If you consider
what you are made of
and what the day is made of,
and laughter and hope –
what they are made of, too,
you’ll start to see a deep congruity

If you notice earth,
and light, and time,
and life and song and sky –
when you see their commonality,
it certainly will move your thought

And as for wars and rumors of wars
and scarcity and trauma  –
let us take what we are made of
and use it as a light to guide our way –
let us hold it high,
each one for each other,
and let us all together
walk away.
