One Time Poem by JJ Evendon

One Time



If nothing moved in the universe
were would time be?
What if the whole universe was a sum, a measurement of 'one'
and, if that 'one' was measured as a single movement of time -
unable to replicate itself - then what?
Everything that was, is and will happen, has already happened in that 'one' movement.
To move away from the question would be impossible as,
the question will always remain - as would the answer.
No matter how many 'ones' we add: minute, hour, day, week, month or year, it counts for nothing.
For, there cannot be more than one if 'one' is itself.
We travel along a single timeline - not two or three -
and are all part of 'one'.
But, if 'one' is made of many parts then, can it be - 'one'?
Only 'time' can answer that one.
