All Live For Life
Sleeping suckling smiling
eight pounds two ounces
imbued with universal drive
the solitary soul screams out
To sustain the miracle of Life
Chance and position
set the form, the rules, the path
so hardened by success
heshe lives out their plan
To sustain the miracle of Life
Connected by genealogy
fanning out from loving pairs
imbued from parentism
us related together strive
To sustain the miracle of Life
Collected by community of
place, thought, voice, shade
to hold what is ours
we share the path
To sustain the miracle of Life
Related from some ancient source
from compatible egg and sperm
with commonality and diversity
our species so survives
To sustain the miracle of Life
In numbers multivariable
diet procreation life style
covering all bases
the not-us mobiles share our need
To sustain the miracle of Life
Myriad rooted sun fueled beings
reverse our burning and
enrich our bodies
to merge own and ours
To sustain the miracle of Life
Massive microscopics,
floating, replicating, mutating,
unseen by us they
aid and challenge
To sustain the miracle of Life
The DNA less base - air, water, rock
the waves, bonds, rays
that source and challenge
from the planet our partner
To sustain the miracle of Life
There is but one path
with infinite directions
but with common end
the reason for being
To sustain the miracle of Life
