To Gladly Walk
If I could walk gladly
and talk not sadly
across this Earth
around our home,
our shared place
of sacred journeyed birth
and emergent democratic space,
I would.
Yet, not only could we walk
and talk
in Earth's dispassioned way,
Not only would you
and should we all--
but we do
already
This pilgrimage of growing attachment,
then adolescent competitions,
then co-acclimating
more mature
wiser self-interested consciousness
back through ancient cooperative journeys
into Earth's divine root systems
redefining multiculturally healthy communion
Where life networks prepare for final death
No more or less
than daily deaths to egotistic stuckness,
In illusions of human privileged apartheid
prepares us for Earth's further financial freeing
from right now responsibility,
loss of moral authority,
political fleeing
journey away from our global sacred space
integrity
in energy
through liturgy
for revolutionary complex spirals
of and for
Earth's most healing SafeHome interests
Humane, yet also divine, ecosystemic unveiling
within just-in-Time
redevelopment of cooperative communication
For walking gladly
and sadly not win/win
madly listening
not not badly hustling
just-right resonantly rustling
Through deep autumnal leave
and wrestling wide spring tides
and all Earth's awesome wonders
in-between Summer's passionately respirating heat
and Winter's synergetic deepest freeze.
