One mote
one note
one earth
one world
floating
pearl and blue
wholly
indivisible.
Bearer of life in this system
shouting through space,
by endless schemes we partition you:
Language. Colour, Coins..Philosophy. Faith.
But in the context of this universe
you are what you appeared to be
on that first flight out:
one world,
floating.
– H.F. de Pagter
