Like Earth Meeting Water

Alone in the woods,
Thinking of the many things in this world.
None like the earth and the water.

In how they are in constant harmony.
They meet everyday without hate,
No prejudice, just peace.

The water helps the earth mold into something better.
The earth listens to the water with active ears.
The water whistles a tune from the heart.
The earth amplifies it for the world to hear.

If only I could see people act as such,
Like the earth meeting water.
If only I could find a man with those qualities,
To find my harmony within.

Light in the Same Lens

I see not through differences,
But in sameness.
We're all humans,
So what's the issue?

Do we not bleed red?
When we scrape our knee,
Get a paper cut, or shot?

Do we not breathe the same air?
The life that we are given by the sweet
Oxygen-filled air that fills our lungs.

Do our hearts not beat the same way?
With every pump of the heart we are given life.
With every pump we give love.

Sameness in this sense makes us human...
What makes us different is our choices in our environment.
Being human is making mistakes to learn from them.

What purpose is there to hurt each other with actions and words?
We all hurt the same way.
We all feel the need to belong.
All we want is to be loved all the same.

Color

Turn that grey into color.
Turn that frown into a smile.
Turn that hate into love.

No shades of grey should spill on the lush bed of green grass.
No shades of grey should pour from the brilliant blue sky.
No shades of grey should touch the yellow of the sunshine.

Why must we live in a world of grey?
The grey that threatens the uniqueness of the people.
It's sad to see that blood doesn't come out red because
of their polarized thoughts.

I want to be able to sit with a man and watch the sunset
of oranges and pinks until the violet darkness engulfs us
with a sweet kiss on our lips.
The greys are threatening to take that dream away.

Live your life in color.
Take a chance to look at the roses of red.
The sunsets of orange.
The sun of yellow.
The trees of green.
The skies of blue.
The darkness of violet.

Turn that grey into color.
Turn that frown into a smile.
And turn that hate into love.

When I See Us as Equal

What I mean when I see us as equal is
finally being together without fear.
The fear of rejection from a job
you wanted.
The fear of being evicted and not having
that warm welcome at all.
The fear that you'll be assaulted and
can't do anything about it.

Fear dissipates, but only with time.
Fear will become a past problem
for us because we will show it
by our power in numbers.

Numbers that increase everyday
with every rising sun there is a boy
or girl coming out to show the world they're
not afraid anymore.

Fearless in every thought is what equal
is as we see it.
