The image here may or may not be real. It is a striking image, real or not. Here's what strikes me:
Our human world is just a little boat
Upon a vast World of Nature,
Unseen, for the most part.
We float upon the World
We cannot see,
Or truly know.
The mystery of that World
Supports us
Nonetheless.

More of a submerged submarine than a boat floating on the surface.
ReplyDeleteWe are immersed in the Natural world, an intimate part of the whole of the web of life.
We only pretend we float above it.
Our world is
ReplyDeleteAs the fragile junk ship
Bobbing in the cosmic ocean
In these unfathomable depths
Lurk Goliaths
Nary seen nor felt
But for the faintest ripples
Yet by those ripples
We can come to know
Their majesty
Then also!
Peering so into the water
We see ourselves
We find that
The secrets of the cosmos
And our own secrets
Are one in the same
The greatest story
Told in
The faintest ripples
