till
I realized that I was not in it
I was not even in the peripheries of it
Not even beyond the peripheries
I was just a tiny atom of dust
Subject to the forces of man, beast and nature
At the mercy of every wind that blew
Not knowing how to counter them, or stand up to them
Till finally,
I found a resting place beneath a tiny little leaf of a tiny little plant
Visible only to the eyes of my God,
And those who love me...
