softly the breeze reassures...
Dewy tears consoled

Dawn Greets the Poet

            It's cold today and my fresh cup
            of coffee is coming to me.

Western theo-logic:
Christ's (God's, Progenitor's, Allah's, etc.) 
redemptive economy of grace
leads to Divine/human universal salvation.

Eastern teleo-logic:
Buddhist (Hindu, Taoist, etc.)
co-redemptive ecology of karma
leads to sacred/secular unitarian compassion.

So,
Western theo-monoculture = Eastern teleo-polyculture
salvation = compassion
healthy economy = wealthy ecology
transcendent grace = immanent karma
universalist-ectosystemic = unitarian-endosystemic.

Human West-dominant/East-recessive enculturation 
has a...

Quote by: Rumi 
(You are not a drop in the ocean but an entire ocean in one drop)


Beaten and whipped scoured and wrung like a dish cloth 
am I 
inside this night gown the sweat and grime of a lifetime 
am I ? 
Fish or...

Clucking in the barnyard awaits the dawn
With the smooth raucous of morning.
Sheep dogs rise, stretch and yawn
While expecting the morning meal.
The horses lazily doze in the stables.

As the sun slowly breaks over the maples
Life begins to stir within the farm house.
Eggs begin grazing in bacon...

The year gets older storms streak the skies I am told age is a quality of the mind,
Do I sit indoors and watch the fog, the dirt, the rain and wind splash on my windows,
So I wonder around indoors in a depressing influence of a...

The broken limb hangs by a gnat's breath
waiting for a wind
To stir the leafy attached limbs
releasing it to blend

Back into the soil of the earth
Giving of itself again
Its life used to give up oxygen
Now grow life where it has been

Cataract grows where lens did work
Knuckles...

She greets me at the door

   with a tiptoe embrace,

Her wild berries scent

   sifts soon my soul.....

   then,

   her hand so softly my face,

   she stares my well-traveled orbs;

" What? " I ask, worried....

The storm raged in fury all night
in morning's light the damage plain
the havoc greets our eye  sight 

Houses knocked down by its might
ruins scattered on floodplain
the storm raged in fury all night

Trees uprooted some taken flight
strewn like firewood behind remain
the havoc greets our eye...

Misery sets
 Misery greets 
 Greets the old
 Greets the new
 New beginnings 
 New you
 You are blind
 You did not see 
 See the pain
 See my tears
 Tears that mocked
 Tears that stood
 Stood out 
 Stood shouting
 Shouting loud
 Shouting your...

Because Buddy is an exceptionally large dog
Weighing ninety-two pounds, measuring five feet
Not counting his tail, even though he is only two and a baby
Some delivery people are fearful when they see him.
He is a gentle giant, but his girth and height are off-putting.

If they were...

Qualities of empowering
and too often disempowering time
lurk within quantities of Yang spatially informing/Yintegral-exforming flow powers,

We are climate changing qualities of addicting ego-time
praying for,
while preying on,
quantities of Earth's ecopolitical powers
over Self and Other's underpassing,
powers with
powers within passing-on powers,
toxic qualities of maladaptive waste and loss
evolving regenerate qualities
of...

grumpy grumbling grungy gregarious gremlin Greggory
gratefully grasped grainy grandma’s green grapes in glee
greathearted Gretchen greeted greenhorn grim-reaper with gee
grinning, groovy, grown grandson growled among grimy greenery

grandiose grim-reaper granted gratuities and graves gracefully,
grubby? Gruesome? Graphic? Gruff too Grandparents greedily agree.
gruff, gripping, grotesque, gratifying gravestones, grandiose in...
