Think Trickles Poem by RIC BASTASA

if u think in trickles
it will just be trickles

thoughts trickling like
a trick
the mind tricks itself
on the trick of
the trickles

think about a rush of
the waters of the rain

think about a mountain
a river
an ocean

think about how wide
can this space be
how high can the sky be
how deep
can this earth be

think about you as a
speck of dust
on this universal hollowness

all things trying to fill
up this vast emptiness

to no avail,
think about you as another
insignificant atom
vibrating in random
with the rest
of this molecular world
always in flux
changing and shifting
and moving

now, u r as humble
as the leaf about to fall
from a twig

now you are as
weak as a fading sun
as gentle as the
waning moon

as silent as the star
about to die
