sometimes

i don't feel big enough
to help

but when it's time to ride into the dark
with someone looking over my shoulder

it just feels wrong

i would rather help fill the ocean
help man find peace
child find color
woman find rhythm
dog find water
and moon find light

but those are things
that don't need my help

I'm glad I found your blog. I'm going to link to it. Oh, and I love the mixture of good will and futility in this poem.
