Special Delivery

Looking down
At the grains of sand left after the water went
And grew from it all types of green
All in that landscape
Nestled on, around and in between
All those special ripples
Set in stone upon the earth

You are so incredibly special for being
Hear and see
The odds stacked unimaginably against you
It’s unbelievable here

You are so special
Yet so special
That the universe cares not
Whether you are or not
There’s nothing to care

Rippling in rough air
Probably like erosion in stone
Beautiful and clear
But clouded tufts everywhere
While the plan drops for landing
Which I’ve heard is a controlled crash
