tiny things 3

I shall write of tiny things

Like the conch shell that fits in my palm into which the ocean leaps

Like the flame at the end of a match 
the second before it swallows a forest  

Like the pollen grain of a sunflower 
That blooms into a field

Like a grain of sand pressed into a footprint 
on an endless shoreline 

Like the snowflake at the end of a pine branch 
that melts into the river below

Like this tear drop in the corner of my eye
That holds the weight of your passing

-------

Little things that hold big things
Little things that are part of big things 


Like the first stroke of the pen
In a letter to you

Like a grain of sand pressed into a footprint 
on an endless shoreline 

Like the snowflake at the end of a pine branch 
that melts into the river below

Like the rock shot from a black hole 
colliding, merging to solidify into Earth 

Like the primoridal rock shot from a black hole 
Colliding, merging to solidify into Earth
