Conversation...A Poem

 

 

I talked to the tree

And the tree answered me.

I said, "Sister."

It said, "Brother,

We are one; the same

Flesh, the same bone."

 

I talked to the bird

And the bird answered me.

I said, "Brother."

It said, "Brother,

We are all one,

Same flesh, same bone."

 

I spoke to the sky,

The sky spoke to me.

I said, "Sister."

It said, "Brother,

We are the same

in every way. We are one."

 

I spoke to the stone,

The stone answered me.

I said, "Brother."

It said, "Brother,

We are one, the same

In every way. But

You will die and I

Will live forever."

 

I asked, "World?"

And the world answered me.

I said, "Mother, Father."

It said, "Son, we are

Flesh of the same flesh,

Blood of the same blood.

We are the same in every way."
