Even the Smallest Ants Cast Long Shadows
Even The Smallest Ants Cast Long Shadows
In a world so vast that the sky does grasp,
With not even the slightest sounded rasp,
There are those that some see as beauty so mighty,
And there are things that others see as the true Aphrodite,
Yet those with eyes not shallow set,
Do come with a vision gladly met,
And with it a knowing so loving and calm,
That gives them no air of qualm,
They see around them a world so broad,
That others do hide and make a fraud,
From the monuments of Egyptian sands,
To the ashen bridges of modern lands,
And to the Redwood of the West,
Or the shrubs that grew their best,
There is a common theme,
That is shown in all worlds’ real or dream,
Even the smallest ants cast long shadows,
And around them light always glows,
For no matter the size or shape of the thing,
A single trait does always cling,
For each and every thing around,
Does have a tale to tell abound.
