THE SPOT

A peek at perfection
is what I need.

A glimpse of heaven
to fill my soul.

The hot sun
to fulfill my yearnings.

It’s here for me
in this one spot.

BUT A DOT

BUT A DOT

We are but a dot.

A spot on earth’s surface.

Our importance over-exagerrated.

Our size magnified over time.

Take a step back.

Measure our scope and reach.

Compared to the universe.

Compared to the planets and stars.

Compared to the sun.

Understand your importance.

Understand your insignificance,

In the scheme of life.

HIS PLACE

The sun begins to set.
There are scurrying sounds
as the animals prepare for the night.
But the old elephant stands in his place.
He doesn’t need to move.
He has everything he needs
right in front of him.
He keeps a watchful eye
on the other animals.
But he stands in his place.

BRIGHT SPOT IN THE DARKNESS

BRIGHT SPOT IN THE DARKNESS

Amidst the raging waves of the oceans,
thrashing against the jagged rocks,
sit pretty red houses on their tall sticks,
prepared to weather the worst storms and
whatever nature might throw them.
Stand strong!
