Ants In The Garden


Who are you?
Who am I?
But two ants in the garden,
On one planet revolving,
In one solar system, 
In a single galaxy,
Of who knows how many.
I know the grief seems huge
So does the pebble to the ant,
But the ant does not know
How small it is,
But only how large 
Everything else seems.
Your grief does matter
I'm not belittling it
I'm showing you 
There is more beyond this
Beauty beyond the darkness 
Hope in the night

So who are you?
And who am I?
But two ants 
In the garden?
