We all have heard the saying that we are but a speck of dirt when compared to god the universe, and time, but there are moments when the truth comes about that living is important that loves strength is pure, when time could be useless to us and the wind of the heavens comes cleansing our pain for a days reunion of peace. And we as the specks become mountains of hope that reach to the stars beckoning all to follow, that we become more than simple composites of molecules electrons, and DNA floating in bones and skin, that our purity released for all others to view is our greatest pleasure and our grandest gift. That we rise above mear duldrum and find that second to grasp becomming years later when we see all of our hopes, which we then tell in stories, poetic waves of soulfull memories and prose meant to lift hearts, which then we find that we are not just mear puppets for everyday existance or other peoples uses, that god, or what you may keep looks and smiles, gladens his heart to find that the specks have become more than them selves. And when all is done, the wind shall come lifting these words, feelings and love to the universe for all to have. |

Michael G. Very lovely piece from your heart. I've often thought of myself as a rain drop in the ocean, just haven't figured out how to put those words together yet. You've captured it well. |
