Echoes, in the tides



Even stars Up in the heavens Would be like us

If they only knew What it’s like to be friends

together

Finding ways to help one another
Sharing times Despite the whether

We are who we are...

Our differences Project an aura
which becomes our depth of dimensions

Make like Real life reflections projections
focused somewhere within our thoughts

Seeing little Of forever a particle of perception
only what self-reflections echo in our minds

 we've been taught a story some call history

Reflections countless struggles of our kind

A freedom has been bought
at such cost it staggers the imagination

even to grasp where so inclined
although Still we’re almost blind

When it’s beyond eternity

we must be content
to see it all as best we can

 Women and men together

who in Raising families
of loving entities

Creating societies
In the echoes of a greater love

Becoming a heaven As most of us believe
In our life and minds

Resonating As we pulse and glow
Each in turn Adrift in a sea many of a kind

in the universal ocean
of time/space

blessed to be sharing
A passion for life

In this space
and time
