wonder

I've seen shadow rush the mountain
then beat a hasty retreat
countryside that's barren
or lush with beautiful green
saguaro filled with bird holes
or laden with many arms
eagles soaring in the clouds
relationships that harmed

I've seen things that made me wonder
miracles not figured out
myself--full of confidence
or loneliness and doubt 
casualties of marriage
death that came to quick
friends I once thought loyal
disappearing in the mist
