Insignificant

Poetic Dan

Yesterday I got hit with an overwhelming feeling



All the times I felt not even worth knowing



An insignificant being, that's not needed that much



Then another feeling came straight after this



Of course I am nothing in a universe of light



That is the point, I get to play with it all in the experience of life



To then return back to the cosmos, as a twinkle in the sky



If today was to be my last, I'd not be asking why



In the darkness we live forever, knowing we expanded the spectrums colour & frequency.



Insignificantly nothing can ever be!

    Well, I'm sure you're a significant poet, even if we feel like ants in the universe. 'Who ya calling an ant?' someone replied to me. lol.

    • Poetic Dan

      I talk a lot that's for sure and as for an ant! We should be so lucky, this spinning rock is one of Infinite amounts. There is a beauty in nothing really counts, but it does. To us 😉

          When i sit by the crashing ocean (not talking about south coast ripples) when i look up to a clear night skies quilt of stars, when i sit upon a small mountain beneath brilliant sunshine or threatening dark clouds..... i feel insignificant. What am i and all my worries, woes, hopes and dreams compared to the magnificence of what i am looking at..... i call that the great leveller...... i know you are sensitive enough to feel it (but i couldn't begin for one moment to think Donald Trump ever felt it). Then i reflect upon just how much joy the world as it is brings to me. How much i have to offer the world. How much i can communicate my thoughts to you Dan and others. You people validate me and we and your family and friends validate you. You and me, us and the rest of the people are not insignificant at all. We are an intelligent intermingling throng of people largely enduring the struggle to survive and feed our loved ones.... and to put a smile on each others faces.
          And you do those things well don't you.... that's not insignificant.

            Lol on really windy days we get big waves!
            As I read your words yesterday I took a breath in and thought I feel every word you said but I'm also happy to be insignificant, because I guess some of the responsibility I take on is never mine in the first place!
            I still wish I help the world in doing what I do but this I my step towards not getting emotionally attached.

            Always appreciate your time & view
            Thanks for being my validation with your truth.

            That darkness may well be there but beyond that darkness is light and that will be there for you Dan just look for that twinkle in the sky and you will know that all will be well.

              Well. The last word was "fine" in my mind because I like a rhyme! Just like your vibe, it is sublime

              Thank you for your endless encouraging will to shine!
