The Smallest Things Poem by Eric Cockrell

The Smallest Things

Rating: 5.0


the small print
of a cat's paw on
your trembling lips,
stopped the tears,
and the roar of hunger
in the tiny bud opening.
the tongue that gropes
for a dropp of rain...
seed wrapped in dirt,
that sunlight,
and turning set free.
the smallest things,
bring form to shadow.
it is in the smallest things
that we find the immortal!

It's always the little things that we all seem to hold onto. Lovely poetry.
