Kissed by the Same Sun

Born of the same womb
Onto the same stage
Stretched on the same loom
Etched on the same page

Anointed with one oil
Appointed the same deeds
Sown of the same soil
Grown of the same seeds

Kissed by the same sun
Wet by the same rain
Onto the earth spun
Each with a new name

All born of one soul
Under the same sky
Darkening clouds toll
End to the sweet sigh

Different the choices
Unequal the scale’s eye
Thunderous voices
Asking the word “Why”

Born of the same womb
Singing the same tune
Death sends us all back
Into the same tomb

Elizabeth Santos

BRAVO!!! Oh Elizabeth, I too think this is a unique style for you, but this is wonderful and so very true, for we are all share the same joys and miracles of life and we all come and go from same points of origin! (kiss on cheek) This is wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Elizabeth, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Elizabeth
This is a neat experiment different than your usual but excellent all the same.
It's too true....from womb to tomb  you got that right. What one does in between is the important thing.....Thanks!

Perfect description of each individual. Like the old adage: You’re unique… Just like everybody else.

Enjoyed the read.

I wonder how much grief could be avoided if we all remembered just how much we have in common. *S* I like this very much! *S*
