Creatures of Nature

We were once creatures of nature

We sprang from this earth

Beings of its evolution

Just as every other creature

But somehow our paths diverged

We strove to dissociate from it

Our very biology challenged our mortality

And we found it hard to accept

So we forged ever onward

Stumbling upon discoveries that have led to a mechanized, technoligized world

Which we struggle daily to control      

But it has made us feel immortal

Which I guess is the goal

So take a walk in the forest

Marvel at a beautiful sunset, or the glow of the moon

And realize that we are not above or below

That we are part of something truly magnificent

And if you listen very carefully

You will hear it calling us home
