we should be so small

we are so small 

tiny besides the single rock

that towers over us, covered in

the purest of snow fallen from the skies

this grey morning,

we drive by, the car windows

speckled with liquid droplets

that distort our view, we too

could use a new lens to see

ourselves as we should be,

dancing lightly on this 

magnificent Earth, our only home,

the most precious gem in 

the universe,

let's look through a new lens

and live differently, to protect

that upon which we depend

for our very 

lives.
