A Drop of Rain
a drop of rain, among a million drops
a grain of sand, among a million grains
a blade of grass, among a million blades
a single thought, among a million thoughts
each one plucked from a vast singular collective
how small the drop
how small the grain
how small the blade of grass
all tethered to a world of commonality... to form
a storm
a beach
a meadow
like a single thought forming a basis for reason
how perfect the moment of realization
when we begin to understand
like the drop of rain
which bends light to create colors within its sphere
or the sand which grinds stone to widen rivers
or the meadow that's eaten, only to grow again
we are more than we appear to be
