We Are As Many

By Gerard Traub

We are as many 

as we are one

a myriad of stars

another dawning sun

we are an array of petals

that emblazon each flower

of countless moments

unfolding every hour.

We are works of fire

breathing endless tides

the rise of mountains

shaping valleys wide

we are immeasurable

in all worlds to come

we are as many 

as we are one.
