UNITY

The toad beneath the harrow knows
Exactly where each tooth-point goes.
The butterfly upon the road
Preaches contentment to that toad.
We climb the mountain -
We seek the fountain.

The jewel within the lotus knows
Just whence the living water flows.
Enlightened people think it's cruel
Not to enlighten that poor jewel.
We climb the mountain -
We seek the fountain.

We are the true embodiment
Of everything that's excellent
Save for the gritty tragic flaw
That rubs our oyster belly raw.
We climb the mountain -
We seek the fountain.

We start a totipotent cell
And plod through multivalent hell.
We grow in body and in soul,
Always racing toward our goal.
We climb the mountain -
We seek the fountain.

I'm not the same as you at all;
My gifts are precious, yours are small,
Except the few that complement
My gifts - and those are heaven-sent.
We climb the mountain -
We seek the fountain.

Nobody knows just how I feel,
Nobody else is really real.
Nobody knows the trouble I've seen -
I don't know just what you mean.
We climb the mountain -
We seek the fountain.

But as we near the mountain peak
I see you seeking what I seek.
Though you climbed up a different way,
We seek the same unending day.
We climb the mountain -
We seek the fountain.

And when we reach the mountaintop -
nada, nada, nada -
There's nothing there, we dare not stop -
nada, nada, nada -
The differences that made us real -
nada, nada, nada -
Clash with the oneness that we feel-
nada, nada, nada.

And there's but one way - up and out.
That's what it's all been all about -
OMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
