A Tiny Grain of Sand Part 3
I visit the places beyond all dreams where raindrops are born and will eventually fall
Each looks alike as we did from the ground a journey their own and a place for them all
Their pathway seems clear, create a cloud to fall as rain or as snow freed by the wind their downfall
Are they so different from us our desert becomes their sky do we give life as we trade places below
3000 miles of my journey elapsed
The distance means nothing as endless time has passed
How much longer will the wind that carries us last
A new future awaits and doesn't care about the past
Millions of trillions of us taken, removed from the sand
As long as time began a grain is all that I am lifted above the rest I fly, I can
Like those that surround me, I escape the deserts hand
From a land unforgiving across an ocean of life to deliver myself and be part and more than I am
Not all of us will reach the approaching shore
Some will join the clouds and rain and some the ocean floor
A new beginning to be revealed at this time is what the journey is for
Each and every raindrop every grain of sand overlooked by how were seen yet worth so much more
Creatures of the deep I can see the secret world you keep
I see how the rain brings back what you need as you sleep
I envy the rain as I look at the lakes and rivers deep
Their sacrifice from the sky from delivered to the trees to the grass creep
Up close I Look at the clouds and see where raindrops live
They drift around the world bring change to the weather filter the air like a sieve
The wind pushes them from hiding and fuels the ground below feeds the land and the life it gives
like socks for the sky creating electrical charge allow thunder and lightning to be collaborative
The wind turns gentle and releases its hold on me
A world away from a land that I lived from where my trip began replaced so easily
Seeing things, I could never prepare for, is this what I really lived for I don’t believe what I see
From a barren dry desert landscape to an Eden set free
