One Heart

I wonder our world should it beat with one heart
                   The variance found would not tear us apart
In words formed of love bid to meet each new day
              Together in one breath, we’d sweep hate away
Intelligence summoned by thinking in tune
                Transforming the winter to springtime in June

Inside of what looks like a shiny blue orb
     The water that flows through our lives would absorb
Infirmities fashioned by weakness of mind 
           To forge a new armor, our strengths well defined
I wonder our world should it beat with one heart
                          The tragedies requisite  for us to start

A beautiful entry for the contest, Mike... I wonder though: If the world had but one heart, do you think it might go out of its 7.5 billion freaking minds?! ~ Hmm.

I wonder if such an existence could ever become reality, but I must believe it can if I have faith in God's plan for humans. Wonderful thought, Mike.

Indeed, it is as you affirm, Mike. Unity Consciousness ~ Google ‘Ra law of one’, there are several YouTube videos on this too. Check out Aaron Abke. However right now the lesson mankind needs to learn is unconditional love before we shift to the next density
