fingertips

3/14/19

everything is so much smaller now

than when i was young

places i lived, spent time in

magical clubhouses and creeks in the woods

they were huge to me 

when in reality my entire world

everything i was surrounded by

was so incredibly small

unimportant in the grand scheme of things

seeing those old places again, revisiting faded memories

makes you realize exactly how much time has passed

and how the magic has seamlessly slipped 

from your fingertips

Poetical thoughts to provoke the mind - though everything is relevant. Perhaps we could all do well to remember our tiny place in the Universe. We’re not the center of the world. We’re just billion-year-old stardust, orbiting a burning ball of gas in the middle of empty space, with no beginning, and no end. and here we are - just a fingertip away from each other! Loved it ... :-)
