One Poem: By Rafael Stoneman
Your beauty is One beauty
it is not male or female
it is sexless, like love
Your wisdom is One wisdom
it is not simple or complex

it is not true or false
it is mindless, like heart

it is not separate or individual
it is everywhere, like nature
Your ego is One ego
it is not mine or yours
it is the Divine, like everything
