Defining Ourselves
Physics tells us the universe was a big bang
Time and space created from nothing.
Religion tells us we came from dust
$11 worth of minerals and water.
We are fragile creatures all of us
Our lives depend on the balance
Of countless physical forces we do not see.
Our minds are more fragile still.
We go about our lives as this is normal
But when a storm rises up, we fear.
We fear what we would loose.
Friends family and loved ones or things.
Our possessions, our homes, our lives
In delicate preservation of the earth.
Too hot, and we would all perish.
Too cold and we would have nothing to eat.
Too much wind and rain
And everything we know could be lost.
How is it we are here at all
In this, the routine of our daily lives?
There is more to life than what you see
The outward appearance, the things we cherish
Something underlies our throng of existance
Invisible, yet tangable, undenyable.
What is really important, we cannot see
Nor can we touch it but we feel its effects
Like the wind blows the tree
We see only what it affects.
None of us can deny that there are many levels
In that we live and have our being
In Quantum physics we call it dimension
That matter can vanish and reapear somewhere else.
And every choice we make
Creates an entire new universe
Are you really sure that when you get up
That you are in the same place you fell asleep?
We cannot deny that the invisible
Things we cannot touch, hear see or smell
Drive us in new directions every single day
And we make the choices to go this way or that.
We don't measure a person by what they own
How many friends they have or what they say
We measure a person by what they do
And how many they have helped along the way.
