Look,

The fire,

The water,

The land,

And light.

All on my wrist.

Yet I am of man.

I have flaws. 

Number them plenty!

Yet the earth is on my wrist.

Am I worthy of such a burden. 

Because I am of man and woman.

May you never forget the woman. 

 For which we would never be here. 

Not a being on earth's surface, but stardust.

Now here we are.

You and me. 

With the earth on my wrist.

Since when was i worthy of such weight?

But here i am bearing it.

is that simple?

I wrote this piece based off random thoughts i had, as most poems come from random thoughts, at least for me.
