Y/. Just Sitting There Comments

A lovely imaginary sitting on the silent beach

This is a poem of grandeur and humility. The grandeur is in Nature, the humility is in you. This is as it should be. Our unique human ability is to understand Nature, to wrap our minds around its vastness and wonders, and then realize we are only a tiny portion of it. Your poem shows this fully and persuasively. I feel humbled by the huge scale of the universe, but I also feel proud (the right kind of pride) that I can comprehend. My favorite American poet WALT WHITMAN expressed this same idea when he called his poems LEAVES OF GRASS.

A perfectly formed poem

So much imagery in so few words! Like this little poem. Nicely written!
