The Drop is of The Flow

By Jane Tawel

March 22, 2022

*

Is a little drop of water, less important than a wave?

Is a single link less worthy as a small part of a chain?

Is a ray of sunshine, shining, not the reason we are warmed?

And do single clouds contribute to a needed good rain storm?

*

We are small parts of the Cosmos.

We are solitary souls.

Yet we share the Heaven’s matter,

and we share Creation’s goals.

*

Oh, to ride the Wave as just one drop,

to be within The Ocean;

to find within my own small self,

the reason for the motion —

The Motion of the rise and fall,

The Motion of the light,

The Motion of the great and small,

The Motion of the day and night.

*

In God, all life is moving,

and moving ever more.

God is the motion of our being,

The Endless Flow from shore to shore.

*

I know not where my speck began,

Nor where my wave will go.

I only trust that in God’s grace,

I’m One within The Flow.

*
