First -
Leave yourself,
Go beyond,
Sky high.
Looking down,
See the wealth.
Every stream,
Every pond,
Every ocean,
Every land mass,
And the masses
Like grasses
In a child's garden.
One round playground
Of life.
Second -
Come back down
Past the stream,
Past the pond,
Beyond the wealth
Of the world
And yourself.
Nestle in this garden,
Snug. Near.
So close that the only masses
Are the grasses,
Every blade in focus.
An oak is
Hardly taller,
Nor stronger,
Nor its shadow longer
From here.
Third -
Hardest,
Cunningest -
Alternate your view
Between the two.
(2013 - inspired by Jean Paul Richter)
