Turn Around

How many times
have you turned around
looked back
seen the magnificent
in the microscopic
heard the music accompanied with every moment
magnified into the sensational serendipity
of the seemingly simple?

Have you wondered
when you walked on water
when birds showed off their strut or their streamline precision
when nests reminded you of your own need to rest?
Have you stopped
to fall on your knees
bowed low
prayed to the ground
you stand on
with nose breathing in the scent
and sediment of something sacred
and thanked yourself for all the mistakes, bruised knees, steps backwards, broken hips and inches forwards that led you to this very place?

Did you?
Or did you keep walking on?
