Best Mediating Poems
With Youth.....
Watch this girl...
she has her eyes
on a rising dandelion
sprouted in high grass,
a pensive girl,
weaving her way through the fields,
looking past weeds to her future,
making her way through a maze
of thistle solitude, on Saturday afternoons,
down hallways and classes on Tuesday,
teacher and stranger and parent
expectation, she approaches
a destination beyond home,
clutching the flower
to her budding breasts
With Age....
Keep your eyes on her...
she is residue of the mute child,
now entrusted with a knowing mind
and well worn shoes,
still clutching the flower
to her breast...
She peers through pages of old photos,
scratching through scraps of half-heard
conversation, seeking
some color and clarity
with a dim vision of the girl
that held a prickly spine
of a spent dandelion
with compromise and resignation
With Wisdom
Unable to mouth a sound,
I wish to warn
each teacher, each mentor, each censor of the flame...
I want to shout:
"Watch this girl...
who held a weightless flame
of windswept dream in her eyes,
making her way,
mediating between her reality
and every longing she ever had...
Look back to this girl
who has always maintained
an unblinking gaze on the white star
of dandelion in her hand"

My '90 Dodge Daytona sat
Broken down
On Horseblock Road.
We hitchhiked east
To Kelly’s induction,
Embarrassingly tardy.
The trucks were leaving
Ashes were spreading
And 16 people stood
Broken down
Outside the service.
Sean, Laura and I approached.
We made 19
Peers in formal wear
Feuding for space
Between 2 cars. Packed with living friends,
We found our way back home.
Sean’s flag stood through his window,
Guiding and mediating,
So nowadays I try to reason with atheists.
I’ll never forget returning to my Dodge.
It started and drove without a flaw,
And I felt like I had aced a test.

Abiding faith in the Lord
Blessed joy to me restored
Christ's love is beyond our grasp
Dwelling free from sin's death clasp
Everlasting life is found
Fullness of joy, peace abound
Giving thanks for all blessings
Hope of heaven, heart now sings
Immortal, I'm now God's child
Justified and reconciled
King of Kings is my Father
Led by Christ, my life's Author
Mediating for my sins
Nourished by His Word, grace wins
Overcoming flesh, I grow
Perennial mercies flow
Quietness reigns in my soul
Redeemed by His blood, made whole
Steadfast promises to hold
Trusting God as my Stronghold
Unchanging, He is with me
Vessel in His hand to be
Wonder-working God, I serve
Xenial charity verve
Yearn to live for His glory

You are my shadow in my weakest days
Giving me light in my darkness way
Sheltering me from harmful pains
Thereby listening to my untold story
Through this optical lines we communicate
Distance never appeared as an obstacle
Witnessing our secrets talks
Mediating two souls to be one
Behind those words and advises
Like chocolate kisses so tender and sweet
You lighten my burden spirit
Took away my fears
Friend as we often called each other
I could never imagine it could be more than this
Being there could be more for me…
To have your Love isn’t great enough?
Once a upon time there was a friend called “YOU”
Now my fairy tales of Love do come true….
Wish upon a star forever “Me and You”
And we shall live happily ever after….

Strong and bright
A shining light
That's my precious girl
Mediating every fight
With her mature sight
That's my peacemaker girl
Curls so tight
Her fun style to delight
That's my beautiful girl
Learning what might
Help her take flight
That's my adventuresome girl
Has great insight
Usually right
That's my intuitive girl
She'll go to the highest height
To see the moonlight
That's my nature loving girl
I wanted to write this poem tonight
So she would always know she's my sunlight,
earthlight, moonlight, my bright light
-Bella you make me happy always
Keep shining ??
Love,
Mom

Rhyme
Group of stars, gas, and dust like astronomers would see with a telescope. It's held together by gravity which introduces galaxy. Scientists stress their mind while mediating the question what's the difference between comets and asteroids. Approximately, their are numerous answers to research like if a comet has a long tail, smaller in size, a rocky surface, or a irregular shape. The correct answer would be the difference of size the comets differs from asteroids.

