It is believed that experiencing awe makes you
More peaceful, happier, more grateful too
It sounds a bit ridiculous to talk about
Being awestruck, it’s the stuff of dreamers, no doubt
Not for people who are practical, who live in reality
The experience of awe seems quite otherworldly..

Awe is not something I had felt much at all
Apart from a few times during travel that I could recall
But this year has so far bestowed upon many including me
More than one opportunity to be
Awestruck at incredible spectacles of the universe within a short span
We’ve directed our gaze upwards, like the earliest of men
Marveled at the spectacular cosmic dance
Grateful to have received a chance
To see the extraordinary in our daily lives
Filling us with emotions difficult to describe..
*
In a world where natural disasters increasingly make news
It is exhilarating to see these breathtaking views
To experience a sense of awe, feel a burst of positive energy
The solar eclipse and the Aurora Borealis have thus captivated me…
