Sussurating waves sighing
like trees in the wind
our Singers hidden in the shallows
beneath rippling sunlight
Certain of their place
within Universe's wheel
as together they build gardens
upon their carefully prepared site
Divided
Separate
Yet One
One heart
One body
One mind
A Community
of many parts
Bone palaces
Skeleton spires
Providing shelter
and support
for our neighbors
Generously
with symbiotically beneficial hearts
Spineless yet persistent
Stinging grasping fingers
feed our hungry mouths
when the Sun
provides no bread
We struggle to thrive now
T'wixt rising heat, pollution,
and humanity's depredation
Our dwindling numbers
may soon become
little more than
bleached bones
scattered across the seabed
Build your world patiently
Create in harmony
Honor diversity
Conserve compassionately
Embrace the simple gift
of coming round
to where you ought to be
If our sacrifices
embed this Wisdom
in your souls
Neither our song
nor our silence
will be in vain.
For those new to the game, each piece is inspired by a Teacher found in Nature; a star, stone, animal, plant etc that holds lessons of Wisdom for us. Can you guess who is singing today?
