we talk sometimes
    about feeling small
when we look up at the stars
to taste a sliver
    of the size 
    of the universe

and yet 
when i look at the stars
        i am enormous
i am inseparable from this vastness
you cannot remove me from it
    with all your work

we talk sometimes
about thinking
    too small
when we focus on one
    without seeing the
    bigger 
    picture

but i cherish the enormity 
    of the small
how 
    vast 
is a single soul 
how infinite
    their encompassing
