Small

Louie Jerome on Dec 6, 2007

On being small in the great scheme of things.

Small,
I look up to the angry sky,
Rolling, battle ship grey,
Marking the start of another,
Gun metal day.

Small,
A floating bird,
Dancing in the teeth of thunder,
As I watch the show,
Eyes wide with wonder.

Small,
I look around me,
And try to count the leaves,
Jostling, chattering, rustling,
On the breeze.

Small.

This is wonderful Louie. Absolutely wonderful.

I especially love this verse:

A floating bird,
Dancing in the teeth of thunder,

Incredible.

Best wishes.

Sincerely,
