Remarkable dust of sand

When you feel insignificant
as if you're only just a grain of sand,
a microscopic particle
whom nobody notices
Maybe you're a granule in a desert,
a pellet on a riverbottom,
a spark of light
or a gliding fragment
in a sunlit dusty room...

When you're feeling frail
as if the slightest windblow
could sweep you away
and you think you're worthless

Ease your senses and remember
how you beat the odds
when you came to exist
and how wonderful it is
to have life's mysteries
to ponder about
all the good
and all the bad
are opportunities
to learn and evolve

Remember that you have
a voice of your own,
a life only you can lead
Don't ever lend that power
to anyone else
Only you can play your part
Don't wait,
you have everything you need
it's all within you
