Harmony

a poem by Essortee

Leaves! Leave us!!
I who brought forth you
I who bear you
I who feed you
But you shadow me
No more sap! Whatever hap!!
Be alone I! Be gone you!

We are not lazy!
We are the industry!!
Our green produce food!
And made you fat and brown!!
But we fade and drown!!

Are you not bones and flesh?
One gets one from earth,
One gets one from sun-sky.
Earth to sky I am one.
Can’t you be one?

Can short live and long live be one?
Short or long the span,
Purpose served be gone!
Existence has a plan of its own,
Little flies enjoy no waiting moan!!

Dependent shadows the depended on!
Hidden roots heeds not darkness!
Be one! Be aware of the One!!
