Energy

source

The consciousness that dances

In the tiniest feet of the ant

To carry its food triple its size

Is given to me also

I build my home

And also my food

With words

“Praise be to God

Praise be, praise be praise be”*

 

 

*The lines are from the lyrics of the national anthem of Zambia.

    Praise be indeed..we may not be ants but the load we carry can feel as heavy and burdensome...but carry it we must if we want to survive - and more...a profound poem

    Oh Sumana, this is beautiful and I so admire your deep faith and gratitude. My poem is sort of the opposite, but is just where I was at at that particular moment. I got grateful again soon after, LOL.

    With one word at a time, we build enough energy to carry the world (or at least our world). I like it! ♥

    How wonderful that each creature and living thing has special talents to survive. It is a pity that humans spend so much time and energy being destructive.
