Immense
Immense
To watch in awe
The forest floor,
The saplings rise
With love in your eyes.
And when we kiss
Amongst all this
The creatures that crawl
Seem so small.
A beetle, tiny
On nettles, spiny,
Ne'er a sting
For such a little thing.
An ant or two
For a hungry shrew,
Wouldst be a feast
For a miniscule beast.
But seeds asleep
In forests deep
May never be
A mighty tree,
To love and part
With a broken heart
Is so intense
It seems immense.
