"Something Big" by Cleo Wade
I stopped searching
for things
things I thought
should belong to me
I started sitting
in gratitude
for what surrounded me
the falling leaves, the flowers
the break in the sidewalk
the endless sky, moody and magnificent
these forces of nature,
remind me I am one too
with relief, I release the small stuff
very little belongs to me
and I belong
to something big.
