A Grain Of Sand Poem by ENOCH JOHN

A Grain Of Sand

Rating: 5.0


alone,
in the monumental scheme of things
i sit
on the beach.

Perhaps unimportant,
Like a polished pebble,
or even a solitary grain of sand.

probably
i mightn't count for much
in the monumental scheme of things

in this vast universe
where hang like cherries of a tree
in a vast oval sky,

multitudinous stars,
and earth,
being just one of them.

The interplay between the vastness of universe and creations is amazing. Though unseemingly such minute things can be unimportant but can be otherwise too leading to a fruitful presence......10/10 Best Wishes Sameer
