“Extraordinary”

A Poem

Cover art for my poem “Extraordinary:” generated with DeepAI

Maybe extraordinary
Isn't the opposite
Of ordinary

Maybe extraordinary
Is what happens
When the ordinary
Reveals what else
It can become

Because ordinary
Has its own place

Its own beauty
Its own rhythm
Its own beginning

You don't know
The potential
Of something
While it is still
Becoming

You don't know
What a voice can carry
Until it has something
To say

You don't know
What a thought can become
Until someone
Gives it room

You don't know
What a feeling can create
Until someone
Feels it deeply enough
To bring it forward

And sometimes
That's where
The extraordinary lives
