a grain of sand
feels bigger, sometimes
than all the progress
I've made.

I squint - and see
that a grain of sand
is still
an object of intricacies
and I look - and watch
a snowflake
becoming part of a snowbank.
a single leaf
joining others
to coat the ground.

if I can measure my growth
in these things,
every day adding
another grain of sand at least -
I may one day
cover the shore.
what's this? a poem?? for a prompt on goodreads: "baby steps"
