my cells, formed by love, are questioning

when the earth began to crumble

and the people fell inside

i looked for you.

did we once swim in the seas?

or have i/we/you always been alone? lost?

lost in our foundness? found in our lostness?

as the dirt and ashes

mixed with salty tears

and clots of blood

my pupils turned to pulses

and my eyes to hearts

when will we learn to soar?

or is the path to sink?

who taught the world to suffer?

my cells, formed by love, are questioning

unable to understand

the wondrous beauty

and the deep, immense pain

love the world, my children

love, love, love
