The Oneness of Everything Jim Scott c 1988
Far beyond the grasp of hands, or light to meet the eye,
Past the reaches of the mind
There find the key to nature's harmony
In an architecture so entwined.
Like the birds, whose patterns grace the sky
And carry all who join in love, expanding,
The message of peace will rise in flight
Taking the weight of the world upon its wings,
In the oneness of everything.
Peace is in the dance of trees
Who stir before the first breath of wind is yet perceived
Trust in the song, becoming one with the dance,
And all mysteries can be believed.
Songs of lives long past who touch our own
Are written in the earth forever giving.
And now to maintain the harmony
Gives to us all lives worth living
For the oneness of everything.
Still we seek to find a truth that we might understand,
And reduce to terms defined
Vast and immeasurable time and space
All so overwhelmingly designed.
Oh passing years, just might I know the faith
That winters in the heart to be reborn in Spring.
To hear and to feel the pulse of life
Enters my soul as a song to sing,
Of the oneness of everything.
