Listen to the flowers
As they huddle together.
From one petal to another,
Be attentive they say,
Perhaps in various states of array,
All rising from one stem, but in their own way.
Looking around, what do they see?
What’s happening?
What’s that, you say?
Cacophony must not dissuade.
Take heart and persevere,
Regardless of whatever, either, or any way.
From one petal to another,
Life goes on, and Eternity prevails
In taking great care
And consideration of each other.
Listen to the flowers,
From one petal to another,
They are one, though many,
As they “humble” together.

“Your neighbor is your other self dwelling behind a wall. In understanding, all walls shall fall down. Who knows but that your neighbor is your better self wearing another body? See that you love him as you would yourself. He too is a manifestation of the Most High, whom you do not know.” – Kahlil Gibran
