Unity through working together
For we cannot exist without each other.
I need my lungs which need trees,
Who need the sun to rise every morning.
The same sun who kisses my cheek and warms my heart,
Darkens my skin and calms my soul.
As joyful music enters my ears, my mind is quiet
And a gentle smile forms-
Easing left over pain from the day before
Releasing serotonin in my brain, and
Signaling to my body that we will be OK.
Because today is a new day,
A new chance to live harmoniously with the other beings
With whom I co-exist;
To dwell on earth in synergy
With the energy of atoms outside my mortal chassis.
Those which I cannot control
But upon which I must depend
To simply
Subsist.
For alone, I am nothing but
A random collection of carbon and hydrogen atoms
Vibrating at different frequencies.
But with the help of gravity and other natural forces
They are unified into one.
Moving together,
Pulsing together,
To form the being that is me.

Unity through working together
For we cannot exist without each other.

And a gentle smile forms-

Releasing serotonin in my brain, and

A new chance to live harmoniously with the other beings

For alone, I am nothing but
A random collection of carbon and hydrogen atoms
Vibrating at different frequencies.
But with the help of gravity and other natural forces
They are unified into one.
Moving together,
Pulsing together,
To form the being that is me.
