Grains of the Ember

by M. Joseph Boehler

we, humanity, chase a trembling ember,

lost in clouds of chaos,

slowly falling again, into synchronicity.

our awareness, a minute grain of sand,

that eventually falls with everything else,

settling into place.

Author's Note: The ember in this poem represents the spark of curiosity, driving humanity forward, while the grain of sand reminds us of our modest place within the vast currents of existence.
