Life is a voyage from one to many back to one again

Poem Artwork

First Things First


 


A dream by one;


Sensed by many,


Same old story


Told and retold.


 


Religion invented by man,


Representing one reality of God.


Words spoken by man,


Representing many realities.


 


Arguments created by man,


About the truth of many things,


Taking us back


To a single dream.
