Within every face we see, also, a mirror
within every silence, a breath
within every soul is the path growing clearer
within every lifeform, a death
Our stuff is the stuff of the planets and quarks
existing as one in this space
'till that universe distant and showering sparks
stands ready to take this one's place
A day is as a thousand years
a thousand years as a day
yet human psyche interferes
and would find a better way
The thing that most matters, which few understand
for which many continue to die
is that Unification of Physics Grand
I am you, as you are I
