Once, I was a droplet
Before I became the ocean
Then sloshing up on barren lands
I set the world in motion
Once, I was a grain of sand
Formed with my raging tides
Now I cover every desert
Connecting great divides
Once, I was a molecule
Then I split a single hair
I exchanged with carbon
And now I am the air
Once, I was a tiny seed
But now I am the trees
I started off a puffy cloud
And now I am the breeze
Once, I was a nothing
Merely, an aberration
Now I’m in the universe
I'm known as the creation
In a list

Beautiful and wonderful; touches the bigger picture
I love this poem. I like how it shows the bigger picture of things. How the poem shows that all things, even small things, ammount into something bigger. I enjoyed the flow and rhyme of the poem. Fantastic job.
