We Are One





Blue skies,
darkness within.
We cross lines,
we cross continents,
and time stands still.
Humanity cries,
but little or no action is taken.
I lie down with my brothers and sisters,
sheltered in their embrace.
We are connected in this vast universe,
under these blue skies.
We are one breath,
we are one people,
we are one.

    Great take on this prompt -- a different direction than my mind went, and I really enjoyed looking at the image in the light you cast on it. Well done!

    I like these lines best:

    Humanity cries,
    but little or no action is taken.
    I lie down with my brothers and sisters,
    sheltered in their embrace

    (as I said over at Brian's blog, the pic is creepy)

    good take on the prompt ~

    This is just beautiful, ayala. Sometimes I wonder why we don't feel the pain more collectively...

    A very compassionate take on the image. Beautiful is not the only word;sublime also comes to mind.
