Different Yet Same

Me in my car and he on his bicycle

We both stood soaking in torrential showers

Rain didn't understand our differences

It continued to soak us in blissful ignorance

My fancy fireplace and campfire by roadside

The same warmth to both, the fire provides

Sun and moon all give us the same light

But still over our differences we fight

Our circumstances we choose before we are born

They are decided by lessons we need to learn

All of us are on this journey to learn and grow

Each one at different pace, some fast some slow

Our journeys and experiences could be different

But the final destination is the same one

Union with the source is our ultimate goal

Realising that we are physical manifestations of our soul

Different circumstances but goal is just one

We are all here to learn life's lessons
