We Are All the Same........by Rumi

We Are All the Same 

Listen to the reeds as they sway apart; 
Hear them speak of lost friends. 

At birth, you were cut from your bed,
Crying and grasping in separation.

Everyone listens,
knowing your song.

You yearn for others who know your name,
And the words to your lament.

We are all the same, all the same,
ongoing to find our way back;

Back to the one,
back to the only one.

~ Rumi
