Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

A Speck of Dust

take
a deep
breath

think how
very little
this will matter
in the
grand scheme
of things

when one day
as death comes
to claim you
you’ll be
well on your way
to eternity

Caren Krutsinger February 5, 2020 at 5:06 PM "I never did mind the little things" - from a movie that had such a contrast. This is what your poem reminded me of. Line Gauthier February 5, 2020 at 7:49 PM Thanks for your much appreciated visit and comment, Caren.

Timothy Mcguire January 28, 2020 at 4:13 PM This is the greatest lesson ever spoken. I try to live my life this way and see what is really important. So to all out there don't hesitate to tell your friends and loves that you love them. Line Gauthier January 28, 2020 at 10:16 PM Absolutely the best way to live life to the max and with no regrets.

Gershon Wolf January 27, 2020 at 10:46 PM Absolutely great advice! We all should remember to count to 100... As a Sage once wrote, "Be very, very humble; for the hope of man is but the worm." Happiness and Light, Gershon Line Gauthier January 27, 2020 at 11:19 PM Thanks for your much appreciated visit and comment, Gershon.

Jean Bush January 27, 2020 at 4:55 PM How very true. The old saying: "This, too, shall pass." is apt here. Line Gauthier January 27, 2020 at 6:09 PM Thanks for your much appreciated visit and comment, Jean.
