It’s been awhile
Since I wondered.
Wonder is
Something that can’t be heated
In the microwave,
Nor bought on Amazon,
Nor even stored in the pantry
In preparation
For the next pandemic.
No wonder,
Is the thing that finds you
By surprise,
Or so I thought.
But maybe it more easily finds us
When we’re not holding tightly
To our fears,
When we’re letting go
Of what we think we need,
And when we’re just being curious
Like the children we used to be.
