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

  • The dog at the end

    There’s a dog that sits on the end of my street—

    he barks at anyone that nears,

    snarling teeth that glow shiny in the afternoon light.

  • I am not

    I am not a poet 
    I don’t know how to use my words the way they can
    I can’t captivate the minds of my friends by stringing them along with the simplest of words 

    I am not a musician
