Mini Verse

The Universe spreads infinite splendour and thrill

I’m just miniscule with a small life time to ‘kill’

One metaphorical bird with one stone a step at a time

With feelings and a little reason rhythm meter and rhyme


When I meet my maker be it God or Charles Darwin

Rest under a Buddha or cross with memory’s carving

I hope that I made a small difference and contribution

A small particle of dust in impermanence’s revolution


Like an oak tree I am made up of atoms and tiny cells

Part of a much grander scheme coming out of my shells
