The bones are all five
Everything is in its proper place; all parts are accounted for
And, honey, we are one
We are united; we are a cohesive unit
Lizards eat the flies
Predators consume prey; the natural order of things
Moving with the sun
Following the rhythms and patterns of nature; embracing change and movement
