One Song at a Time
One plant at a time,
I try to add beauty to this wretched world,
Envisioning a paradise
Of birds, bees, and bugs
(Except the itchy, painful ones).
One note at a time,
Then note upon note,
In harmonies I’ve sung with those
Who also strive for unity,
And making beauty.
One word at a time —
May I bring understanding,
Clarity, news, and views
That might, perhaps,
Change a life for good.
Yes, there’s pain and conflict,
Clashes, disagreements,
Strife and war —
But I want to open a door
To understanding.
“I came not to bring peace, but a sword.”
Truth will cause conflict,
So conflict there must be.
Does God sing in the universe,
One song at a time,
Making billions of songs
Harmonize?
