The Water, The Oil, The Travel

i am but the
grain of sand
that glows to the glory
of a sunrise and
warms at the promise of
quiet sunsets.

i am but the
drop of water
that mingles and frolicks,
always praying, always knowing
that the day
of Re-joining shall
come.

i am but the
speck of time
caught loosely in
colosal space,
slipping, morphing
(still sturdy)
in the
wilderness of
change.

i was but the
breath of life
living too much,
feeling too little -
knowing too quickly,
and
acting just right.

This one is simply beautiful,

"i am but the
grain of sand
that glows to the glory
of a sunrise and
warms at the promise of
quiet sunsets."

This one speaks of realization very well.

"i was but the
breath of life
living too much,
feeling too little -
knowing too quickly,
and
acting just right."

Interesting how you say (still sturdy). I feel discombobulated (sp?) during this stanza. However, it still seems to fit. Maybe we are safe and sturdy while we float in a sense of chaos. Who knows?

Err.... it's becoming a bit too self-conscious. A bit to clever, just too "right" for it to have the ring of truth. Sorry about that.

.:A:. - Thanks.

stan laurel - Not really chaos as much as knowing oneself well enough despite where we float. To be comfortable in the unstructured.
