An Unbroken Line
Every human life follows a single,
unbroken line.
The potential for life
becomes life
at the moment of conception,
growing, as nature insists,
from a single cell into trillions of cells.
From that moment, until death,
each life is a single, unbroken line.
There is no such thing in nature
as days or months or years.
The moon does not know
it is June, nor the sun
the day or hour.
Calendars and clocks
are simply things
humans made up,
for convenience.
They do not exist in nature.
Here is how precious you are:
throughout the universe,
only you can occupy
your place
in space and time.
Every choice
you make
or do not make
is felt
throughout the world,
our galaxy,
and beyond.
Why not make
good choices
instead of
bad choices?
Why not?
The universe is ninety-six percent
emptiness
and four percent
matter (us).
I need your light
we need your light.
together we can stand
against the encroaching darkness.
there is a synergy in nature–
two lights, together, shine
brighter
than two lights,
apart.
