The Ocean In Each Drop

I am an ocean, in a drop, in an ocean.. 
Currents within me stir into motion, 
more than just an emotion - 
the purest of Love. 
In the unfettered centre lies the knowledge
that Heaven is not only above, 
but embedded deep inside. 
Let Love be the guide and it's easy to find. 
Divinity is the connection -
our protection:
no separation when we strip down to this thread of light that shines through us all. 
It can take only one to fall to drag us down. 
But it can take only one to rise to lift us up.. 
Our best *can* be good enough.
When we are willing to see our common innocence.. 
When we no longer take offence to each other's insufficience. 
Yes, patience, my fellow Creators,
we will arrive. 
Forgiveness, my fellow travellers, 
we do deserve to survive.. 
Compassion, my fellow survivors, 
we are all alive
inside one another. 
We only need look to see.. 
The ocean, in each drop, in the ocean.

Aww, thank you so much.. :) I thought you might like this one. The writing of it was actually sparked by a line in one of yours.. I've flipped lots of times in my opinion of it though, sometimes I really liked it and sometimes I felt it was a bit... something, I don't really know.. Funny how that happens sometimes. Your enjoyment of it though, gives me an extra boost in confidence in the part of me that feels good about it. :)

Wow! So true and profound is your vision into so beautiful poetry! A soul that merges with the ocean will have its oceanic flair! Nature in its utmost depth and beauty a true mentor for human nature to get aware of what is hidden inside of warmth, depth, love, tolerance, acceptance, forgiveness and all the beauty one can attain if and only if the soul before the eyes is wide open to Nature calls and lessons! So pleased to read your amazing poetry, Sara! My deepest regards and blessings.
