Apes love,
Birds think,
Dogs smile—
Joy and thought
Not unique
To human spirit;
Emotions not exclusive
To the psyche.
Nature weeps
To cleanse the hurt;
Mother Earth sighs
No relief--
Humanity thinks
We are the ones,
We are the all, but
As creation whirls
We twist and turn,
Where it goes
We follow.
Inseparable are we
From the totality—
Locked in step
Toward our finality.
