In the twinkle of an eye..

A perspective in size yet love greater still..

An insect stares through tiny compound lens

at a mouse, enormous so grotesque,

the beady eyes of that mouse, sees humans

as maurading, stampeding elephants

A human stands next to california redwood 

tree, dewarfed by its size imposing, 

yet viewed at altitude from a cruising plane

that mighty tree a mere filament of hair

Planet earth, lands, seas, a blue behemoth

could fit a million times inside the sun,

a brightly burning inferno, exudes warmth

like a pretty beachball in a galaxy immence

Our milkway spans thousands of light years

within, myraids of stars, shine bright,

itself one galaxy of trillions more in

the universe, size incomprehensible to traverse 

And yet such magnitudes pale by contrast

in the twinkling of a mother's loving eye

as she cradles new born babe in arms..

An unbreakable bond, stronger than the cosmos!

Just thinking out loud here and wondering

We are but specks of dust in comparison to the vastness of the universe...and yet....when a baby is born and handed to the mother, the mother becomes a giant capable of a love larger than the universe! I really enjoyed the comparisons here, Tom. Great write....and an ode to mothers everywhere. Lydi**

Thank you Lydia, yes I like that analogy, ' mother becomes a giant capable of a love larger than the universe! ' Exactly so!

I believe the end stanza suggests how all those bazillion galaxies fitting into the universe are gleaming in the mother's eyes as she holds her beloved child, softly cradling in her arms, it's her joy and adoration that seems to outshine all that glory for the little being she brought in this world, this stanza bubbled up my heart with adoration, as I tread along your verses comparing every object, how beautifully you brought this poem and ended it gently in the last stanzas as if there is no other bigger entity than the beauty and love of a mother's heart. This poems takes the brim of my heart!
