One–dVerse Poetics

I am
majestic oak’s cool shade,
the sweltering heat in summer’s glade.

I am
the homeless man you passed,
the rich one who gave of his last.

I am
the flowering cherry tree,
the dandelion’s seed set free.

I am
the widow, fearful and alone,
the youth, whose life has just begun.

I am
the rainfall and the earth,
the sun and wind and blazing hearth.

I am
the saint and seeker, lost,
all those confused, in myst’ry tossed.

I am
the darkest new moon night
and morning’s gentle kiss of light.

You’ll find
at last when life is done,
when shadows lift, we are but one.
