We Are

Sitting over there
What do they see?
exploring the world in different colors
in various states
variant views
unique perspectives, opinions and suggestions
foreign forms like never before



Like breathing in new inspiration into an existing nature, renewing and replenishing it


Here they come


seeing through these scenes set before them
in different views
various forms
assorted languages
unique sites
as they all express in unity together
that's what they say
our languages they speak
the views we  should seek
the methods we should approach
that are farther from our thoughts
even as we speak they listen
they express themselves
and through them we conceive indiscriminately




But do we really see?


If so


What do we see?
What do we observe?
What do we share?
What are our thoughts towards another?
What do we breathe?
A message of peace?



We are not the choices we make
but the motives behind the choices we make
our voices can be heard
whether we make or break
whether we conserve or exploit
whether we fuse or refuse



Remember

We are to choose.

Excellent write, very wise and I agree. Motives make an action right or wrong. I think even thought have a repercussion on those around us, so we should watch for what we think. Thanks for sharing a thought provoking write. Happy new year 2010! And welcome to the Soup! Caroline.
