What is this vastness I feel,
here on the verandah,
On this tiny patch of
ancient earth
My tiny being,
taking in this scene,
This dark sky, this tree,
This duck grazing on
the lawn below?
And has this feeling come ,
with a single thought, impulse or act?
To put it plainly, it feels like
wild chaotic life held together,
In a travellers bundle on a stick –
The universe in a single moment,
gloriously simple.
