All and One

On a perfectly proportioned majestic throne 
resides the one who knows
of time and space, of love and fear - building blocks from which we grow

From ancient starlit forests through to daily sunny norms
the power arrives in textured waves
to charge our dust filled forms

And inside the ash burnt crystals, of a timeless, white charcoal sun
dark energy weaves between the light
- the elements of all, and one

And as we search for a shard of truth in an ocean, big as a planet
how come we always look outward from 
our triangle of living granite

This pyramid shape is vastly more, important than previously thought
its pinnacle contains a watching eye
in all directions, free or bought

And its gravity, the pull of which, keeps us firmly grounded
if it didn’t exist, then a different life 
is certain to be founded

It lives atop a majestic throne, but cannot be seen by the many
who search with unconditioned eyes
that think that they are ready

But who are we, to think we are, less important than we know
it won’t be long, until such truths
are uncovered as we grow

So maybe one day, we can become, even more than what we think
until that time arrives, we’ll still search 
for a non-existent missing link

All and one

Superb write and a most exceptional poem Julie!! I thoroughly enjoyed it. I rated you a "7" on this work. I find your metaphor of the "majestic throne" and the development of it to be quite enchanting. I also sense and see the linkage (I believe) to a higher level of spiritualism which people with "unconditioned eyes" lack in our present world of "everydayness." Anyway, a beautiful write!! All the best. Cheers, Gary
