Gaze upon a narrow tip,
a single hair’s end, the sharp
point of a blade, a microscopic apex where particles dance –
As you cast your towering
shadow over that minute space,
reflect on your place in a
Cosmos so vast, between
ribbons of nebulae, heavenly
spheres, deserts of sand,
cellular lands, gluons, muons,
and Planck’s nadir –
Return your gaze and back
to here.
