One

Two pairs of wings

Chasing in the sunlight

Such a sight, sheer delight

Endless shades of green

Soaking up the sun

All branches raised

Reaching for the One

And the sound of their silence

Song of the universe

Whisp’ring in harmony

The Name of the Holy One.

O mighty One

Eternally, constantly the source

Spirit of all that has become

O mighty One

I pray that I become

One with thee

When the right time comes.

Crawling tiny creatures

Lining up the tree trunk

Each carrying the world

On its back.

How strong they are

They never falter

Coz they breathe

Sacred name of the One.

Rustling wings

Sighing sea tides

Crying newborns

Hearts beating compassion

Mothers singing lullabies

In a myriad of tongues

Creatively

Speak of the One.
