Unending Length and Strength
Modern poetry modern verse contemporary poetry contemporary verse modern poem contemporary poem
If Buddha be correct that everything
Is One, the universe, the cosmos, Soul,
That all be unity and all these sing
In unison, not harmony, the Whole,
That voice of Seraphim on wings of fire
Is one with calm Nirvana and is One
With Allah, Christ, Jehovah, the entire
Divinity and all creation spun
Together so completely that they are
Not many but eachunifiedcomplete
So indivisible that they are far
From split, split, split, that they are not a suite . . .
But float forever . . . as a Oneness wide,
Then We can let that be our inner guide.
