separate

if the bee can't exist without the flower
and the flower can't exist without the bee
are they really
two separate things?

if we can't survive without food
and the earth grows our food
are we really
two separate things?

or could it be
an illusion of the senses?
of our minds and perception and perspectives?
a collection of ideas
that we've all agreed are true?

does having a separate name for everything we see
really make them separate?
saying that that is there and i am here
are here and there really two separate things?
are you and i really two separate things?

what if we weren't? how would we be?
to the flowers?
to the bees?
to the earth?
to each other?

what would it mean
to be all one thing?
