A poem by Martyn Foster.
Interdependence
Like the full moon and a reflecting surface of a still lake
Like the wind and the windmill
The sun to the sunrise or sunset
The water to the river
The earth to the mountain
The soil to the vegetation
Interdependence
The inseparable binding of two things
Together, for all eternity
Relying upon each other
For strength and support
For love and care
Woven together with the silk and thread of the cosmos
Interdependence
Of parent and child
Of lover and loved
Of healer and healed
Of skies and stars
Of people and community
Of heart and compassion
The beginning comes full circle at the end
The cries of birth, the tears of grief
One cannot live without,
Like a body without a mind,
A spirit without a soul
A moment without an experience
Interdependence.
A poem by Martyn Foster.
