Across Earthen Sky And Mystical Realms


And where was the light of truth and spirit?
Racing hot, chariots wheels in fires.
The Light sublime, flees when one but nears it
its glowing path vanished as it retires.

Across earthen sky and mystical realms
gold eagle flies into kingdoms not born.
Such breath...

edgar allen poe: he died on my birthday, but before i was born and before the beginning of the civil war. he might have enjoyed the pale horse of that day, as he endured the hellish bells, bells, bells & belted the raven’s forevermore.

How vast and pervasive is the Moon?
Hugeness hints there stand two
Orbs and a turbulent stream
Simply like the dawning sun
All over the half-moon horizon.

On the shore of credulity
The froth shed detritus and sea salt
Carving a path into level sand
Slicing the weft out of silk
By cutting across...

Right now, I'm sat sideways in a big leather armchair
Of a type I'd like to own 
In a thinking space 
There's a storm outside
But the sun streamed through the windows
The dog has rearranged his blankets 
Everybody loves each other
I have a cold but wearing fluffy...

What is patriotism?

Pride of and for national, and maybe cultural, superiority.
Maybe superior health caring integrity?

What is nationalism?

Usually positive values about monocultural 
monotheistic
monopolistic
monochromatic identity,
but I guess national health charism
could also include negative evaluations,
begging for more international 
interdependent freedom 
empowered to do wealth good.

What is resiliently good?

Not...

I'm in the life-long process 
of conjoining a Unitarian Universalist Green Sanctuary
communion of All Souls
living healthy 
on all wealthy Earth soils.

This is not my first time joining an intentional good-faith community,
but it is the first time I have signed a Membership Book
of historical,
spiritual,
natural cooperatively intentioned...

A wife of noble character,
Is guerdon from the hand of God.
She works all day with eager hands,
Invests herself in every job.

She is not proud but full of love
And helps the hungry and the weak.
Her husband has full faith in her;
Of her, her children highly speak.

She...

Salvation of a Formalist, an Ode to Entropy
by Michael R. Burch

Entropy?
God's universal decree
That I get to be
Disorderly?
Suddenly
My erstwhile boxed-in verse is free?
Wheeeeee!



Eternal Currents
by Michael R. Burch

How can I write and not be true
to the rhythm that wells within? 
How can the ocean not be blue,...

Born into this world, my opinion never mattered 
Had no voice yet today my tears flow like a stream 
Born into hardship and poverty, its no fault of mine 
No need to ask my pains... for the fast receding of my flesh showcasing my bones...

What have you learned from your family experience
that influences your position
on public health and safety,
national health defense
and economic offensives you might propose
for healthier individuals 
and families
and nations
and even planet Earth, hopefully?

Could you give me an example
of what might qualify as a politically satisfactory answer
for you?

Well,...

We are each a spring of therapeutic kindness 
and pathological unkindness
emerging from and toward a rising river of time,
flowing down deep through universal oceanic absorption,
ebbing back upriver's EarthBound regeneration
back through time
leaping to confluently touch healthy integrity
if only for a timeless golden moment

Rapturous waterfall of time's...

Time echoes and resonates without language,
invests in green triumphal backdrop
below mystic blue sky,
splattered

Blossoming in yellows and spindling purples
blues and flaming orange,
fragile moments of fully fertile fractures,
flagrant erections of next generation's hope
for full coloring 
perennially emerging time

Through fields of grass enraptured
brown soil embracing gray rocks
and weathered...

It is love, not loss, we expect,
we long for and belong with,
we seek within
a cooperative economic network
rather than a competitive gain-over-loss
capital-rooted value system.

Love evolves more resonantly
and robustly
than fear
and hatred
and apathy
and dispassion,
yet we have planted our economy in competition,
in Win v. Lose survivalist presumptions,
where losing wants...

I was in a zoo when I got these words,
There was happiness and smile on every face,
There were animals, plants, ponds, and birds,
The cheerful delight was coming as they were base,

But they were telling me they are caged,
They give delight but they only have despair,
And...

COPLA 109 RESOLUTION : This Bad Guy World

What drives the Bad Guy is avarice
And the cruelty he invests this vice :
More never less

He’d get under your skin to suck your kiss
He’d make out as if he were trampled mice :
Suck World bloodless

He’s deaf to bird-song...
