Infinitesimal..

Infinite universe, and infinitesimal me

No matter who I am, how can my life possibly be

Of any consequence in the time minuscule

That I would occupy on this earth, am I but a fool

To dream dreams that seem incredibly expansive

I am a tiny drop in an ocean, what could I possibly give

Back to this universe that would be unique

In a microscopic part of the world, answers I seek..

*

Because I am so small, I may be bigger than I think

Let me contemplate this a little, let this thought sink

Into my being- what I do has effects

On a minuscule part of the universe, I suspect

If all the deeds of people on this planet

Are summed, the resultant effect

Would be large enough to sway

The pendulum in one or the other way..

*

I am ridiculously small, but still a part

Of something much greater-I take heart

In knowing that what I do is consequential

When multiplied by similar efforts, the result is exponential…
