Everything's connected

The darkness is still lingering..and the quietness is all around.
Morning is now entering..with all of her most amazing sound.
Birds are, all singing and the breezes are letting us hear:
All of the world's  melodies, from places that are far and near..

We can hear it the beautifulness and we can hear  the whimpering..
The sounds of so much happiness and  of those who   shout and scream
In all of the elements and in  all of the sun's golden beams
All of the earth's inhabitants can be heard in the echoing...

We cannot begin to understand it..all of our  bondedness
With all of our world around us: and with all  earth's inhabitants
How we are, all of us..participants: the causes and the effects
Of everything we are witnessing: we need time of reflectiveness

So, stop now and think awhile.. slow down, and hear this all
We are, all of us..a continuation of our Great Creator's call
We can become the cooperative ones: those who really care
Or   we can become the destructive ones.... those who are sowing despair
