One
We speak of "one"
"The power of one," we say,
or, one love, or
one life.
We search all our lives
not for the nothing,
but for the one.
 
There is One.
One is real,
One is truth,
One is the way,
One stands in the gap
between nothing
and One.
 
One, it seems, is Three;
the riddle is sublime.
He is One, One is He.
He, the One, always was
and ever will be.
One, the Man:
Jesus.
