Harmony
Mel, 26 — Fremont, California
I close my eyes
And try to find
The harmony inside me
Look harder! My mind
Instructs
Look deeper? My heart
Suggests
It’s right here. My gut
Points
Rachel, 25 — London, England
I don’t know if you’ll ever know that I wrote this for you, and it doesn’t matter.
I love, feel, and want you.
Sebastian, 24 — Padova, Italy
That what this wave desires
Is more than my body
But to tear apart,
Me
I realize: I have no power
Amidst this wave of sublime
My body relaxes, I relax
I am no longer an object
For the wave to tear apart
But am,
A part
The strength of the current now behind me
I and it
As two, as one,
In harmony
The pressure of this surge remains heavy
On my shoulders
But at las(t),
It is no burden
For I have remembered that,
I can breathe underwater.
Samson, 24 — Boston, Massachusetts
But even with the curtains drawn
I can feel our entangled souls continuing to rock
To this flawless harmony
in the warm orange spotlight
Oh, how I wish our stop is never the next one.
Jordan, 17 — Florida
"In my semi-hopeless longing for all of humankind to live in unity, I find myself noticing the small things, wanting to share the small things. Because to me, they aren't at all small things. They're huge."
Kenzi, 24 — Brooklyn, New York
“It is in these early morning moments when I feel most at peace, before any thoughts of what I need to do, where I need to go, or who I need to be creep in. What I’m thinking, doing, and saying are in perfect harmony. These are moments I want to stay in forever.”
Dennis, 24 — Valencia, Spain
Harmony is a game
Played only in silence
When the wind strikes a bell
Or lovers say I do
Time melts away
Life stands still
The presence of joy
Emerging within you
