Rapture
No one speaks of Rapture
anymore
What could one say
short of singing
and dancing
graceful tandem play?
Even evangelists
seem less sure
Rapture is a grace-filled promise
of reward for virtue
and not merely a hell-fire threat
to punish capital idolatry,
greedy sophistry
Wondering whether global Rapture
is more a sacred blessing
and less an inhumane curse
against our ignorant enemies
Or somehow both therapy
and trauma
depending on the day
and divides
and polarizing history
of secular dark unholy Truth
devoid of sacred Beauty
Antithesis to EarthTribe Rapture
which would feel more inclusively therapeutic
in all the great divine
dark
deeply hidden
genderal places
AND humane
co-infested
communion spaces
Ecstasy of empowerment
and integrity of enlightenment
tracing back through
Her synergetic win/win history
of not 0-sum synergy
Yintegral Yang mystery
wu-wei hypostatic union
win/win co-redemptive Rapture
of non-violent communication
practice
ComPassion praxis
rituals of co-empathic communion,
mountain shading valley
Transcendently omnipotent strength
embracing immanently omnipresent flow
back and forth
down and up
past and future
Sun Light and EarthPeace Powers
reproducing seasons
and reasons
anticipating hard polarities
passion curious holistic
remedies for mortal terror.
Rapture
of secular filthy fecund mind
greets sacred fertile body
meets mindful truths
of boundless EarthTribe beauty.
