Why Are We So The Same? - Visitor's Poem

So charming… so candid
With longings wild and vain
Spirit flies up to the heavens
Why are we so the same?
Glaring at the night skies
Partly illuminated by a crescent moon
Sending wishes upon the stars
Why are we so the same?
Music rocks our soul
Its instruments tickle our past
And melodies prophesying our future
Why are we so the same?
Both strong-willed and determined
As horizons are far beyond reach
Holding on to a life purpose-driven
Why are we so the same?
Frozen tears on the onset of spring
Beckoning silence within chaos
Frontiers glowing and expanding
Why are we so the same?
The world keeps on turning
The sun keeps on shining
The heart keeps on beating
Wild butterflies freely wandering
We pause with so much humility
Patiently waiting for the truth signs
And with a deep sigh it dawns on us
Why are we NOT the same?
