Advent of Lent
All that waits within me
unfulfilled
Awaits within you
Together
appreciating what we could become
like advent
awaiting a great transformational revolution
restoring peace through inside
outside co-arising justice
But also like lent
preparing for Bad Friday,
a revolution of deadly terror
destroying ego's last fragments
of unchanging stasis inside
outside co-arising climates
individuating identity
In all that longs lonely within you
unfulfilled
Awaits within me
on back to original regenerators
waiting
changing
waiting
breathing in
changing directions
breathing out
waiting
breathing in belonging
waiting
once again together
When all Earth's voices wait within us
unfulfilled
I feel wrong to break my silence
When beauty invites solidarity,
commands more than limp tolerance
of nature's diversity,
regenerates celebration of integrity
felt
breathed
beat
surfed
sung
beatified.
