Best Enlighteners Poems


Premium Member Absolute Truth: How Can it Be?

Absolute truth, both mystery… and paradox. 
“You make me wonder if you exist or not?”

The Greeks glimpsed you in circles and squares,
The medievals revered you in scriptures and prayers,
The moderns doubted you in so many facts and proofs.

Absolute truth 
     your a hidden treasure in the dark. 
I’ve been searching for you with a lantern and a map. 
Absolute truth, a misty mountain peak, 
We’ve been climbing towards you 
     with a rope and a pick. 
Absolute truth, a real puzzler 
    and a wonder. 
We’ve been solving you with a clue and a key.

The enlighteners searched for you 
     in nature and reason
The romantics sang about you 
     in passion and vision
Whereas existentialists certainly questioned you 
     in freedom and action.

Absolute truth: are you actually still alive and relevant today? 
You’ve been inspiring us with 
     your beauty and your grace. 
Absolute truth, you are most diverse and multifaceted. 
You’ve been expressing yourself 
     in every culture and every race. 
Absolute truth, you are so complex and yet, paradoxical. 
You’ve been challenging me 
     to question and embrace.

The analytics dissected you in symbols and many signs.
Whereas continentals explored you 
     in history and culture.
Yes, those postmoderns deconstructed you 
     in relativity and plurality.

Absolute truth, you invite us to seek 
     doubt, affirm, and critique. 
You show us the value of 
     curiosity and humility. 
Absolute truth: you challenge us to 
     dialogue, dignity, listen, respect, and appreciate. 
You teach us of the importance of 
     diversity and empathy. 
Absolute truth, you call us 
     to transcend, transform, love, and willingly serve. 
You lead us to the ultimate goal of harmony and peace.

The scientists explain you in matter and energy,
The believers proclaim you in faith and grace,
The artists create you in beauty and meaning.

But the needle spins wildly, a chilling impart…
"Absolute Truth is a compass with a broken heart."

Premium Member Awake Them, Love

I have fallen crazy madly deeply in love..
How many times I tried but failed..
How many times I take risks yet I was wronged..
So, I did cry and feel so hurt...

Whispered by my mind: "stop & take care"
this Stubborn heart rejects and says: "find your pair"..
I must stand follow a strong will..
Not round up nor down like a wheel..

Undefinable; unexplainable love..
how you been?
Where have you been?
share to me not be trashed in bin..

a lot needs and wants you..
yet few shows a genuine you..
soothers and enlighteners of blues..
shoving all worries and woes..

nowadays, in world full of gloom
won't you mind to flourish and bloom?
spring out to everyone's aura and mood..
pleading you to cure all wounds..

all persons who despite all pains and hurts still believes in the power of love

------->>>> Inspired today with a meaningful conversation with my sister.... ( really felt how she feels so much love)

misssing my real sisters much.... 

here, i realize that money can't buy happiness... sometimes the best penniless things are just around persons gestures.

Premium Member Same Old Differences

Why is it that philosophers and scientists,
and sometimes even theologians,
find healthier and less degenerative ground
lies in defining what their loves and great pursuits
are not?

Positive self-regenerating definitions
are what lie within
these negative encircling boundaries
of what it,
whatever "it" may be,
is not.

Religion is not science
and philosophy is no longer scientific
and scientific religions are an abomination
(too totalitarian, you see)
and history is none of the above,
but potentially about all of those below,
especially if they were men.

These traditions born of human experience
grow paradigmatic double-binding walls
to co-define what's in
as what's not yet out.

Yet, ecology of natural-spiritual systems
respects no such boundaries,
where history/herstory is our global story
of unfolding experiential reunion
with leftbrain scientific 
and rightbrain religious flow
remembering
reincarnating
reweaving
nondual co-arising
ecology of karmic grace
as climate health
defined by encroaching ecopolitical
and historical
and too-industrial
climate pathologies of inhumane competing hubris.

Western religious traditions
may differ from Eastern
through telling an historically embedded tale
of co-redemptive grace
rather than timeless nondual philosophy of being
co-enlighteners,
yet both are within one ecological ecopolitical umbrella
of love's contenting
co-arising regenerativity
as climate health
co-defining decompositional degenerativity
as further Too Busyness
hunting and devouring as competitively usual
far more than gathering and absorbing could balance
and cooperate
drawing LeftBrain boundaries
around what God/dess Earth
has also brought nutritionally
absorbingly
together.

Scientific philosophers,
and sometimes even theologians,
find healthier and more regenerative grounds
defining how our ecological loves 
are great transitionally storied 
cooperative pursuits.
