‘I’m in awe’

'I am in awe'                               timothy r gates, 9/26/2015;5/09/2018

Looking into their eyes,
I recall when I saw
fairies, imps, gnomes, angels,
and God.
Then I listened to the detractors,
they said they knew better.
So important to prove that this romantic,
Peter Pan heart is not fact.
Fact?
Funny, what are called facts,
these change too.
I stopped seeing.
Today, for a moment,
I put on the lenses
of a little friend's unwitting
innocence.
Looking into the heavens,
I find myself beyond faith's and science's declarations.
I am in awe.
Hello, my friends,
fairies, imps, gnomes, angels -- Beholding,
I am in awe.
