because i am so small,
practically particulate,
in an ocean of lives,
in a universe full of time and space,
i am just one breathing, thinking thing.

my struggle is just one,
my smile is just a flash among many,
my pain, my joy, my fleeting consequence..
i am a passerby in the grand scheme,
and each solitary soul i meet,
is both exactly the same, and astoundingly different,
on their own way, in their own time,
with their own little fragile heart
and breakable soul,
a tiny ripple, in a cohesive wave,
in an expansive space,
on such a very small place
hung amid uncountable stars.
