Center To Surface

There are many layers
To what we label as harmony
Among every
Country
Species
Culture
Race

At the hub
Respect
Not gained through force
But through understanding
The needs
The lifestyles
The living

Next
A coating of truth
Not fabricated
Real
Elusive

Then
A sheet of optimism
The future
A destination
Learning from prior
Misfortunes and mistakes
Human slip-ups

Harmony's skin
Is composed
Of an array of elements
Nature's beauty
The illumination
Of life's existence

The ability
To cherish
The capability
To acknowledge being cherished

Serenity
As well as
Disorder
The fundamental nature
Of expression

Relinquish
Glory
Flag
Authority

And last
Most significantly
Allow
The world
To understand
That
Harmony knows
And has
No shape
No sex
No colour
