Tiny
As in those nagging thoughts that bounce against my astral body
Annoying mosquitoes
Trying to get in
Trying to taste blood
Sometimes succeeding
Tiny thoughts requiring vigilance and resolve.
Tiny
As in those moments of pure bliss
Eating warm apple pie
In the sun
A good book on my lap
Tiny moments of gratitude
Tiny
As in the little people
That hide things just out of sight
Or tease me with their fleeting shadows
Reminding me that all that there is
Is not all visible
Tiny people creating magic and mischief.
Tiny
As in me
Alone in this big sky
This universe
This dust mote of an existence
Tiny for this briefest of lives.
