the rain, the wind
the soil, the light
Persians believe
so it's been told me
that when in balance
then the fifth element
becomes free

Life is a spring
life, love, hope
these are all things
making more of themselves,
growing harmonies,
like a stone soup
feeding the millions

bringing in new hope with
a pinch of love from here
a bunch of life from there
with a few spices,
serves up well
and redeems man

in the huge complex web
of people making
a community
the turtle, the hare
the fox, the bear
and everyone partaking

Interdependence
that when in balance
grows harmonies
that serve up well
for people making
a community.
