title: The Grand “Aha!” by John Fischer
It can happen in a glance, from the corner of an eye.
Or flash across the canopy of a star-studded sky.
It can hide inside the childlike caverns of the mind
Over a broken date with the Maker of time.
You can miss it in the shadows, and then find it again
In the soft warm fold of a baby’s new skin.
It can happen in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye,
Or in the final laps a runner’s last try.
It’s the kiss in the corner of a coy mother’s mouth.
It’s the question that makes a flock of geese fly south.
It’s the moment the heavens pull back time
To reveal a peek at the grand design.
It’s a shaft of light from a golden sky
That strips the Creator of His alibi.
It’s when the divine comes down to earth,
And gives us an inkling of what we are worth.
It’s the way we look in a bride’s new dress.
It’s the way we know what we can’t confess.
It’s in the heart of the smallest child,
And makes us want to run free and wild.
It is hidden in the veins of the smallest leaf,
Yet able to cross the gulf of unbelief.
Out of the shadows of a dream you once saw—
Glimpsed in a moment: It’s the Grand “Aha!”
