.
Hold on to that
tiny ledge,
that little
fingertip of ground.
It’s all you’ve got,
so it’ll have to do
for now.
Dig in.
Make a home there.
Plant a tiny garden
and watch it flourish.
Then,
one day,
when that ledge
upon that cliff
cannot contain you
any longer,
you will spill out,
and disperse
your beauty
into the world.
You’ll be everywhere,
a whole continent.
A whole planet.
A whole galaxy.
All because you chose
to live on a ledge.
