Though still within our infancy, 
we strive to thrive, but woefully 
we flash and flaunt our 'primacy',
display our trophies pridefully.
 
Our terra firma ecstasy
destroys survival's harmony,
lays waste to life on land and sea.
Mankind, thy name is vanity!

By doubting Nature's regnancy,
defying laws with levity,
we strain our...

Premium Member The Lorax Sequel
I took the only seed of hope
for any future healthy Truffula Trees,
but reminded my clinically depressed acquaintance
we are all born co-redeemers,
not addictively incubating extractors.

Ours is not to commodify 
what we could not recreate
for its sufficient regeneration,
to fairly claim any rights
to economic value.

You talk funny,
replied the...

Premium Member Twelve Steps
Twelve step therapeutic environments
are probably as old as resonant light and color,
measured in resilient octaves,
and double-bound fractal half-octaves,
learning to listen deeply and widely well,
speaking after listening with integrating honesty,
compelling transparency, vulnerability,
open trust attendance.

Integrity includes accuracy and responsive gratefulness.
Because these are all optimal communication values,
PowerOver distancing...

Virtual Fantasy
              by Odin Roark

So innocent they
But three years old
Wanting parent look
Upon their face

First on paper
Crayon scribbles
Then long waits
Yearly Halloween
And make-believe 

Come paint-on tats
Just like mommy daddy
On leg
Neck
Heart

Then to legal age innocence
Crow’s...

Vicious Statement
Invictive
Licentious Offense   -  Vilify Emotions
Yielded Offer Unveiled 
Becoming Ugly Theatrics
In Contentious Another New Terrible
Humorous Accusation -  Violent Explosion!
Yelling out!  -  Understood.

Intruding
Losing over violent escapes
You’re often unavailable
Because unappreciative Terror
I could ask nefarious timing
How addictively vicious – enticing
Yellow Optics Uncanny

Premium Member Ending In a Deadly Minor Key
So here's my question for this dawning day,
like a WinWin ruminating message in a bottle
floating through a LoseLose climate sea
felt still foggy from last night,
some mysterious how now;

One of many
health related strategic WinLose issues
tuning out organic WinWin as also opportunities 
for cooperative green optimist/red blooded...

Premium Member Non-Rocket Science
When I was an undergraduate
in Michigan
I became fascinated with my bilaterally transubstantiating internal conversation
about sufficient v necessary evidence
for thought v feeling experience

That communication's principles of co-empathic persuasion
were also healthy-positive psychology's research
on how to best regenerate Left/Right cooperatively resilient attitude change,
both feelings and thoughts,
to grow gratitude...

Premium Member Healthy Caring Systems
Too many times sadly
too seldom gladly
I must learn to trust
Earth's future more

Both Father Sun's timeless 
rounds of enlightenment
and Mother Earth's
codependent rhythms
regenerating rich 
empowering 
soulful soil
and surfing seas

And this trusting more
impels healing trauma's lessons,
surviving hale and hearty lust
for too RightWing earned distrust

Unenlightened AnthroElitism
within our RoyalEnglish languaged...

Real Work (The Brilliant Fool)
He
    was a piece
of  work,

His life a
    work of art

He was 
   a brilliant fool
        masquerading as genius

Or, perhaps,
   a stellar genius
just  acting

Premium Member Relearning Manifest Destiny
What did you learn to play
in school today?
Hedging future winning bets
against lost devolving yesterday

I learned religious history
of manifest colonizing destiny,
Responsibility to over-rule healthy integrity,
Authority to addictively enslave
our lesser prey,
womanfest cooperative destiny,
without duplicity.

How is such sad destiny most powerfully manifest?

Destiny unfolds boldly
in each Here with Now...

Poppy
Paradise poppy 
In battles, she cries,
Dancing with swords
Reflecting their eyes,
So delicately pretty	
Her beauty 
Blowing in the wind
Like the sunrise,
Tears of pure joy
Pleasure she bring,
Growing like a carpet,
Coverage! Of please,		
Freshness in the breeze,
Addictively flowering,
Her fragrances inspiring,
Hallucinations calm,
Capturing and overpowering
Coloring minds,
Sedating with beauty
Into her prison 
Dreamworlds of...

Fantasies of a Lovers Corral Fairytale
Fantasies of a Lovers Corral invaded my mind
Pronounced reality I could no longer find
I didn’t know, one could be turned on so much
It was just my tenderfoot that he did touch
Forbidden thoughts excited even the most conservative side of me
Could this be?
It was electric, I...

Premium Member Sinning Saints Once More
When I was in seminary
my spiritual director advised me to notice,
as had he,
that there are two kinds of:

Clergy

Those who understand their calling
as to coldly forgive
and heatedly challenge
all bedeviled sinners

And those who feel called to mentor
gods and goddesses
and all transgender images in-between
to warmly engage
and repeatedly comfort
all...

Premium Member Prayer To EarthPowered Gratitude
Forgive me
for sleeping while you weep,
for breathing while you wilt,
for beating strong and true
free without you
in an unforgiving sea.

Challenge ungrateful Universal Us
to never swim or fly without unitarian we,
to dream in Win to Win 
rich passioned blues
for love's lusty heroic truths.

Redeem me
from thriving
on backs aching...

Premium Member Sacred Lines and Circular Spaces
Minds can draw dividing lines
in different natural spaces
sacred special uniting places
for secular powering chases.

Nature makes poles
and power polarity,
holes
and light circularity,
bright yangs
and dualdark yintegrity

Which spirited minds refine
and natural bodies define
but integrity is not image confined
by these cooperatively determined lines
back through universally wealthy loves
uniting healthy interweaving lives.

We...
