Alien Brothers & Sisters

alien brothers and sisters
we are here together 
as earth people

we are nature’s invention 
sprung from the same cell - soul
scripted a billion times
in a million different plays - places

we are every single person
divided by a thin pocket of flesh
our lungs
full with shared air
breathed for us 
by far-away rainforest trees

we are both plant and animal
we are the stars and the soil
we are meant to be a planet of poetry

oh, harmony
the light of love is only one switch away
respect all living things that fly, walk, crawl or swim
feel gratitude for everything this home brings

heaven is here
