The Extraordinary Ordinary
It is a beautiful scene, seen through ordinary eyes
That which you cast your sight upon
Dawn breaking on the horizon
The stars twinkling in the night sky
Rolling fields in the summer sun
Raindrops racing down the window
Snowflakes gliding onto a land of white
Flowers gently swaying in full bloom
A child’s sweet smile
A lonely tear rolling down the cheek of the sad
The grace of a female
The strength of a male
The power of an engine
The flames of the fire
The waves of the wild sea
The clouds in the sky
A love eternal
Seen through the eyes of the ordinary
Gasp at the extraordinary
