Oneness

by Odin odin@aflx.com — Read all 3,869 poems by Odin odin@aflx.com

To know someone who is struggling with the self-alienation is to know a Christina of the world… a being reaching out. (Painting by Andrew Wyeth)

Poem Artwork

 

Oneness

 

When oneness is but one,

The planet seems overwhelming.

 

To be at one

With all there is,

To know you are

A part of the one,

Gives a feeling of life.

 

Such a vastness of hope,

This speck called earth,

Yet…

 

The vibration of connection,

That knowing you are somehow

A significant part of the world’s whole,

Is such a roar of silence,

A musing for the impossible

Made real by the gentle muting

Of the aura,

That indescribable

Undulation of aliveness

That becomes so precious

In one’s distant memory,

That for the moment

Oneness has become

But one

Becoming a nothingness.

 

Such is the loneliness

Of the survivalist’s pause,

The hesitancy to reach out again,

To regurgitate the bile,

The painful compromises

That have left one as part beingness

 of nothing.

 

Oh…

 

For the privilege of being

At one with all again.

 

Just once more.

Intriguing opening line for this poem: "When oneness is but one. . . " I also did a poem, can't remember the title, where I used this very Andrew Wyeth painting. The poem deeply introspective and moving.

We are born alone and we will die alone is a quote from someone I don't remember but it suits your poem because we are all individuals and really alone with our thoughts. But when we interact with others become part of a earthly synergy that makes all of us one. But many do not see it and want to separate themselves and their clans from the rest in nationstates, political groups, or religions. According to your poem, to stand apart from all of that is what makes our world world.
