Best Longing To Belong Poems

For My Children
-	Daniel Henry Rodgers

As dawn's first blush ignites the eastern sky—a cool
Caress of dew upon the breeze—and the birds' serenade
Pierces the silence, their notes ascending high.

The mist, like a spectral ballet, pirouettes, twirling
In the light. And the flowers, in their resplendent array,
Bloom, banishing the...

When one feels like an Outcast, one can over compensate
In ways that are extreme to try and change their fate.
This can make them do things others cannot relate to,
If they know not of such pain one suffers through.

When one is on the outside, always looking...

Once upon a nightime grim
all creatures of Earth dreamed
our Mother was not enough for everyone,
just "me."

This collective nightmare thunderously rolled out
dark implications:

Earth is insufficient for our needs!

We live in Closed Systems of immunity,
heading toward decay!

EarthTribe is not enough to sustain all this life!

I am not...

Thanks for your letter
asking for a free Taoist consult
on how to bring God talk
and experience
back into our Big Agri-MilitantIndustrialized Busyness Schools
and possibly our extended family lives,
on into our inside Holy of Holies,
our Climates of PanEntheistic EarthSoul Health.

I do wish you had asked me 
before giving...

What is love?
A sea of nonexistence
both tranquil and calamitous
where the mind
does not dare enter.
(Rumi, M. Mafi, "Day By Day", p. 120, 2014, Hampton Roads)

What is timeless synergy?
Our sea of coexistence
both confluent and dissonant
where blind consciousness
seldom dares disembody.

Aging time,
This house, not home, hums and strains pitchy...

Mindbodies unfold from embryonic seed
toward full living-loving 
sense-synthesizing leaf production,
full YangPower during warm light-drenched days of summer,
Earth’s rotation fuelling healthy growth,
yet weedy monopolizing tendencies as well.

Seed unfolding is our first longing half, 
maturing toward healthy EarthTribe speciation,
in fullest neurosensory glory.

Our second half returns fading leaf...

Elatedly expansive
Longing to belong 
Exquisitely 
Philanthropic
Harmonious
Animals
Naturally beautiful
Their trunks and tusks
Safari they reign...

Born, slave or free, nobody's property; a "P"(purpose) and a "D'(destiny) are stamped within. Letters they are, but so much more and nevermore to be set aside nor ever erased in me. A human tragedy that began in the far reaches of civilization still remains...

Mom and Dad's wedding picture
frames a glass-covered black and white frozen moment
with warm smiles 
for invisible cameras.

He in his WWII uniform
of a first class private Republican
with recent patriotic death technology experience.

She in a white satin dress,
veil innocently pulled back,
rosy, more democratic, cheeks
even black and white...

Life is a mess
Life is a mission it is a test
Many succeed many fail
Trials and tribulations on its tail
Try to bring us down to the worst we can be 
So we are ever conflicted and never free
Family friends and love ones seems to care 
But...

Dreaming by myself,
eisegetically,
I believe in LeftBrain dominant deductive intelligence
furthering Yang-enculturation,
culturing,
enculturing toward
secular rational capital-investments,
self-righteous protagonist relationships
within Earth's continuing regenerative revolution

Revolution more powerful than
evolution's climatic threats
and crises of degenerative
Lose to Lose
dismay longing to belong within depression.

By contrast,
listening within all MatriarchalWomb Elders,
exegetically,
we co-empathically feel RightBrain recessive inductive intelligence,

Yin-squared...

I wonder sometimes if longing 
is no more or less than misplaced belonging,
on my list of absences
that are more honestly presences
we have deferred owning right now,
you and I,
Left with Right,
without even knowing this absence from each other.

Things and relationships and transactional places 
longed for yet...

Infrastructure.
Such a cold ugly word
like a patriarchal weapon,
a technology
substituting for a warm organic nurturing network
flowing through a great river
of eye-to-eye revolving time.

Pointing out,
perhaps in as well,
systems, like people,
can support Positive Nutrition
and Energy Outcomes

And

Negative Toxins and Dissonant Waste,
And usually some of both;
Win-some,
Lose-sum total.

Lose face,
a bit of...

I host many song birds,
but never enough.

I steal them from neighbors
with lavish tax-relief offers,
free food
and housing
in exchange for their relocation
and entertainment.

I love them all
but especially red cardinals,
him with her.

They hang and fly together.
An integrity couple
more than the robins
and sparrows
and bluejays
and finches I have flinchingly noticed.

I'm...

I am feeling emotions    cast down
Hovering about my head
Enveloping me
With the longing to belong
To be with people who have   similar vows of
Passion
Someone to talk with    in shared ideals
The haunts of unasked questions
Exchange thoughts we are  ...
