Steinbeck's Turtle

i was once a speck

one needed to squint to even

catch a glimpse of such a glimmer

i was once a drop of water

one in a cloud of fog

i was once of cosmic dust

with no mind to the sins above

but now I am here

I am living

yet I am still that tiny speck 

I still hold that water drop

i am of the cosmic dust

and i wonder

How long will i hold together?
