Magic of One
I
All have experienced being One
Both Number1 & be-ing, becoming -
Sometimes we don't wish to remember
The loneliness of having reached Number1
"Pyrhic victory," its called, one and ALONE
II
Another way to become ...
Number One is: first to show warmth -
As in "encouragement;" Second, to atone
Listen: the word ATONEMENT - at-ONE-ment
Reveals much: human to human effort welcomed!
To be there! Not in word, but silent listening
For we have known how one person
Has made a lost day, the brightest, for any human
Reaching out. Empathy, yes, is prayer in motion
