Shotgun Journey
As absence finds us silently saying goodbye
to everyone,
farewell to every place and memory I cherish
And absent any voluntary theological plans
in conscious development
to leave us with your absence
of both mind and body,
Pay close attention,
fully invest in,
what feels salutary,
salvific,
benign beauty,
peaceful healing
While calmly noting
what feels involuntary
and threatening,
unfair loss.
And, where you may hear
and see
and feel
All of holonic integrity above
Winning anything
but decomposing Loser usual
When absence of co-passion
finds us quietly saying goodbye
to every reductive relationship,
Farewell to each degenerative place
theology could never cherish.
Internal climates
reflecting external ages,
Ecological era of trees
engaging theological forest sages.
