The vista opened up <br />and a tinge of sea breeze <br />wrapped around anemones <br />as trees rustled mighty pleased <br />to feel the air <br />as it travelled far <br />mixed with a tropospheric hush <br />that rushes past <br />as earthly bound it twirls and spins <br />to reach tectonic plates <br />that move as fast <br />as the nails or hair <br />but slower than an unrushed snail <br />as one slides below another <br />giving yet another wrinkle <br />to the earth's crusted face <br />oceans smile with sun's <br />reflected light <br />and clouds swim in pure delight <br />I stood transfixed <br />rooted deeply to the spot <br />as stars swarmed in spirals <br />through the vast expanse of mind <br />inhabited by all mankind. <br />I bowed deeply <br />and spirit rose up to fill <br />all space <br />with all contained <br />in just one corner <br />of Its loving embrace.<br /><br />David Taylor<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/standing-in-the-corner-watching-all-the-stars-go-by/
