Room At the Silent Cross

How could an established Muse
sing and dance 
invisibly transparent?

What could a mute Muse
not sound like?

Absence, without/within contentment
Neglect, without/within benign compassion
Divestment, with out/in co-investment history
Loss, without/in gain
Trauma, without/in therapeutic intent
Dissonance, without/in harmony
Risk, without/in opportunity
Sadness, without/in gladness
Negative, without/in positive
Unease, without/in health
Disability, without/in wealth
Disempowerment, without/in prosperous governance
Pathology, without/in healing
Darkness, without/in enlightenment
BiPolar division, without dipolar double-bind

Where we remain still
in silent loving room
at divine humanity's cross

For natural with out/in spiritual you
ecological with out/in theological
non-anthrosupremacist
rightbrain compassionate
communicating Me with out/in We
bicameral Left with out/in Right
interdependent Thee.

What is our healthiest last choice
between seamless engagement,
vicarious with out/in personal entertainment,
and ubiquitous 
ambiguous secular with out-fear/in-anger purpose
sacred win/win body/mind life/love meaning
silent nonchoices with out-longing/in-belonging voices?
