speck

i stare into the vastness

of the blue

we call the sky

not a cloud to be seen

the sun's magnificence

makes me cover my eyes

the flashing white dots

as i look away

fade with time

but the realization

of who we are

is so sublime

we are but a speck

on a speck

circling a speck

in a vastness

that is never-ending

and like that single

grain of sand

that washes back to the sea

our lives, a second in time

will wash away

in the vastness called eternity
