The Blue Forest Book by Smith bookcover
WE BELONG TOGETHER
Driving one day in the city, I saw
in a library window a sign reading
WE BELONG TOGETHER.
A warm hand,
a hand of human language,
reached up
to touch my heart.
It was as if some split-off
lost side of myself had spoken.
What Eros in the story those three words tell. 
Imagine if we took them for our message,
could anything stop us?
What if we came
together around the shared beauty
of who we really are,
beyond labels and identity?  
If we said “We belong together”
and meant it,
think what we could do.
                  – Thomas R Smith
