Life and Death Perspectives

Psychologists,
sociologists,
anthropologists,
and theologians, curiously,
are more likely to confuse the tragic end of humanity
with the end of EarthLife's developmental 
and sacred significance.

Environmentalists,
holistic ecologists,
integral biologists,
students of pre-historic religious re-connecting rapture
are less likely
to collapse the sacred rebirthing value of all life systems
into a monopoly game for supporting anthrolife,
both godless and goddessly,
both loveless and lovely,
both lost and found,
both barely tolerated and gracefully esteemed,
both survived today and thriving toward tomorrows

A wider multicultural awareness
of healthy wealthy ecosystems
is less likely to reduce all wise cultural values
omitting pre-verbal and pre-anthro history
of life and death experiences,

Never alphabetized
or quantified 
by retold human history
of anthro-regenerative life
and degenerative biosystemic death narratives.

Life as regenerating love experience,
death as lost and degenerating images
of future inside-only integrally known events;
These two, 
ecto-present life and endo-future death,
are much older
hoary
ancient,
more sacred, divine memory
than mere human monopolistic imaging
of Earth's imagined bio-health value 
for future opportunities 
for extractive dissonance,
and for resonant
regenerative resilience

Re-imagining life and death
histories of EarthLove
told and untold
evokes verbal thoughts
about feeling ecologically connected,
theologically re-connecting 
reverberating sacred Words of Promise

Premise dancing rituals,
sung and whistled and chirped and roared exclamations,
eulogies and echoing celebrations

Of Earth re/de-generative creation
in and through spiral cycles,
power and light re/de-volution 
of dying life
and death reviving.
