Oneness by Dante Mottillo

Two paths connect and converge

And two voices sing out,

Steps and songs and sounds

Blend, mix, and marry

 

Into One.

 

One united front,

One voice,

One direction,

One dream,

One hope,

One love.

 

The I and You,

the They and Them,

are transformed:

 

We and Us,

together,

are One.

 

Walking in step,

Running in step,

 

Dancing

 

In beat and time

 

Linking our arms and our pasts

Towards the inevitable truth that

We are powerful,

Almighty,

And able to accomplish the impossible.

 

One direction,

One dream,

One world.

 

In unison and harmony

we shout and sing,

“We are one!

We are different,

We are together

And we are one!”

 

We steady our pace,

And cross the finish line.

Our destiny, our triumph,

Our victory, our glory,

Reached only because

 

We are one.

 

We are here,

We are united.

We are one.

We are one.

  1. Wow Dante. This was unexpected from you. I had to read it a couple times to actually accept that you wrote it. I enjoyed reading it. I can tell there is quite a bit of emotion in this, and you took time for it. I enjoy seeing that you used reality and not someones fantasy to do this.

    Thank you. I know it’s not some of my usual work, because it was for the World Harmony Run event, and I was asked to do a poem for it. Thanks though, I’m glad people like it, and reality seemed like the best way to work it.
