Oneness

I am the walking shadow that no one seems to recognize.
Like a ghost, I pass that none will see with their eyes.
Like a stranger, I am treated as if I am a mystery.
Come, my friend, across the hall, take a look at me.
I have love and beauty beyond the eye can see; I have a name.
Do not reside on top of the mountain for we are all the same.
Come and share this beauty with me; I am full of his love and grace. Listen to my heartbeat and the rhythm that leaves a trace.
Come and let us lie on the grass and gaze upon the countless stars. Come and share a laugh with me, so we can heal our hidden scars.
You pass by me each day with your mouth all askew.
I wanted to tell you so many times that the oneness is nothing new. Tomorrow when you pass by me, just smile
Because only to him, my friend, your smiles are worthwhile.
