We are surrounded by wonder Saturated by it A glorious sunrise Languid palm trees swaying Beneath the introspective moon The sublime poetry Bled out of a thousand broken souls All laid out on my news feed Day after day after day Social media cheapens it Our whoas become mehs We are deadened to what used to be wonder What brought our ancestors to their knees and tears Is now ignored for notifications and other drivel 5 MIND BLOWING FACTS ABOUT **** *** CLICK 'LIKE' IF YOU LOVE JESUS YOU'LL NEVER LOOK AT KALE THE SAME WAY AGAIN Please. Now wonder takes a new form for me It blossoms when you blink open your eyes As I kiss you awake Wonder is anxiety twitching your lips side to side While you twiddle your fingers. It's your pinkie hooking around mine And your head resting on my shoulder It ebbs and flows in the sway of your hips As we waltz to your Spotify playlist It shines in your eyes Pleading with me for calm When my temper flares It lurks In your smile In your snore In your snort And a thousand other quirks That you dismiss as annoying Let the trinkets of nature and man mold over Let social media lay waste to meaningful interaction You encapsulate wonder fully.

To my geisha. Thank you for giving me brand new eyes.
