Rev. Gerald Dillenbeck Poet Parallelismus Membrorum

Sage Prayers, Muse Medications

Prayer talks
reflective love passion

Meditation walks
responsive life pleasure

Prayer is meditation
as cognitive life images intuitive love

Sometimes reduced to words
attempting to define 
purposeful reality

Sometimes induced without awkward words
refining organic life's creation
of meaningful relationships

Reforming 
disorganizing death's abortion
of meaningless non-relationship.

Reducing inductive meditations
to produce deductive reflections
may lead to seductive mystic paradox

Redacting
distracting
retraction

The silent Muse
may deeply feel
desecrating death's inevitable cause
remains organic life

While the prayerful Sage
may profoundly believe
organic life's unavoidable effect
portends desecrating death.

Life's absence
does not always provoke beating hearts
to grow fonder

Yet love's presence
is always necessary,
and yet insufficient,
to avoid life's organic losses.

Natural life's spiritual love
feels like something healthier 
than unnatural death's desecrating lovelessness.

If "lovelessness" is not a proper prayerful word,
could this be because loveless meditations
remain so relentlessly still
abortively unspoken,
Earth life's integrity denied?

Sage prayers acknowledge personal 
and environmental
trauma
causing disturbingly dissonant effects

while

Meditating muses recognize longer-term personal
and climate-aborting political 
silencing systems
of deadly desecrating disgrace.

So too,
we may sagely anticipate personal redemptive
blessed events
and also amusing longer-term environmental
and deeper bred political 
salvific climate wealth systems
loving sacred living grace.
