A Refrain

Dance.

Different forms,

different styles,

but we're all dancing.

Song.

Different forms,

different voices,

but we're all singing.

Sport.

Different games,

different rules,

but we're all playing.

Food.

Different flavours,

different cuisines,

but we're all eating.

Language.

Different tongues,

different scripts,

but we're all speaking.

Earth.

Different weather,

different beings

living in the same nest.

And yet,

we get caught up in the differences,

forgetting that we're all in it together—

doing the very same things,

mistaking the trees for the forest.
