Best Holistic Poems
Holistic – complete view:
Health – spirit, body, mind.
High-tech – connects us through.
Happy – joyful mankind.
Hemispheres – Earth has two.
Hope – desires intertwined.
Human – global, not few.

There was something odd about this stranger
She called herself a holistic healer
But truly there was nothing “holy” about her
“Bring me an eye of a young newt,” she said
“Two toads that haven’t recently been fed
Be sure to include a Vampire Bat’s head”
“But I just have a problem sleeping in bed;
Shouldn’t I drink chamomile tea instead?”
The scowl she offered filled me with great dread
“You asked for my help; do you really want it?
You risk seeing your name in an obit.”
She scared me to action, I must admit
It took some work, but when I returned
Over to her all her requests I turned
Thinking a cure I must surely have earned
“Ah,” she said wickedly, “thank you, my dear.”
She handed me chamomile tea in good cheer
So I asked why she’d made requests so *****
“Stick around, you’ve more problems than you know
I have to treat that scaly patch that grows
From the top of your head down to your toes”
Ran out, I did, pledged never to come back
Saw in a mirror skin flaking and black
Vowed to find a doctor who’s not a quack!
The newt, toads and bat caused this reaction
Now I needed a full skin extraction
Paid a real doc big bucks for satisfaction
*Written in honor of Deborah Guzzi's The Road to Wellville contest
The matter between my eyes and my soul is for the materiali$tic
The depths of my soul only reachable by the idealistic
My journey thus far can only be described as realistic
Sometimes I wish my life was more simplistic
I have an aura that makes me spiritualistic
But the L in my name argues I'm more Logicalistic
I'm certainly not evangelistic
In truth I'm just moralistic
When it comes to being verbalistic
I like to think I'm intellectualistic
THE WAY TO A HOLISTIC LIFE – VALUES ABSOLUTE
Why would I keep your life in the world,
when you trying to take mine out?
What kind of damn fool I am as lover?
I do not know hate?
This is philosophy.
Heed me!
Why would I love you more than I love myself?
I am number one; however, you can come next.
God said put no man before me.
I am in his likeness as a human being.
This is philosophy.
Adhere!
The Lord told Abraham sacrifice no more.
My needs must come first.
Renunciation is a Buddhist creed.
Why would I deny my needs?
This is philosophy.
Procure!
If I am without belief, I lack epitome.
Celestial knowledge vested.
The universe origin and those that were discovered,
is a viewpoint to ponder.
This is philosophy.
Mindfulness fulfills!
Take notice to wrong
to make the right.
Build a bridge of crossing in meeting of the minds.
Consensus is what is desired.
This is philosophy.
Open your eyes to the love of humanity.
The world is not promised to us.
Earth is not a sacrifice given by Jehovah.
The Lord God Jehovah gave his only begotten son,
Jesus Christ Lord, so the earth would not perish.
This is philosophy.
Values absolute!
No matter how
Holistic
Somehow, rains
Would come in abound
It will come for you and me and for all
It comes as cool as ice in an iceberg
Extend life as soon as possible
And rainbows to color our sky
In technicolor, sometimes in panoramic
Just as tomorrow it will be bright and sunny!
Angels within their delicate disguise,
Beckoning flights of the butterflies…
Mystical mosaics with enticing eyes,
Dreamscapes of ambiance will arise…
Kissing their lavender soulful skies,
In endless motions they harmonize…
In magical movements they hypnotize,
Flapping of their wings will mesmerize…
Frolicking upon fields they formalize,
Majestic Monarchs as they colonize…
Reflecting rainbows as they symbolize,
Secreting beauty to the early sunrise.

