Integrity of Forests
Students enjoy a question
often wisely asked
especially of teachers
parents
and preachers
who seem not too often recall
curious younger learners,
deep listeners
If I must choose
which to trust,
your words without compliant
healthy resilient action,
OR your less mindful actions
not supported by your invocations
for divinely healing reactions,
Like telling your kids not to smoke
in-between stinky toxic puffs,
Which will have primary influence,
and which a wider and less deep
secondary smoke screen
of ambivalence
where we had hoped for integrity?
I question how to safely and astutely trust
a source of incompatible verbose
and poignant inaudible messages
brought by legs with feet,
arms with hands,
minds with hearts,
rooted nutritional systems
with sensory complex faces.
What primal communications
are most likely
to miss communion's full
of grace potential?
Our more obvious EarthTribal point,
we deeply trust only Earth's naturally
spirited resources,
healing advocates,
ecological green nurturing leaders,
indigenous species of integrity
Like trees
bushes
plants,
blessing soil
water
breezes in integral, sacred forests,
beautiful and true
trusted green
not mean in
and not relentlessly blue
breath out
Where healthy deeds
and safely consilient
brilliant
refulgent
resilient communications
are integral,
confluent,
in sync with humane
and divine local
through global
green EarthWealth care
For upright inaudible meaning
with downleft poetic purpose.
