To Be Human

We are

But some electric sparks

Interacting

On a floating rock

Orbiting fire

People holding up

Their kids

To paint on walls

In caves

In homes 

Carving initials

Eternally

On whatever we own

Carving our loved ones'

Beside us in a heart 

Smiling at something 

Someone said

Entering and leaving

A room

Cause you forgot-

Food shared

Bread broken

Messing up

Someone's hair

Leaning on them

Loving them

Sobbing from a

Broken heart

Crying at a death

Sharing sadness to make it

Lighter

A shoulder to lean on

When in despair

Watching

A butterflys dance

Waves crashing

Clouds puffing about

The stars in

Someone's eyes

Hearing,

A laugh, a sob

A bird whistling

Someone snoring

Leaves rustling

Who is there

To feel it all

If not us, 

Electric sparks

Interacting

On a floating rock

Orbiting fire.

We are

Human
