You live out your lives
In a shell of flesh.
Self-contained but separate.
How lonely you are.
I am pleased to see
That we are all different.
But together we become
Greater than the sun.

I wish you had told us
That you were not free.
Your baubles and silver leaves
Are nothing but ghosts.
Change is the process
Essential for existence.
The sooner our happiness begins
The longer it lasts.

I am pleased to see
That we are all different.
But together we become
Greater than the sun.
