We Are All Human

This is the most human feeling we have 
To experience what it is to be 
Is to experience a life of the unexpected 
The unknown 
Truth 
Vows 
Promises 

It's very human to want more
But it's even more human to give 
To need less 
Want less 
Give more

It's human to have a connection 
With the waves of the water
The blue of the sky 
The green of the grass 
And the peace of the earth 

We are all human 
As we stare into the sky 
As the ones before us once did 
The same clothes on our backs 
As the ones before 
The time stays the same 
As the world is the one that is always changing 

And like the ones before
Centuries from now
We will stand 
On the same hill 
Staring into the same sky 
As we still wonder about the past 
And wish for the future

  • Yesterday

    yesterday 
    to you i was nine years old 
    with a black hurley hat 
    that never left my head 
    the hat that you would take 
    and try to hold it far above 
    my reach knowing i could never get it 

  • Seasons

    Summer nights

    Taste of sweet smoke

    Laughter and kindness

    The generosity of strangers

    The hopes of tomorrow

    And the struggles of a past day


     

    Fall days

    Feel the heat on your back
