Death-Sand Grains Poem by Mary Mc Creath

From death
new life arises.
Rock and Mountains
gives way to a
billion grains of
sand per second.

Sand can be
cemented into sandstone
by bacteria
or formed
into sand dunes.

Sand dunes can
travel six hundred metres
per year and
cause whole villages
to migrate.

Even sand grains
have a life
that affects the world
they live in.

How do you affect
the world,
which you live in?

Can you see how you do?
Can you think how you do?
Do you know how you do?
Do you feel how you do?

In a second, minute, hour,
day, week, month, year,
lifetime,
How do you?
How have you?
