As the acorns drop like bombs
upon my tin roof,
I am reminded that
the slightest sound within silence
beats the biggest bang within noise,
that a picayune problem in peace
TRUMPS a colossal calamity in chaos.
Perhaps our context is not as overwhelming
as our content makes it out to be.
Perhaps that which we notice
serves only to remind us
of that which we overlook.
We are alive.
We are breathing.
It is a beautiful day.
Newfound Lake,
10/10
Each acorn, a percussive envoy from the whispering oaks,
thunders upon our tin dwelling,
interrupting the quiet with sharp bursts of tiny profunditude.
In this symphony of petite explosions,
we recognize the sovereign potency of the subtle.
For within a cathedral of silence,
the slightest sound becomes an oracular chorus,
transcending the cacophonous clamor of a dissonant world.
The phenomenon manifests as life’s quirky paradoxture:
wherein smallness amplifies within stillness,
while bigness diminishes in turmoil.
Our picayune qualms, when cushioned in an oasis of serenity,
take precedence over gargantuan calamities that howl within tumultuous storms.
In the theater of existence, context wears the crown,
its regency undervalued by the clamorous peasants of content.
So we ponder upon the acorns of wisdom,
the tinny timpani that teaches us scale and scope,
reminding us to celebrate the overlooked grandeur in tiny things.
And in doing so, we find our mindfulness expanding,
our hearts breathing in unison with the universe.
We are alive.
We are breathing.
It is a beautiful day.
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
We marvel at the revelatory power of acorns plummeting on a tin roof, discovering that the subtleties of existence can surpass overwhelming clamors when set against the backdrop of peaceful context.
