Truly One Life of the Living
by Diana J Legun

Rated "G" by the Author.

This poem is inspired by the lyrics to the song "Christmas 1915," authored by Cormac MacConnell and performed by Celtic Thunder in their Christmas album. It can be a template for nation-nation clashes and intra-national political rivalry and opposition, religion discordance, and family estrangements. This link is another version of that song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NL2mg_sKCiw


If I am you

and you are me,

seeing this truth

could set us free.

For we all walk a different path Diane and
a desire for all to accept each other is a
wonderful vision, I wish it were so and also
hope in the far off future it will happen.

Lovely

Love and Light

diana...now you've got me scrambling to find the lyrics to 'Christmas 1915' and who the heck is cormac mac connel.

i am somewhat of the same thinking as odin in wondering about the possibility that we are actually hardwired to seek captivity opposed to freedom...certainly appears that way when looking from odd angles.

i like the simple complexity of these few wowrds of yours.

As both your summary and poem proffer, the oneness of everything is becoming more and more estranged from sentient living and more and more akin to the consciousness and existence of a rock. There is much in these few words, arresting some of us to idea that perhaps we are hardwired to seek captivity as opposed to freedom. History would certainly give that idea a run for its money. Your picture would be a good send to Romney and his twisted conviction of us and them distinction. Thanks for posting such a simple alarm. Here's hoping it resounds loud and clear and few readers merely try and sign off with something cute in response to your effort.

If you are me
and I am you

chains for life.

Just playing around, Diana. Yours is the much more optimistic one.

Simple wisdom said in elegant fashion. Nice Diana!
