Rev. Gerald Dillenbeck Poet Political Verse

Health Investment

We have, I hear,
between each in-out breath,
only our integrity of potential wealth
for empowering health.

And so I feel compelled to ask,
What would it take
to draw us away
from our entertaining tools
and fascination with weapons?

To, instead, fall in love again,
with Gaian co-empowering outside healing places?

How will  we deeply learn 
HolySpirit
anima mundi romancing holonic living Nature,
health-wealthy relatedness,
ego individuation from eco-habitat
integrity and diversity
of our own sacred loving-kindness Nature?
Without an outdoor 
universal-unitarian
affluent-effluent love affair,
a sultry night time flirtation
with moonlight 
and stars bright.

What will you regret
as you lie dying
in a hospital room
drugged
and hooked up to communicating machines
more than communally interdependent organisms?

Perhaps having lost a bed of leaves
under long-loved oak trees,
raising your arms or branches,
as you are still able,
to kiss such ancient full moon light
still singing with our distant past and future
renewing moon starred-bright.
