The Insignificant I

Wave after wave
of generations rise and fall
In that tumble of people
I am less than a little drop

In a universe 
a billion years old
of Cosmic proportions
As yet untold

A flash in 

a bubbling cauldron

For a moment here

Next moment gone

Trees and monuments

from eons before

Will remain standing

ere I begone

Their stay too 

will end sometime

Watched by Mother Earth

biding her time

Will she too vanish

someday in the future?

Withdrawn into 

the Ultimate Maker

Only to be thrown forth

in the next cycle

When will return

my soul, a trifle?

Too insignificant

but making noise

wanting attention

or losing poise

My views, my opinions

what matter they?

When my life itself

is just for a few days?

Dwarfed by giants

silently watching 

life passing by

tripping and stumbling!

Recording but

not judging

forgetting for

there is nothing distinct

Man is the same

whether you or me

though we delude 

that we are unique

Are we puppets

with chains?

Our course

already destined?

Yet we struggle

fight the current

cry our fate

complaint pouring in a torrent

The river of life

will wash us away

pushing us 

into the sea willy-nilly

Swim with the tide

rest for sometime

enjoy the moment

let go when it's time

You are insignificant

even if 'powerful'

meant to do

if, at all anything, meaningful

When the life begins

making a tiny splash

Ending not the end

Grateful for the brief flash.
