Prayer To Earthpowered Time

Forgive me for sleeping while you weep, for breathing while you wilt, for beating strong and true without you, foregiven free. Challenge us to never swim or fly without you to dream in Win to Win rich blues for love's lusty heroic trust. Redeem me for winning on backs aching with loss, disharmonic dross, children drifting out to sea, sons and daughters with no sure home save hunger to live free. Gratitude me with my up-front deposit in a rich-nurtured wombing sea, each choice specific to how I might me, a fairly well-fed lottery ticket avoiding large drafts of violence, ballistic anger and fear seasoned with sorrow for a tomorrow without reasonable hope of better than today or last, a chronic path of overpopulated messages that black and brown and red and unhealthy victims, both oppressed and oppressors, do not matter, stealthy violent understory of how we eat our young before they can learn to fly together in deep ecology. Know me, your nature's genetic parasite afraid of my own absorption within your wild regenetic forest time of loss and decay where I sleep to the beat of a defenseless child born too soon for time's welcoming embrace, born without a culturally significant face that splatters through our dull history's consciousness, no matter if some grow fatter while flowers wilt and next year's seeds cease speaking to our trees. Free me, from our relentless injustice, for placing lack of empathy where surplus of decadent antipathy for you, for us, together, breathed and smoldered more addictively, relentlessly burning out warrior children's hearts born in empathic infant love with EcoWe rebirthing through full-passionate integrity as covered by EgoMe, free from investing in slow ego-death silo of quietly unmindful mediocrity free to build Earth's Beloved incubator nest dreaming-webbing life as RealTime's space to be, letting go of life alone at sea to disinvest from fear of death as EarthTribal We, eternally reconnecting EgoMe to echo Earth's harmonic frequency, to dance as solar WeSelf-optimizing light of cosmic freedom with full live-power to feel each EcoYou within EcoWe.
