Best Speck Poems

People walk in and out, 
Through me, it seems,
My presence barely sensed.
I coil around the pain,
And recoiling I make my way out, 
Heaving relief into the dark.
Around me, night crawls about like a baby, 
The moon, with arms outstretched, 
Cradles me gently, lovingly.
And feeling a...

A singular speck
So rarely noticed
More often removed rather than studied
But here you are, you made it
In view!
All we crave and despise 
'to be looked at'
I see you now, your fleeting time
On the side of the roll top bath I happen to be in
You knowing nothing...

a speck of dust
on the surface of life
that's all we are
that's all we are

i swear
though life may cause u strife
that's all u are 
that's all u are

a tiny atom on a 
dinosaur
that's all we are
that's all we are

a little black dot
on a giant white star
that's...

I am but an insignificant speck, in this expanding, never ending universe                                 ...

Long after she slips into seclusion
where streaks of splendor once plied
crimson lines of love holding off night
caresses enhance final specks of light

Love filters in waiting moments still
before weary days drift off to dream
and I'm left in anticipation of you
to climb into every bit of my...

I'd love to climb a Redwood tree
Three hundred feet or more,

A leviathan, forged in wood
Sat on the forest floor.

A mighty tree, a monument
For centuries it has grown

All this from a tiny seed
That dwelt inside a cone.

Oh but a speck am I
As I stand next to...

There’s a speck of September
under my skin
the first smell of fog
a taste of decay
swallowed with my morning coffee

There’s a speck of September
dancing goosebumps
across my arms
when I wake to darkened hours
as August pages quickly turn

There’s a speck of September
under summers last light
as a vee forms
dark layers...

Warm static pours,
inundates my being;
light of love,
Omniscience.

One with the All;
swimming in the void.
Consciousness I am;
a cosmic seed.

I feel everything, everyone;
everything, everyone is me.
Just a speck in the ether’s;
sliver of something greater than myself; 
I am a lesser god particle.
Then, I remember I have a mortal...

Jesus walked on water it’s true, 
It was Peter that challenged:
“Prove to me Jesus, prove it is you”
Jesus said;”walk over to me” 
But Peter he sunk, 
he sunk in the sea 
The symbolic message of this story is lost 
It’s not about water, 
it is...

"All of us are on a journey and the answers are unspoken" Quote by _Constance La France 


The song I usually sing is one of self-love,
What I wish you'll believe, akin a moon above.
My hands carry identical atoms to yours as well,
As I admire a...

NASA’s Voyager launched
For interplanetary travel
Sending home wild snapshots
Of our solar system and beyond
Giving us an awestruck concept
Of the wide expanse of galaxies
A vastness inconceivable

The irony so laughable
Over the ridiculousness
The infinitesimal triviality
The absurdity of man’s
Outrageously oversized ego
As like a king he parades 
Stomping on the speck
That’s...

A speck
with every speck therein 
a bit of everything 
from everywhere
combined
for one
relative
moment

Great blue sky above
Great blue sea below
Turquoise mornings
And warm sunsets' glow
What more could one have need for
What else might there be to seek? 
When perception arises to its peak
Then one loses all the words to speak...

I have gained nothing from white supremacy
with singular power, sans The Almighty
My faithful friend with sheets of white
my pal, poised, unpen itself to make things right
How squeaky clean each new beginning?
that borrows from the dead, and those still living
I arrived blank naked and undisguised
my soul...
