Fall

Above the earth, I fly with my brothers,
My sisters, my parents, my family.
Slowly, I fall down, farther and farther
Away from my home and into the sea.

One by one, they all start to follow suit
Falling faster and faster, not stopping.
Faster and faster, I fall to my roots,
Eager to see what the sea will soon bring.

A strong wind blows me and my brethren off course
Separating me from my would-be home.
I land on a nearby shore with remorse.
Unable to reach the salty sea foam.

Alone I fall through the small grains of sand.
Alone I disappear into the land.
