Our Time as Americans

Our Time as Americans

Our time as Americans has come

to work together by example

leading our nation into our

future. Upon arrival

we will find rejoicing

around the globe, in our growth as a

nation, as humans.

Humans whose hearts are now whole.

We no longer simply see: man or woman,

skin color, separation by religion,

republican or democrat, monetary

or dream, left brain or right brain, science or art,

kindness or achieving.

By working together, instead of arguing at

each other, we create harmony for ourselves,

for our ancestors, for our children,

and for our neighbors ~

no matter the distance of land,

ocean, air, or footsteps between us.

Let the valves of our hearts open, extending

dreams to each other ~ in reality. The kindness

of our collective souls will rise

above. Humans will further elevate

to higher purpose

here on Earth and the galaxies beyond.

*Thank you for reading this poem. This poem was written before or around 2007. I sent this poem to all candidates running for election. About 12 people were running at that time. I received a letter back from President Barak Obama and Senator John McCain. Their letters came before the election was down to them running against each other. Unfortunately, this poem feels further out of alignment now, in 2021. However, tipping points have to rock the earth, before the tip. If you enjoyed this poem click the heart. If you support artists, you can leave a tip - I appreciate it!
