29 January 2019

The Truth of the One

We each live in our own way
   and we look different when we pray

It might be in search for beauty
   or it could be doing our heartfelt duty

It might be in accordance with a religion
   or it could be following a God-given vision

When we think them to be opposites
   how misunderstood it is!?

The truth of the One
   which I know to be everyone

Seeks expression in every way
   and happily,
      we look different when we pray

- Saroush Zand, URI Aarhus CC, Denmark
