Endless

Saxon Crow

There is a tiny hamlet

Sitting in a glen

Next to a village 

On an eastern bend

A town is around the corner

And if you strain to see

A city can be seen by night

In a county far away

The country that protects the land

Is on a continent so large

Attached to the rump of a planet

Three orbits away from a sun

The solar system 

Spins ever on

In a galaxy far away

And a universe just holds it snug

To keep for a rainy day 

And this I see in a tiny pebble

I picked up on the shore

By an endless ocean

Like my mind

That just goes on and on

    Lovely writing Saxon. I share your vision of a continuum since first glimpsing the amazing minds of science fiction writers and then to sit before the ocean beneath a blanket of stars and wonder.

    Thank you for sharing and giving me these moments of reflection upon just how tiny we all are but how wonderful we each are.

    So relateable to your dad's post of today too.

      Great read of inner-sight when holding a pebble - -- you have such a good grasp of real poetry Sax which comes from your talented mind.

        Flattery upon flattery. Coming from you Fay that really means a lot. Thank you!
