Connection and Purpose

There’s a sofa in the wilderness, There’s a seat in the forest, There’s a place for you in evolution, For your right, time, space and air. There’s a twinkle in the blue tit’s eye, When he sings to you sweetly entertaining, There’s an inkling in the dying oak, When your death is coming sometime, definitely. Plants grow upwards, I grow upwards, Leaves fall from the trees, hair’s cut off, Eyelids are opened by all animals, I awake to see the light, A mum bear tickles her cub’s tummy and my mum has tickled me, The king lion’s muscles are taught in stride, I run with enormous strength, A panda hugs her baby with stealthy arms, mine are for such, Our hearts beat the rhythm of blood, And I see where I have come from, holding to it firmly. Only happiness pervades, Since evolution’s inclusivity serves the universal; All things having voice in the canvass.
