atom

One

 ...particle

One seed, one tree

One forest on one planet

Revolving in orbit

Around one sun

(a star)

We live on a world

…rich with diversity

Interesting interactions, we refer to as…

Variety

In a sense we exist …in a bubble+envelope

We call …individuality

The duality of being …within ones shell

While orbiting about …a greater humanity

Of which we play an integral part

Of the so many ways…

We

Are

One

Of many dimensions

The advent of a birth of any living thing natural

 Is brought to bear by another living thing

Which in some way …cares for the being it has become

We rise and fall together

The sum of …our living hearts

Being replicated by the one

 (call it mom?)

Or  if you’d prefer

…call it GOD

 

We

Are  

Not

 Alone

In a forest of echoes

Our voice is heard

With… others

Alike  …and different

Others of our kind

We call people

Groups united by birth, blood …and association

Are our families

Groups of which are considered

…nations…

Who we are …one

Is not the same as being …alone

Life does not present itself that way

 

One sound …not music

One bird …one frog, one snake.

One tree?

 

No one …is alone

Although separated by misery and suffering

We find religion in ourselves

To remind us…

Starting with…

 One

We become whole

Not unto ourselves

But collectively

By the individuality

By which our collective sense of self

Becomes expressed

As diversity

 

Better than…

 

The

Monotone

 

Starting …and ending

With one

 

Meaning

Only the last of …these

Surviving

 

One

 

…with

 

No hope

 

…with

 

No faith

 

…with

No way out

No prayer

 

…nowhere to go…

 

 

We rebuild this universe

 

With one…particle

With parts we construct to make

One…

  

Atom

 

Until one…

Atom becomes one molecule

One molecule becomes

 

More…

Than one, alone

However many tries

It takes us…

 

We join them to become greater

 

Until one…

Becomes we

Until…

 

We

 

Become One…
