the things of earth

the things of earth

there's a place you can go in the communion of friends
where all things momentarily fade.
There is nothing left but spirit and flesh.
The water, the sand, the sky -
even the morning disappears.

The breadth of the ocean is a mere stone's throw,
it's depth but a tea cup,
and a grain of sand contains all there is to know.
