Lovely poem and such a pretty vid too. You see so much into things. I have a poem to bring to you, which is a little bit in the same vein or feeling. You are so creative every which way.

Beautiful, brilliant and profound prayer. To my mind, a wish to function as we are meant to function in the eyes of God.

Here you go from my old blog:

Hope you enjoy it...

Cog

I am but cog

A little cog

In a big, big wheel

Wheel turns rapidly

Rushing over bumpy roads

Avoiding crashes

Speeding people and things

To their destinations.

I am unseen, unmentioned

except when I come loose and fail.

Then I am brutally pushed

Back into my small place.

I dream great dreams

Of greatness

Recognized and achieved

And wish to be more.

But look at the word recognized!

There is cog

That little word

Right in the middle

Without, which recognized

Would utterly fail.

Cog is needed.

Nothing can work

Or go forward

Without cog.

I am cog.

I hold things together.

I am necessary.

I serve

Something greater

Than myself.

What greater

Purpose can one have?

Ultimately, everyone

Is blessed to be cog

In the universe.
