In a blue summer sky 
a whisper of white 
In the midnight hour  
a flash of starlight 

In a winter blizzard
a flake of snow 
In a wild hurricane
a puff and blow

In a tropical storm 
a drop of rain
In a rock salt mountain 
a single grain

In the fields of green
a blade of grass
In a shattered mirror
a shard of glass 

In a volcanic burst 
a speck of dust
In an ancient shipwreck  
a scale of rust 

In the atmosphere
a gasp of breath 
In the midday sun
a bead of sweat

In the tidal flats
a fleck of mud 
In the senseless wars
a drop of blood
