The Power Within

to feel as small as a grain of sand
that still carries
the stillness and tenacity
from lonely mountain tops;
to feel as gentle as a faint ripple
that ruffles the top
of a lake of lapis lazuli,
fed by waters from mighty rivers;
to feel as light as the flowing breeze
that brings and takes with it,
the lingering fragrance
of  tart sea salt and sweet jasmine;
to feel as vibrant as a spark in the dark
that holds within it
the ancient, impassioned fires
of a thousand suns;
to feel the vortex of power
flowing in every creation,
large or small,
is to flow with and surrender
to the magnificent seed
of survival and connection -
the silent power
of the universe within.
