One Millet Seed

One tiny millet seed doesn't make a sound.

Do a million millet seeds, as they hit the ground?

One little, tiny word - even if it's love -

nor one million other written words

will ever be enough.

Half the distance travelled, an infinite number of times,

never brings us closer to the scene of Zeno's crimes.

Half the gap between us – even if it's small -

nor the millionth part of it

is bridged by us at all.
