The Grander Scale of Things


An ocean 

full of unknown life

is not as mysterious

as the thoughts that can run through a mind.

 

A grand Oak tree,

that has grown for centuries,

is not as colossal as the family

that will use the wood to make a home.

 

A mountain is not as 

towering

as the choices we've made

that we seem to cling to.

 

A desert that stretches forever

is still not as vast

as the possibilities that 

we call life choices.

 

All the stars in the sky

are immeasurable, 

yet so are all of the feelings

one word could spark.

 

In the world there are 

seven billion people.

One is nothing compared.

Yet you are everything.
