All Together

We come from different corners of the same globe

Pulled in all directions bright fabric un-wove

We may not see alike

We may not ever

But we are all together now

 

Painful shades of color upon shards of hope

Like motion of contrast into kaleidoscope

We may not see alike

we may not ever

But we are all together now

 

We come from different aspects of the same earth

Moving toward expansion then drawn back to dirt

But we are all together now
