They Are As Us

At the base of every discovery
to the most attenuate reality
for the whole life that will remain
every being can illuminate
and to give form our small world
and to give form our small brain
to the distorted thought
to the distorted pain
but splendidly strong inside

they are as us
they are around us
they are inside us
they are as us

the endless need of life
the endless need of love.
