A Speck

A Speck

I walk down the street,
See what I know,
The world in front of me,
Feeling well and tall,

A squirrel climbs a tree,
A child runs around,
Mosquitoes, flies, bees,
Some ants on the ground,

I stop and stand back,
Garnering a better perspective,
Of the world I know,
Feeling confident and important,

I then gaze about the stars,
Unable to comprehend the distance,
Unable to understand the size,
Feeling small in the process,

I look down from a plane,
Little dots moving about,
The world I know,
The world that is not,

A speck on this earth,
A speck in this life,
Unable to comprehend the little dot that I am,
Unable to understand the world that is not.
