Glimpse
It is through the finest of movements
That the artist creates a masterpiece,
The brush and palette delicately worked,
And the composition appears.
It is in the patience and poise
Of the dancer that the flow of freedom
Is given grace by the delicate turn
Of practiced steps.
The hands and heart of the skilled worker
Combine to fashion and form,
To sculpt and shape, as beauty
Emerges through toil and tears.
And it is in the momentary blink of the camera’s lens
That the mundane and missable magic
Of the ordinary is captured and transformed,
And the story of our lives immortalised.
So too is the world restored,
Not in grand gesture
Nor through accusation and reproach
But through moments of tenderness,
Disarming words of welcome,
Gifts of kindness,
The embrace of forgiving arms.
And we glimpse a kingdom come.
