PULSATION

The throbbing, pounding beats 

Of this vast sea of Life 

Transfixed me ;

I espied such a variety 

Of sailing vessels ;

Huge, domineering ships 

Which did tend to 

Overshadow the smaller 

Insignificant skiffs. 

But, after awhile 

It became nebulous 

As to who really 

Dominated whom among 

The overflowing waves 

Of Existence... .

I even noticed some voyagers 

Weary and listless from 

The continuous passage 

Seeking refuge on the 

Few oases of islands 

That they chanced upon 

In their lonely path.

And then, I asked myself -

'What am I ?'

Just a tiny little ripple 

On the surface of 

The ocean of Time.
