THERE MAY BE ONE

A vision of the one, the other
Came to me last night in the shape
Of roundness, brownness, smoothness
No nationality, no borders
Able to give and receive pleasure
Comfortable in her own skin
Embodies wholeness, oneness
There is a sweetness and a toughness
She doesn't take any shit!

She mirrors by reflecting and deflecting
Loves herself and all travelers
Allows for healing but doesn't stray
Understands fragility and weakness
Provides goddess like strength!
Lives with an open heart
Breaks down and gets back up
Sees the past present and future
In every blessed moment!

There may be one, and there is
I know it! She exists in every woman
I see her! On the train, in books
In movies, in dreams, in poems
On the street, in my daughters eyes
And in the beloved, often disguised
If only it were revealed, unveiled
By every woman man-child alive,

There could be unity, peace on earth!

There may be one and there may be many
I have my eyes peeled, my heart open
I have doubt, yes, and I have faith
The great mother has me in her arms
Giving me determination to yield
I succumb! I am on my knees!
Plant a tender kiss on my forehead
Out of it I will grow strong from your loving touch
I will be whole again, I will be home!

In the name of universal suffering,

For those of us who are bereft,
Who yearn for the mother's touch
Let us bow down and touch the earth
Supplicate in surrender and sacrifice,
Give great thanks for the goddess within,
The other emerging as if from a dream,
And the awakening spirit all around us.
May we all be one!