We are born remembering
DNA's sacred syntax,
cryptic receipts with multigenerational redemption value,
to redeem integrity through this incarnation's
fully functional root and crown potential
For ecological
politically co-intelligent
co-operative economic practice
with polyculturally unconditional intent
Mutual subsidiarity of peace
compassioning just rightness
declared only through solidarity
in co-prehensive
leftbrain consciousness.
Who are these would be CoRedemptive Mentors
stalking my multi-regenerational mirror?
Tempted by good and evil
I reconnect MotherEarth's suffering
to monotheistic FatherSun's not listening,
steadfastly ambivalent feelings
ambidextrously languaged
Riding Time's enculturing edge
flying forward for hope of better
stronger
surer lasting light,
fleeting backward darkening doubtful powers
to change what I cannot compassionately tolerate
to fulfill EarthJustice commitments together
as we might
were Anthros not a lone Redeemer
anti-hero monoculture
Prophets without sufficient Time
for holy spirit's embryonic forms
flowing full-natured unction.
This present makes a safer home
than future's pregnant womb
or past's enslaving RoyalAnthro tomb
severing analogical revolutions
apart
rather than preserving integrity's resolutions
together.
Double-bound
stigmatic
messiah wounds
Breathing in Earth's first breath
while dying out Ego's already last,
stifling my victorious solo shout
"not yet...not yet" out
My mythic time
portends mystery's co-redeeming climax
without embracing Beloved EarthTribe's
sacred sensory resonance.
Redeemer musing Heart
mediating fragile warring Mind
against unwisely breaking Body,
our Trinitarian Teleology
As messianic restitution
perpetually rides
Earth's suffering surf
of almost pregnant paradise.

What is the purpose of poetry,
and therefore the meaning of the poet?
Beautiful style?
Aesthetic merit?
Artistic elegance or the beauty of its truth?
Is poetic purpose the meaning of its language
or the art of linguistic choices?
Of course it must be both,
symbiotically planting and fertilizing,
creating and cultivating, each incubating embryo,
flowing and forming regenerative language
An expression of intuition
with deduction, co-arising
refined with exegetically known
and felt soul-truth
through eisegetical sieved analogies,
trials and sub-optimizing errors,
evolutions and ecologies of syntax
conjoined within and without
through transcendent values
avoiding prosaic disvalues,
relationships inviting well-being,
principles of languaged left-brained human nature
dancing prancing right-brain's preposterous spirit,
dream-dancing DNA encryption
team-taught description
within each cell of healthy live
is not unwealthy evil.
Poets seed and winnow language,
thought,
understanding and unlearning
misunderstanding,
rationality
and polymorphic transanity,
form and function flowing fine flowering frequencies
comprehensively mentoring
and mediating
Earth's holistic therapy.
Eisegetical hopes and hypotheses disclose Time's exegetical ecology.
Poetic epiphany disguises Earth's logic as mythic teleology.

Be Not Afraid
When God Says so
everything is permitted
The genocide on screens
was sanctioned from heaven
800 acres 800 graves
In the name of God
Their Journey was hastened
The heavens were opened
"I saw visions of God."
Ezekiel was preaching
Be not Afraid
The Government has faith
The chief was ordained
His cup was brimming
A man Of God
His blessings revealing
Death permits signed
The Heaven Resort was booming
The word of the Lord came to Ezekiel
There the hand of the Lord was dirty
The Gospel of McKenzie
Be not Afraid
The Politicians are cracking
The politics politicking
And Justice is coming
The God Of Israel fighting for Kenya
The God of Kenyans sacrificed for favour
The house of God is a Morgue
DP said it is something small
800 Dead, It's no big deal
The dead are home
Each one went straight ahead
Wherever The spirit Goes They Go
McKenzie was Mediating
Be not Afraid
Shakahola will repeat
When the systems are broken
The saviours are needed
When St Peter is corrupted
The devils do sneak In
When your God is Imported
Prosperity is Gospel
And those desperate in need
Forget even Christ Lost faith
When the creatures moved
To the appearance of the likeness
But is easier to forget
Than pay the price of reality

