"Searching for Miracles" Poetry & Photography by Cristina M. R. Norcross



Searching for Miracles

There is a holy tree inside you
where leaves blanket the earth –
where silken petals fly and hover
around your thoughts,
traveling like perfume
on the wind.
This is where you should pray.

A golden, threaded, light source beams
from roots –
to the tip of your violet head.
Eyes seeing for the first time
that this is who you are.
Here – now –
this is who you are.
Why have you come?
What are you waiting for?

Beautiful, both poem and photo. Lovely blending of the two.

Thank you so much, Chila! I have been enjoying the synthesis of photography and poetry lately. Photography is fast becoming one of my new passions.
