Guess What?!

A poem about wonder.

This piece explores the strange joy of realizing that the world is more alive, beautiful, and astonishing than we often remember.

Rather than trying to explain wonder, it tries to enact it.

• To point.
• To grin.
• To tug gently at your sleeve and say:

look.

This poem is connected to a part of me that experiences delight very intensely–my Inner Child.

Not because the moment itself is always large. But because sometimes something tiny suddenly opens and reveals an absurd amount of beauty underneath it.

I think children often know this instinctively.

They notice things adults learn to ignore.

• Textures.
• Colors.
• Clouds.
• Little discoveries.

This poem came from wanting to speak from that place.

Not innocence exactly.

More like permission. Permission to let delight matter.

One of my favorite moments is:

• “Isn't it wild
• that everything is…”

because I think there are experiences that become impossible to describe once you look directly at them.

Eventually language gives up and all that remains is amazement.

And maybe that is enough.

I wanted the ending to feel communal.

Not:

I found something.

But:

• Come here.
• Look at this.
• I'm glad we get to see it together.
