wonders of the world

have you
ever
wondered
if
at sunset
the sun
would
return
on the
morrow

have you ever
wondered
what it must
have been
like
as the world
was borne
mountains
rising
steaming
from
through
in
primordial
mist

have
you
ever
wondered
how long
your shadow
can stretch
as the
narrowing
day casts
oblique
darkness
'cross
the new
mown
scenting
grass

have
you

have
you
ever

really

I
did
tonight

I
one
dared

Mark J. Wood
yes, I once dared: I was 8ight-years-old and the council maisonette (we were posh so didn't call it a flat) stamped on the wonder. Eventually, I wandered to where there was no official stamp. By then, though, my wonder had wandered.

Thanks for the reminder.

Mark.