Narrative
My latest President
also appreciated Americans
he may never meet
or hear
or smell
Not to mention out to get
ever better tasted,
with or without informed consent,
not so vulnerably seen
or transparently felt
with copassioned
trauma-free intent,
yet not actually met,
just yet
And
I am confused
that any President would feel
he needs to say this,
as if appreciating Americans
were a partisan platform
advocating politically
and economically unusual
universal health
and safe global wealth
resiliently inclusive policy priorities
Sacredly patriotic
EcoMatriotic regard
for nutrition-based
economic historical
polyculturing
cooperative space
for competing against divisive time
Wu-wei YintegralPower/YangLight
sacred/secular
transubstantiating neuro-sensory
WinWin/WinLose/LoseLose
co-mediating
eco-political communication grace
I readily concede
this unbecoming space,
I could be wrong
but I can at least imagine
Donald Trump
feeling and believing,
although jaded
disappointed
and dispassionately,
that he appreciates
all those NonWhite
NonStraight
NonPatriarchal EcoFeminists
he has never met
And would just as soon
not change his monopolistic bliss
to CounterCulturally encounter Othering
dark ignorance,
just yet.
I don't know if it is a positive
or negative coronary corollary
to further extend
this metaphoric analogy
Yet Trump,
unlike Biden,
could never get
a multiculturally gifted American
he has not yet met
But I would bet
it would be hard to vet
EarthTribe residents
too healthy to ever regret
not having had the pleasure
of meeting many Trumpian Americans
Cold greetings
likely best to forget
we all come from somewhere
Matriarchally sacred
as an interdependent
health care safety net
includes imaginatively appreciating
All those Others Othering
unfertilized good eggs,
and thus not yet met.

What is self magnified, but life
longing an impossible dream,
a tickling of inner cravings
as the voice of imaged splendor,
wherewithal's purpose
flourished in veritable endeavors
of stylistic appropriations,
realistically mediating 'tween desire's
yearning amidst clouded vapors
dispersing recognition beyond
declarations of id's odyssey,
an ideal in ego's transformation
that which awakens
substantial sustenance
nourishing a spirited nature,
a psychic boon, abstruse or surreal
motivating individuality's
creative impulses
differentiating experience's of
uncoordinated instinctual trends
amid uniqueness of the ultimate animus,
'roused beyond mind-blowing intrinsic forces

First,
and hopefully last,
organizational meeting of the Polycultural Party
tonight
in our conjoined Meeting Room,
between your bipartisan eyes.
If you
work or live in a cooperative
democratic tax-based community,
would like to live more healthy
or work more inclusively wealthy
in a more co-invested environment,
If you
garden or farm, or just feed, with organic preference,
If you
would like to live in a more nurturing political climate,
If you
write or dance or sing,
or some other variety of artistic engagement,
or your grandmother calls you "artistic"
because she just doesn't know what else to say,
or you would like to live more authentically,
gracefully,
integrally
within beauty of ego/eco-normic
win/win
resonant creativity,
If you
are bewildered by New Age spiritual
and feel old age natural,
Then you are already an uncertified member
of our Polycultural Party.
Let's continue co-mediating with each other,
speaking and listening
about how to be
and become
this Green EarthTribe Party,
more bilaterally organized,
more co-intelligently organic,
more neurosystemically co-climaxing resilience,
healthier foreplay design
and
wealthier FatherSun/MotherEarth
crown/root
mind-passion/body-pleasure
Mono/Panen-theistic
Bipartisan Left/Right
co-intelligent
health and wealth-care
co-mediating integrity's development.
