and what shall we do
when it is discovered that we are merely
fragments of imagination
pieces of one giant cosmic thought
one universal idea generated
in the absence of time
and expanding without check
by the false boundaries conceived
within the prison we place ourselves

what shall we do
when it is discovered that we are not
the only entities in existence
but one of billions, trillions
that co-exist
some in their infancy
some light years ahead of us
who smile at our naivety
long for our innocence
and capacity to love

when we find that we are not alone
even here on our own sacred Earth
when our history and myths are shattered
when our thoughts and perceptions are
forced to reboot
and we face an undeniable truth beyond our
scope of imagination
what shall we do

we shall love each other
