Borders

Look at the world with fresh eyes of the morning

See it with the dew of the day

Lines stretch and encircle

The creatures that live and stay

From the sea we watch

The ebb and flow of the tide

The sand worn and eroded

Caressed by waves that abide

Look, Avatar! At the heavens above

Sun ripples its colors as it sets into the night

From warm day to cool dusk

To paint the sky with indigo twilight

Do you see the lines that crease and form?

Lines bridge, touch and play

Heaven borders Earth

And Night caresses Day

A child is born into the world

And a man's light has fade

Male joins with female

And light rests with shade

Look at the borders around you Avatar

Cross the worlds that you see

Become black and white

Become a small brook and a tall tree

Die and live again and again

babe to youth to man

Grow with love and strength

And be swept away by death's own hand

Touch the lines that touch you

Avatar my friend

Cross the borders that cross you

Forever until time's end
