Heaving Mountains on Still Days

Heaving Mountains on Still Days

When time lapses

into a single

collapsed moment ..

And the world

stands cautious for

a microsecond ..

I might find myself

wondering

if any of these small,

smooth, polished

stones and pebbles

you once gave to me

are likely to

ripple any less when

tossed into some

vast ocean than let’s

just say, their much

greater counterparts,

in some iconic

fountain or another

somewhere ..

Not to mention all

these huge and much

heavier mountains,

I am still left here to wield ..

Yes, the whole world can be holding its breath, like during the past few days, and yet the routine stuff and thoughts of our lives goes on as usual. A curious juxtaposition (is that the right word? :)

[Neville]

there are no wrong words in my book on my watch so that'll do nicely .. Neville
