We Are as Nothing ( this pin point image is one taken of the Earth from Voyager)

We Are as Nothing ( this pin point image is one taken  of the Earth from Voyager)

When I feel weighed down with worries
and all the problems of the day surround me,
sometimes I need to stop and remember..
We are as nothing
 
To only see what is before me,
and feel what I can hear or touch or sense
is deceiving and tricks my mind into forgetting that..
We exist  as nothing
 
From the depths of the universe  we are captured.
Nothing more that a mote of dust
suspended in a sunbeam...
We seem as nothing
 
Those things that we allow to drive us to despair and sorrow.
The sadness we feel that seems unsurmountable
Looked at from a different perspective , we realise
We remain as nothing
 
So much left to discover, even though we are miniscule
within the observable Universe, the incomprehensibly sized cosmos.
We may never see the light from other galaxies, yet we know
that our  blue planet is everything
