A Wonder that Doubled

1
The tiny pink fingers,
the twinkly toes.
Oh, all I want,
is to hold them close.

I wonder at the wonder,
that has entered my life again.
Are they two tears of happiness ?
or a shower of refreshing rain.

Half a world away they lie,
akin to a mirage in the heat.
If I could run to them, I would,
even barefoot on a pebbled street.

I hold on to the tiny ray,
hoping the mirage is an oasis.
Two flowers in full bloom,
Poetic beauty washing over distress.

If love is this earth,
then the whole universe will I give.
Two pearls in an oyster.
The times that now I will relive.

The melody that the birds sing,
the sky that is bluer than blue.
The hearts that beat a song divine,
Joy in this world is indeed true.
