Cut from the same cloth, we are
every thread woven the same
yet each makes a unique pattern

You say eternity is acheivable.
I say it is not, unless the world expires
a new millenium underpinned by yore.

The oak and the lichen expands upon us,
fostering old man time, in the clearing
a fire burns indicating change.

You say 'believe' and I say leave
it, it's not necessary - just belong
and breathe the air you live in.

Cut from the same cloth, the count is good
yet a gentle pattern is disturbed
through its many colours and directions.

You say, a prayer solves all the problems.
I say, it salves the heart for a day,
a new consciousness is growing.

The oak and the lichen creep silently
into eternity, never changing, always growing.
But still we search for the maker and deciever.

You say, cry into your fellows arms
and I say, let the wind dry your eyes
and breathe the life around you - here, today.

Cut from the same cloth, you and I.
Every second molded so new,
still each molds the same pattern.

You say, right and I say wrong.
It is the same viewpoint from a different
angle, a new reasoning is upon us.

The oak and the lichen continue whatever,
a never ending cycle of life, expecting
nothing yet producing, feeding a source.

And yet, you require replenishing daily
atoning, forgiveness and I say - first
grow your soul with each glorious morning.

Cut from the same cloth, we are
threads interwoven, silken and soft,
coarse and harsh, mixing the hues of self-
belief and a growing understanding,
a unity of mind while differing intensly.

Cut from the same cloth, you and I, us, we - FAMILY.

Food for thought...
