tiny things 5

I shall write of tiny things

like the conch that fits in my palm, 
into which the ocean longs to leap

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

like the pollen of a sunflower,
powdery dust that blossoms into a field

like a grain of sand pressed into a footprint,
along an endless shoreline 

like the snowflake at the end of a branch, 
gathering courage to melt into the river

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