HOLISTIC
To learn tolerance and with it abide,
To select in whom to confide,
To share, to protect and to love,
And to pray, for strength from above.
To mellow with time as a treasured wine,
To forget and accept, and never regret,
To try to forgive and never to hate,
And to learn about life before it’s too late.
It’s the purest form of mind wipe known thus far,
erases all mental defective stigmas
Especially that stubborn frontier viral strain
Individualism is a fretting disease ...
thinking you can do without the government,
citizen, please!
You have be real sick to think like this,
but fortunately, your friendly government got the fix:
Holistic mind wipe
for the low, low price of $199.99
So surgically quick,
you’ll be home before dinnertime
The Holistic method is the safest procedure
known thus far
Any strains of authoritarian rebellion
will have been genetically stripped away
A docile populace is now here to stay,
they just go along with
whatever the government say
Offering no resistance at all,
they’re loyal federated citizens who made the call
Now it’s your turn
... it's your duty, unsanctioned citizen,
to make that call
Go get that government seal of approval
Sign up for the next appointment to receive:
The Holistic mind wipe ... all pure, no gripe
for the low, low price of $199.99
It’s so medically cheap, that this offer of
stealing from the government should be a crime
Hurdles hold the happiness - holistically enshrined
People come to pray and tend to bow,
We all search for it - everywhere, though hardly find
Searches find blind alleys; because we don't know
Some may perceive it as preconditioned;
Some may search it in the way illusioned,
Disillusioned souls find fragments in hand -
Destiny brings them to a nowhere land
Is there any heaven, where happy - all beings?
Is there any hell, where there is no good thing?
We don't have to summit somewhere to become happy
Obsessions... that we have to leave and don't be sappy
Have you seen butterflies, crying for things - any?
Have you seen lions, gathering the kills - many?
Learn to live like a beast, without any desire
Nothing in hand you came here, destined to the fire
Ask any parting soul, how beautiful was life?
Smiles... as they last express, would dissolve all your strife'
Moments, my friend, moments we live - happy or sad
Gather all these little moments; soul is nomad
Feeling as part of the whole and seeing the whole within
Is the only way to be happy; it is the linchpin
Moments, my friend, moments we all - born or die
Moments... which we can't ignore nor can defy

Your life is a lake
for you to walk around it,
always in the same direction -
never reversing course,
watching others swim
sometimes drown,
as the path will take you,
almost certainly,
to where you’ve started.
What lies waiting
at the end of a self-made
independently empowered
self-invested
"pulled my own economic-political bootstraps"
life?
A unilateral
linear life,
like any persistent journey,
requires a destination
for returning in the opposite direction
In this lifeline
ego traversing eco-systemic destiny,
from regenerative forward
autonomous brighting light
to degenerating backward
interdependent dissembling
lack of remaining fight.
What happens
at the end of an emergent spiral,
rainbow,
expanding circle,
oval,
deepening square
and swelling out reverse-triangular power frame,
irregular and mysterious polygon,
other than a renewed beginning
into further rooted integrity,
shadowing memory of where we have been
together before
Another potential re-cycling
possible re-purposing
probable re-connecting
re-ligioning spiritual dusk
reaccumulating natural dawn.
I was a Holistic Therapist
with oils and creams galore.
most clients were lovely
but some you had to ignore.
One came asking for 'extras'
which i answered with a threat
I said I'd throw his clothes outside
which I'm sure he would regret.
The thing that really bothered me
made me want to beat him down,
wasn't just the suggestion,
but he only offered me ten pounds!
Not all on earth has great allure:
Roaches, lice, bad eggs, manure.
On dung hills, yet, spring forth sweet flowers.
Therefore, ye wise, employ your powers
to see the world as one great whole,
its fairest face, its warts, an' all.
Churning of holistic sunrise,
churched by God above.
Preaching of vivid truth.
Gleaming eyes see it.
No words — baby crawls
into Father’s lap.
In passing of years
fiery reds, tangerines —
lost in translation;
the tongue lies.
At death’s incline,
impending groom
holds up the globe of the sky.
Like a newborn baby
with no teeth,
an innocent smile
resumes.

War is not my wintry answer
when summer's serene peace
remains a cherished question.
Late autumn's year end Advent
sadly anticipates late winter's
grey unrelenting Lent
As Christmas traumatically
commercially prophesies
black Good Friday
before Easter mortality
Painful future passion story losses,
hopefully temporary,
yet now recently felt
with post-bimillennial stressors.
A global sensory climate of anxiety
and not anticipation,
of unease
and not health
across the nation
Of crumbling democratic energy
fading public sensing health
and bumbling good synergy
reflecting dark governance
lack of wealth,
Lost in dogmatic
even fascist partisanship,
abandonment of healthy democracy
bicameral bipartisanship
Sacred Left
and secular BusinessAsUsual Right
religiously held monoculturing privileges
held tightly all night
overwhelming divinely humane
co-passionate polycultural serenity,
Unitarian integrity
of universal NewYear EarthTribe health
Yintegrity resonantly promising
profound Yangish resilient wealth.
How will this EarthTribe sacred solstice
harmonically resound
healthy democratic energy?
Spaciously serene peace
for wealthy therapeutic Earth
justice.
Consumer wars
are not my LeftBrain answer
when RightMind healthy peace
remains my economically enlightened
and politically empowered
sacred
trusted
integrity-potentiated
question.
