A Little Perspective

One tiny grain of sand,
Came from all this.
The mountain, the sea, the middle:
Between you and me.
And the result of it all is but a single
Insignificant
Grain of Sand.
Hold it to the light,
to examine the mystery
That is
A Single Grain of Sand.
Think of the perspective of that miniscule mineral
The realization that it is but the smallest fraction of this everything.
And the realization that this everything has:
Through time & heat.
Thousands of years of churning beneath the seas.
Collaborated to create:
That tiny fraction we examine so callously.
Just a single grain of sand.
Among the billions that litter the shores.
