ONE’S WAY

I am I, and you are you,
And each of us is someone who
Uniquely owns a separate soul
And still belongs to but one whole.

How can it be that we’re apart?
Like single cells in the same heart,
We each contribute to its beat,
Like meters in this line of feet.

Now there’s the image that I sought,
The way to show how all’s well wrought:
The Universe is one great poem—
Sway to its beat and you’ll come home.
