Sometimes
I need
the quiet of starlight
the twinkling of stars
to remind me
how vast and enduring
our universe is
and I am
only one small grain
in our great cosmos.
This is a free verse poem. If you look carefully you'll see it is only one sentence long. Is this a "worthy" poem? I don't know. Are the line breaks in the best places? I don't know. Is this poem "Done"? Probably not. I'm going to have to sit with this poem a while longer to find out what it wants to be. But for now I'm willing to share these few words with you because sometimes I think it is good to remember each of us is unique but we are all apart of something much greater than ourselves. I don't have a poetry challenge for you today except to suggest that poetry is a way to capture your thoughts and share them with others. Have a great day thinking.
Amen.
ReplyDeletePsalm 8 says this really well!
ReplyDeleteCarol,
DeleteThis is getting interesting. I collect Bibles as well as dictionaries. I could have picked any one of a dozen to read Psalm 8 from, but the book I picked was THE WOMAN'S DEVOTIONAL BIBLE, and now I learn that you are published with devotions in this book. I love learning that about you.
Blessings, dear friend.
Joy,
ReplyDeleteEnjoy further thinking on this one. It is a reminder we all need to hear!
Linda,
DeleteIt must have been something in the cosmos, several of the other Poetry Friday poems were about moonlight.
