Miracles

Long ago
I lost belief
As every miracle
Turned to science,
Happenstance
Or the yin yang wheel of life
 
As language grew
So I knew
The fantasy of Santa, elves & fairies
And why they skipped my home each year
Their magic was not real
Yet I knelt in prayer each day
Asking for a miracle—
Miracles of speech & survival
Miracles of kindness & forgiveness  
Those Prayers misplaced the power—
The strength I found within
To begin Again
 
Yet now I find again a prayer
Released into the chilly air
Not to a god but to the good
The yin yang wheel of life
Reason and capricious happenstance
Prayers for a miracle
Not just ANY miracle
I seek life shared with you Someday
To hear you, once more, say
“__z___,
Yes, I DO love you”
 
Then once again I will believe
in Miracles
