How important am I
against the earth
and the sky?

What is this being
within the endless worlds
of the great cosmic expanse?

Small.
Limited.
Defined by time.

Waking and sleeping
with the moving cycles
that define existence.

Born.
Death.
History.
Dust.

And yet!

For all this infinitesimalness,
I am at the centre of it all,
contemplating its many forms.

For each “I” is a centre in looking
out and wondering why, and
bringing importance to the
earth and the sky.
