untitled (autobiographic)

a single sapling in a forest of evergreens
a grey pebble on a rocky beach
a bright green blade of grass
I go unnoticed, invisible

a single window in a high-rise tower
an invalid's first step towards liberty
an f-sharp in a d-major symphony
the word "of" in a novel
I go unnoticed, invisible

a single cornstalk in a field of thousands
one sunflower turned towards the heavens
a lone poppy in a field of imagination
a tiny seed of a dandelion clock lost in the wind
I go unnoticed, invisible

a single twinkle among millions of stars,
who will choose me for their falling wishes?
I cannot believe in the gold under my brass armor
until I see it shine in your eyes
