Gary Smith Poet Rhyme

I Am But a Speck

Below me sweeps a thousand feet
Of air and nothing more,
Precipices fall away
Yet stir me to the core.

Yawning chasms, with evil gape
Scare a mortal soul,
Oh, but is there elsewhere
A spirit feels so whole. 

In that moment there I stood
Heaven, surely found.
I am but a speck upon this earth,
High above the ground.
