One

Suzanne Goewert

This isn’t temporary;
it’s a constant given
that is never missing;
our oneness with divinity
hasn’t ever left us—
it’s perfectly tangible:
God’s ever-good gift to all,
Life’s divine Christly sense
of intact, immortal existence,
reflected, ever-spiritual being,
pure, unchangeably beautiful;
it’s rediscovered as we listen
and so humbly learn from Love
that we’re one in this allness,
this living Truth, all-harmonious,
and that there isn’t any distance.
