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…
