I Want All of Us

I want all of us
To start talking about this
Great Love.

As if you, I and the Sun
Were all married
And living in a tiny room,
Helping each other to cook,
Do the wash,
Weave and sew,
Care for beautiful animals.

We all leave each morning
To labor on Earth's field.
No one does not lift a great pack.

I want all of us
To start singing as a group
Of traveling minstrels
About this extraordinary existence
We share.

As if
You, I and God
Are all married
And living in a
Tiny room.
