Listen

Listen.
The wind soughs through the highest branches.
The leaves and boughs murmur a greeting
and a farewell....
The earth breathes.

Listen.
The waves swoosh up onto the beach
and then retreat....
A never-ending motion.
The earth breathes.

Listen.
Do you hear the heartbeat?
Over six billion souls in unison.
It is the pulse of humanity.
The earth breathes.

Our aloneness is only eclipsed
By the recognition of our
Togetherness.
