet’s eyes
the world comes to focus
on details overlooked,
or passed by in haste.

A poet’s eye sees
that which we tune out,
the detail of the moment,
the wonder in the air.

Do you see
the hand of God
in the craftsman’s wares
and the workman’s toil?

Do you take note
of the fine detail
of an insect’s wing,
or a leaf’s vein?

The poet shows us
wonders of the world
we pass each day
upon our way.

Do you have
what it takes?
