Same // Difference

A poem from the upcoming poetry book

The world is a place of awkward dimensions.
The world as I see it, constantly changes.
Like tides and seasons, ebbing and flowing.
Like breath, in and out, in and out.
Yet no two waves make the same splash
And no two breaths breathe the same air
And no two hearts beat the same blood
Although the rhythms can sync and become One.

Bring me to any mountain, ocean, or stream,
I’ll show you what I mean.
The moments we spend here will hardly be wasted
For the vision we’ll gain and the stories we’ll tell
Of the sights that we see, and flavors we smell
Will pile upon experience, like bales of golden hay
And we’ll sing and dance as we realize:

Every life, day, and moment
Is always different,
and always the same.
