(for Cathy)
It is remarkable: fragile wings beat air;
send ripples resounding through time & space;
help create events around the earth:
a future altered by a butterfly's wing.
It is all connected: each moment a birth;
each breath a reason for soul to sing.
Fragile beauty of spider's webb'd lace
lends meaning to an existence otherwise bare:
as delicate colors of flower's blooms;
& variant hues of wind-blown grass...
All-That -Is revealed in empty rooms
where only dust motes randomly pass
through beams of light. It is not for naught.
Each particle reflects God's secret thought.

Knock-out, Hugh. Serene, beautifully written and a fine reminder that it is the small things that compose the fabric of this life, together making the 'big' things... excellent. t x
A small miracle written here Hugh, such a soft and delicate write, it was a pleasure to taste. Delicious. Love Ernestine XXX
Delicious! A great reminder to pay attention to the small stuff - especially us poets, who are so concerned with the abstract and the bigger picture. Hugs Anna xxx
What a beautiful poem. I enjoyed the thought of something small making a big difference. Thank you for reminding us all. Whitedove.
