Insignificant
April 29, 2016
I live on this earth.
My feet rest on this ground.
My eyes are graced
With the sights of this world.
I see tiny fireflies
I see the freckles on my skin
I see lights in the harbour
Shivering with the gentle waves
I see vast skies
I see looming mountains
I see oceans on the horizon
And it humbles me completely.
I cannot decide if knowing
How small I really am
Comforts me or
?Terrifies me.
