All One

A testament to the unity of origins.

It’s all one,
the collapsing wave,
the roaring engine,
the sun-baked rock,
the clap of thunder
right after the lightning,
and now the darkness.

Oh, the relief
as I draw a deep breath!
Ah, the peace
as I exhale my fear!

Me, floating,
on the ocean –
together we sway
back and forth,
back and forth,
back and forth,
until we become
one.
