first among equals

and then She spoke
of the way -
'live and let live
is the only way -
for you're all just fireflies
dancing in the dark,
looking for something
you already have;
there are no shadows
in the dark,
where every thing
simply rests in itself,
on the fragile wings
of equality,
taking you on a quest
to make your way,
to leave no trace
for another to follow,
just your own way
woven with others,
through endless space -
the way to dance
to a silent song
of light and dark,
on wings that never touch
even as they touch;
for there is no first,
among equals.'
