Why Believe?

If you close your eyes
Your heart, your ears
Let the stillness and the void
Overwhelm you, shut your mind,
Your sense of being, your feelings
Cut off from this existence
You still exist.
Something I don't know
Connects us, binds us, keeps us whole
As atoms in a molecule
As drops in an ocean
We are single, we are one
Apart and together, individual and collective
The same song of existence sings
In a choir of humanity
Each voice whole, each note separate
But the melody and harmony
Become the ray of existence
The path of growth
The timeless dream
The veiled reality
