translated
to voice
chained
to what
these limited eyes
know, the universe
scaled to a drop of water
on a leaf
in a summer storm
so many drops
to notice
why this one
balanced on the tip
of one leaf
among many wet leaves
speaks
as if it has significance
and brings to mind
a similar balance
on the verge of falling
my bones know
truth in transience
calls in a whisper
magnified to a shout
in my ears
because I noticed
and I will hum
this knowing
in my own process
a release
from some holding edge
among so many similar falls
the letting go
unnoticed
but remarked on later
it speaks volumes for how the smallest things that go unnoticed become significant to our journey when we finally do. and…should we fail to notice, they sneak up on us…and the small is no longer small…it has friends…it becomes huge.
LOVE it! Thank you!

The theme of wonder continues. In fact, there is wonder in all that exists, and you capture this so well.
Nelle, thank you–there is wonder, and it is dazzling. I see it in your writing, as well.
