unwitting tiny wave

 

many years of my life, i have felt t’if i was but a

tiny wave in the grandness of the sea, and storm

after storm would develop, arise in the middle

of its vastness when then it would roll ominously

onto shore, with tiny me enmeshed, when then

it would crash violently upon promontory of rock

where tera-firma begins and the ocean ends

 

this, symbolically, is life and how my life will most

likely resume. we all begin as tiny ripples in the

sea, forming from stardust that fell from out in

space, and we all will ride the larger wave of life

as it will continue to crash onto the rocks on shore

 

as i recognize this reality, i will embrace all that is

within the realms of my being, my heart, and so

I shall gather all these moments, wallow in their

Presence and place them in the cornucopia of life

then trudge on forward with the spirit of hope

and the heart of love, wishing for all to do the same…
