Oneness Can Be Ours!

Oneness can be ours.

Walking into a room full of strangers

what is it that divides us, when we can see

our secret purpose together is love

conspiring in and among us?

When we come back to our natural ground.

Walking into a Maytime wood together

digging a firepit in virgin bracken

'The problem is not the earth', you say

'It is us'. And the birdsong agrees.

Playing music together

listening intently to each other's melody,

loosening our boxed edges...

And if we can learn to sing together

the way the Spirit of Fire made us

speak together all at once, and yet

each understanding each other's tongue—imagine

a circle where each of us sounds our note

one by one, high or low, all round its perimeter

then rising together in a single, harmonic shout of YES !
