All or One

All or One
Each one
is like
a precious
jewel,
continually
fashioned by
a higher hand(s),
hewn,
turned,
sculpted,
etched,
watered,
tumbled,
mined -
whatever the particular case may be: individually.
There is
a wisdom
in this
that no-one
knows and
cannot spell,
but the
higher hand(s)
to which
the face
is drawn -
seeking,
asking,
pining,
hurting,
illumining,
wondering,
and finally -
seeing -
that all of this pain is about divining,
and that somebody up there does like you,
after all, each and every one of you, All or one.
