Musical Chairs

What I appreciate about playing musical chairs

This game is less about sitting around in chairs
and more about the traumatic absence 
of safe secure chairs

And these chairs are silent as a conspiracy;
not the least bit musical,
as curiously advertised.

What I like about musicals

Song and dance musicals
re-image
re-frame sacred liturgical refrains,
ancient sensory investment strains
and quieter gospel remains

Not LeftBrain dominant analysis
of either factually True
or predictably
inevitably False
betrays a pious paucity
of heart-song feelings,
hungry to become wellness fed
and wealthy watered

RightBrain muse ruminates
illuminates a sacred music Chorus
of happy singing
dancing stars
emerging in sudden godlike baritones
magic deep rooted
in manhood bases

And EarthMother ferocious
feminist
flirtatious faces
wise to know felt resonance
origins of praise
and dirges,
comedic and traumatic operas
dark staged demanding despair
while circle singing 
in splattering rain

Earth's sacred show
goes on dawn through dusk refrains
while liturgically dancing
life's win/lose tragic evolutions
and win/win comedic revolutions.

Maybe birds first sang sacred heart songs
with highly secular
transparent flight
and vulnerable frights
mindful might choreographed
lexicon of morning spirited 
mourning natured EarthMuse

Waiting for our next healthy highest
and wealthy best unconditional warm
co-passionate use
for a win/win sexy/sacred
therapeutic music comedy

Wherein everyone deeply moves
to-gather harvest
and widely means
to spring out and up
what we most sacred voice
as sensual dancing
EarthFirst Musical Choice

To stop pulling chairs
out from song
and dancing Other.
