fill my lungs with air
let my heart beat
find a spot and stare
sitting on my feet
the world spins around me
I do not affect its course
with closed eyes I can see
the great and invisible force
we are entangled with one another
like the branches of a great tree
we are each a parent, child, sister, brother
the ties that bind actually set us free
connections made are connections held
and we are never without a friend
for our paths and our lives will always meld
in a partnership that will never end
we mistake our individuality for being alone
we are not separate, we are not apart
we are not skin and blood and muscle and bone
we are all colors of the same work of art
