Grain of Sand
No less a star upon the strand
Than nebulae,
in the Heavens grand
No different than a comets ride
Small in scale, yet traveled well
Smoothed and formed on every side
And doomed to salty universe to swim
Polished bright as nova’s light
This grain of sand…once dim
Jupiter worlds of size so grand
Both afloat in worlds remote
Both formed by cosmic hand
Briny climes, darkest deeps
Both the same…just different names
Of stone that neither dreams nor sleeps
Bejeweled with stars and milky pearls
One in skies and Heavens grand
The other in tidal pools and swirls
Grander Than…
an inconsequential
…Grain of sand…

David o Whalen I think this one's so stunning that readers passed it by, shunning the possibility of being stunned! I'm glad you at least, found it readable and liked it a bit. Appreciate ya' Paul. Thanks for commenting and encouraging me.

did you know that if you could subtract the distance between every subatomic particle the entire universe in theory would fit in a space no larger than a common pea ?

David o Whalen would it fit in a space of an "uncommon" pea?
