I heard a symphony today,
Whose notes were all off key.

I saw a collage of hearts,
Pasted together with courage.

I swam in a sea of tears,
Tears of joy and pain.

I felt the vibrations of the volcano,
Whose little eruption did escape.

I watched the birds as they tried to soar.

I felt the beating hearts,
All beat as one.

I saw the faces with so much beauty,
In each and every one.

I met strangers who are closer,
Than my oldest friends.

We own our circle, It's ours alone.
Unique this will remain.
