Universal Measure
Every grain of sand
counted
‘till time runs out …
that’s how many
Every star
counted
‘till shadows end …
that’s how vast
Every living thing
counted
‘till home they come …
that’s how loved.

and found to be
miles away
from the truth
but I digress ... :)

I was torn between Matthew 6:26 and Like 12:7. Than asked myself why I felt I had to choose between the two.
This is solidly grounding in its certainty, Josh.

Just catching up :)) somewhat belatedly. All the best for 2020, Ahavati. Best regards, Josh.

I loved this poem but I find the last stanza more of a difficulty because I can't see it as true - but then that's just me :-)
