The Unexpected
As a vase of violets devoid of roots
Decorating antiques, such a nonchalant nosegay
Such is the prize afforded discerning eyes
He considered,
More fruit and much fairer
Than expected,
And full of this whim
Fancifully motivating him
Was an appreciation for God's construction
A Love of nature's rarity
And a befuddlement over man's
Appreciative scarcity,
He let go a lonely tear,
Most gratefully...
A blessing for a true wanderer
By each bright green morn
By the provocative solitude
In which he alone
Poured poetry cradled
By the bright, but ever-unexpected
Perfection of God's
Unlimited supply
Of striking reflection
Over such, as a vase of violets
Or the nonchalance found
In God's elegant manner
Of delivering
The unexpected...
Tony Taylor

Theย last four lines jumped out at me as soon as I read them:
'Or the nonchalance found
In God's elegant manner

I don't know exactly why yet but they made me start to think about just random happenings in my life and the others around me. I really enjoyed this one. I believe I'll be reading it a few more times and pondering some of what it's made me think about.ย Beautiful pen :)ย

My Dear Brother Poet Tony,
How many never stop to smell the sweet aromas of the blossoming roses? ย How many never absorb the purest azure blue of the skies? ย How many sit on a beach and have never been mesmerized by the rhythmic timpani of each arriving wave? ย How many have never heard the beautiful sounds of a babblingย brook? ย How many breath in the air, and can discern winter's wondrous redolence, or spring's fragrant promise of perfumed atmosphere? ย As usual, one can always expect the unexpected,ย from God's messenger, "His Angel", Tony Taylor.
Peace, Love and Rockets,
Larry xxx
