Tribe Poem
By Ben Whisman
~
- One is lonely, alone, solitary.
- Two are together, companions, a pair.
- Add more, as family and friends.
- Form an inner circle.
- It is the heart, the hearth.
- Keep the home-fire burning.
- Group the people round it.
- We form new friends.
- We form new families.
- We form the outer circle.
- It is our camp, home, community.
- It is our tribe.
- We form a new tribe.
- It is many friends and many families.
- We form something bigger together.
- We form a new tribe.
- We invite those who love and befriend us.
- We invite those who need us.
- Hearth and camp are our tribe.
- Our campfire lights the night.
- We bring light to shine and show the way.
