Dancing leaves

A tribute to autumn's farewell

One is the beginning,

The source from which all springs

The foundation of all counting

And the first of everything.

It is a solitary number,

Standing alone and strong

A symbol of unity

And of singularity's song.

It is the root of all creation,

The building block of life

A representation of uniqueness

And of infinity's strife.

One is a constant reminder

Of the power of a single soul

To change the world forever

And to make it whole.

From the smallest seed to the tallest tree,

From the tiniest atom to the vastest sea,

From the first breath of a newborn child,

To the last gasp of the dying wild.

One is the center of everything,

The nucleus of all that we see

The essence of all existence,

The alpha and the omega, the A and the Z.

So let us cherish the number one,

And all that it represents

The power of a single action,

And the hope that it presents.

For in this world of chaos,

Where division and discord reign,

We can find our way back to unity,

Through the power of the number one.
