Three Word Wednesday



insignificant
as a grain of sand
am i in this godless world

i watch the ants frantically
storing up treasures
desperate to stave off
the inevitable

the desert
divulges her secret
dust to dust

  2. I suppose you could try rubbing your legs together or whatever ...might be a kafakaesque experience for you!

  3. Ants wherever they are are fine examples of cooperation. The desert has no way to foil their noble intentions! Nicely Rallentanda!

    We are all are grains of sand. Seemingly insignificant. Or, shifting it sideways slightly, a snowflake is a lightweight nothing but an avalanche is just many snowflakes pulling together.

  6. Beautiful words. I like how you express - 'the desert divulges her secret, dust to dust'
