One — Poem by Edward O’Byrn

At the base of the Tree of Life
Sits a Being for all eternity
Near the roots of all that is
The One encompasses the purity

Of each ever morphing leaf
All designed by the same principal
Evolved from a simple bud
Grown from a love so fundamental

A love known to every being
Laying dormant in every cell
Given by every wave at sea
To the sand beneath each shell

Each leaf will leave his brethren
After facing the test of time
Gliding till they hit the ground
Landing at the Being’s side

Greeted by a glowing essence
Warner than any embrace or kiss
A being with no face, race, or creed
Just an understanding of all that is
