Leaving CoEmpathic Stems

Imagine yourself as a tree
with a leaf named Yang
connected to a branching twig named Yin,
having a sappy conversation 
about EarthMother's sacred trees 
of life 
and dormant death.

Do you think yintegrity's twig would want to correct YangLeaf’s beliefs
that life and death 
are climatic seasons 
of warming evolution and 
freezing devolution?
dormancy decomposing into further incarnations 
of Earth’s organic soul,
feeding Yang and Yintegral root systems 
of future tree’s healthy perennial growth?

Yet, for the leaf named Yang,
once separated from his crowning twig,
wealthy economic and political ego-life
is but one life nurturing season

before Yang's original fall
from yincarnate tree’s seasonal rings 
of revolutionary root systemic redevelopment

yet Yang's yintegral potential
remains engaged with resonant recircling evolution
of regenerative soil souled life
spanning many organic growing seasons

Life experienced as Yintegrity's twigged tree
thriving, then gradually slowing, 
within sacred EarthTribe's interdependent 
polyculturing forest.

And,
many thriving sacred seasons more,
interdependent ecological choices 
within Earth’s nutrient/boundary skin
of RNA/DNA scriptured 
wholy open spirited life

Further potential regenerations
of EarthMother's abundant
Yang/Yintegral
FatherSun/EarthMother-symbiotic 
enlightening/empowering love
of our co-evolving
cooperatively thriving 
tree of life

reincarnates each lonely leaf-devolving 
universal EgoYang v Yintegral unitarian 
tree of EarthTribal dissociative trauma.

Imagine EarthPeaceful healthy Yang
decomposing sunny fuel and wealth-nurturing compassion
deep listening for Yin’s wellness choiced root systems
forging future bilaterally co-intelligent
peak crown enlightening
less frightening 
thriving 
re-connecting Yintegral life
surviving fallen Yang apartheid death 

Re-ligioning root neuro-empowering systems
of sacred regenerate MotherTrees
supporting neurodiverse forest life 

actively curious
to support global-life transcending local-death
falling from sacred YinTegriTree
co-invested 
compassionately communal
reforesting ecologically economies
of cooperative organic resilience

As Yin bids farewell
to this year's falling Yang
winter hibernates
crown-dignified/root-worthy equi-valence

Mono/poly-theistic 
reconnecting interdependent trees
of +1 life reweaving -(-0) death
re-ligioning indigenously wise
co-binary preoccupations.

Yes, I'm feeling more like a leaf than a twig, much less an entire tree, right now. Mortality feels ambivalently, yet ubiquitously, close. So delighted that someone else enjoys this piece, as I do.
