The Enormity of Life

metaphysical maundering

Every life is
Enormous to itself
No matter how small,
To the beatle,
That roles dung,
Into a ball,
Its toil is equal,
To the building,
Of a cathedral.
To the martin,
Its swoops in the sky,
Are perfect art.
The coyote that chases a rabbit
Does not wonder if
There is anything better.
A voice cries out
Across the universe,
"Let me live!"
