For Selma Poem by Grant House

The clear air in which we are immersed

The clean water from the high mountains and vast plains

All the animals on the fertile earth

The creatures in the teeming seas and lakes and rivers

The immense world of plants that nurture us

The sun, the planets, and Cosmos

And long strings of time

All these and the infinitely creative spirit of human beings

Sing in harmony a song we have just begun to hear

We are one! We are whole! We are alive!

A wild and awesome chorus.


You say,

Let’s sing that song!
