Eternity and a grain of sand

Oh little grain of sand, 
Where do you come from?

From mountains high where marauding winds
Give you shape and form.

From river beds where flowing streams
Kiss you noon and morn.

From erratic waves that crush and grind
To whittle down your strength,

From sea gales fierce where blowing gusts
Sweep you across lengths.

Millenniums pass unwatched, unseen
None to see you change,

One by one you gather force
Size for might exchange.

As desert storm you fiercely rise
To obliterate known worlds,

By the seas you live and breathe
Wiping prints with swirls.

Mountains, oceans, rivers, rocks
Hide in your tiny form,

You live a life full and long
From dead of night to morn.
