the final- Sea

by Racquel Cervantes

I've written my life
on three-quarters of a page;
my soul and all its folds,
this scrap is all I
need.

I would tell you [my] contents,
but do the words
even matter?

Instead, I will hand a single
candle to a stranger walking past.
A final remembrance of my spirit;
its small existence in a
sea of immensity.

Ebbing and flowing;
little tea lights, pulsing
through darkness.

...raquel, what a delight of words. i love the movement of my mind/spirit/soul[if you will]. a quick dab to paint this scope of the landscape o' Universe. clap, clap, clap.
