The heart loves unity. The mind loves diversity. The body settles for flattery.
Counting to One
How many skies
has the boomeranging
moon flown over?
One, which breathes.
How many lives
have you and I lived?
One, deepening inside
births and deaths.
How many humans
are in the world?
One, with splendidly
many bodies and souls.
How many religions
are there?
One, tucked into
softest of hearts.
How many universes?
Count to one
until the stars
fall out of it.
How many questions
are there?
One big one.
What is the question?
That's it.
*******
