Grain

more than just a speck…

There is no doubt
One grain of sand
Himself alone
Could make a stand

He has no clout
For on his own
He’s in a drought
He’s just unknown

But should he band
This grain of sand
With kindred specks
Then hand in hand

There is no doubt
In clumped command
A mountain grand
They’d surely tout

A mountain clanned
A mountain manned
A hill would stand
Without a doubt

In no demand
One grain alone
Just sits about
With life unplanned

He’s on his own
And all alone
Unclumped, unclanned
His shores unfanned

He’s back to bland
With life unspanned
And just one speck
A speck of sand
