beauty in the sky

the small

       myopic 

       views

                               the close looks 

the thin 

      vaporous

      whim

small, subtle, overlooked and temporal

a wave of the hand, a brushstroke

against a mottled plain

of trees

    sky

      pond

of large

     breathtaking

     muted tones

god exists in both:

the small, subtle, overlooked and temporal

the wide expanse that opens ever more

caught up with the bigness of life

its ever changing scale

often lost in its future

the goals that bring us there

the minute

the detail

the frail

of which there are thousands 

upon millions

seem unimportant

but through the smallness

                                          bigness

close looks

                    wide horizons

frailty 

               strength

beauty in the sky
