Pity the Ocean, Be The Dewdrop

A single drop of dew,
though very small,
deserves more respect,
than the ocean.
It clings to life,
holding on,
while giving itself,
until it is consumed.

The ocean takes,
all in it's path,
giving nothing back.
But shore tantrums,
do not last,
for the far moon,
holds the leash.

Pity the ocean,
Be the dewdrop.
