THE SCINTILLA OF LIFE

This Valentine’s Day

We celebrate the wonders of our natural world.

We laugh at first, too. 

Then curse. 

Brush back our hair

Ready to start for a new world, a new life.

 But the world turns over.

We are stuck, suddenly realizing our freedom. 

Even if it did bow over 

Just being able to pick up and go

Thru a puzzle of sandblasted sunburnt wood 

And feel lonelier than ever before.

 Land is our only love. 

We fell in love with these pieces of sky and earth. 

The wild and natural world is the one 

That show us the way to the child on us.

Animals and Wo/Men have come to live on Earth.

 Only together do we exist. 

Only together do we form a whole. 

All human beings have a common identity,

 We are not a single species on this planet.

 We inter-mate. 

We must to act 

With the necessities of all the living

Illustrating the scintilla of life.
