I live small

How long does it take, I ask you, how long does it take to realize I am meant to live small.

I live small.

Years ago

I was told

I need to live

Bigger.

You do not live

Big enough.

You will never reach

All the people

You are meant

To reach.

I live small.

I choose small.

This does not mean

I AM small.

It only means

I throw one pebble

At a time

Into the pond,

Watch the ripples,

Am amazed.

I live small,

Throw one pebble

At a time

Watch

The ripples.
