Best Optimized Poems
I am s p a c e …
… and I owe indeed my existence from God
The Author of my breadth, depth, and height ---
With the Lord’s abundance…
I am bestowed with worthy meanings:
earthly residence, glorious habitation, celestial abode ---
Along the Almighty’s omnipotence…
my value becomes costly with ascribed phrases as
green pasture, even land flowing with milk and honey ---
Around the Saviour’s omnipresence…
emptiness can never creep in, while He vanquishes void
filling me with His wondrous magnificence ---
Upon the declaration of the supreme Sovereign…
I am under perfect control, supervised by His wisdom
cognizant that He “sitteth upon the circle of the earth”* ---
Midst the Master’s tender mercy and gracious miracles…
I am optimized with functional maximization
while with faith**, utilizers of my offers, trust God in their stewardship ---
While in the Providence timetable…
my moments are significant, especially when urgency attacks
via the impact of every hour, day and year I demand ---
I thank and praise my MAKER for enabling my being and becoming occupied…
Yes, I am s p a c e
Devoid of the CREATOR, I am n o t h i n g***.
*Isaiah 40:22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in.
** Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
***Job 26:7 He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.

Abiding in God’s faithfulness*, I live for Him
Blessed to do His perfect will along His righteousness
Called to conform toward Christ-likeness…
Driven toward His triumph!
Ever-upheld by God’s faithfulness, I’m thankful
Freed from grip of vanities’ worthlessness
Graciously geared-up to worship Him sincerely…
Hoisted for faith-ascent!
Inspired with God’s faithfulness, I continue in His teachings
Jubilant in reaching-out to others midst constraints
Kindled for achievements, meaningfully fruitful…
Loving Him while labouring with commitment’s joy!
Moved by God’s faithfulness’ might, I press on for service-fulfillment
Nurtured to grow in His grace, led by His light
Offering myself with obedience optimized…
Persevering to do my best ways for His name’s exaltation!
*Psalm 36:5 Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds.

Y/our relationship with ecology and economics
incarnates polypathically,
multisystemically therapeutic,
like positive human relationships
and richly fertile sacred dreams
between DNA's biological unfolding and Vitamin D's
absorbing ways.
Our actively cooperating economic design,

multisystemic refueling therapy
for ego and ecohealing community,
Appositionally driven
shriveled by exhausting lose-lose practices
feeding shriven anger,
silos of fear and suffering,
haunted by monopolistic
monochromatic
mindless monocultural nightmares
of Black Hole entropic proportion,
socioeconomic pathology
wilting and suffocating purgation
monotheistic punishment
pantheistic imprisonment.
Black hole reverse-eco-normic competition
never ends with enough,
timelessly continues longing for infinity
of heaven at hand.
Ecological cooperation soon builds diversely inclusive sufficiency,
together,
healthy warm kinda wealthy,
but just right,
pricklygoo co-invested
muse amusing culture.
If we don't fly apart first,
we might learn to fly
and swim
and breathe together,
drinking from the same aerobic/autonomic fountain of knowledge,
in bull-bear fueled nutritional flows and ebbing markets
polyculturally optimized self-with-other resilient design.
EcoTherapy practices peaceful Earth development,
proactively nurturing
co-passionate bipartisan
notBully/notBear balanced
therapeutic EarthTribal nutrition.

Tentative evaluation of personal standards
Enlightens and reveals possible answers
Specific visual outline reduces
Transference of explanations and excuses
Discover behavioral actions to minimize
problem areas that need to be scrutinized
Knowledge of character defects analyzed
enables change as awareness is centralized
Past experiences can be used to exercise
self evaluations for patterns to improvise
Trial and error results that are summarized
determine changes that can be optimized
Chronic, complicated consequences require candor
Warning they will repeat if there is any deceit
Trial and error is often bittersweet change from concrete
Tentative evaluation of personal standards

Earth Host
and all her mutually codependent
co-arising Earth Tribes
of inclusive regeneration
have continued evolving
new wine in old wineskins
new eggs from old genetic nests,
running on both dipolar Tao-Cylinders,
karmic grace-optimized in Neutral
Midway P=N(NP) as Yang=YinYin,

with fractal 4-Prime Thermodynamic Balance--
Once learned,
never forgotten,
like autonomically riding
a bilaterally reforming fractal-seasoned cycling function.
Both cylinders

and Left/Right hemispheres,
labeled ego-mind

each with its own dipolar neurosystemic

win/win through win/lose memory,
lose/lose loss of painful rememory,
transgenerative crown/root systemic his/herstory,
polyculturing as "Beloved EcoPolitical SenSexual Community."
As Left contracts more climatically
monopolistically self-deductive -reductive
with critical competitive events
and win-lose strategies for ego-survival,
Right expands more cooperatively
abundant wealthy health of values
polyculturally dipolar double-binding eco-norms
for designing and re-developing Plan A cooperative
network of politically power-optimizing economics,
between tribal co-arising mutually-subsidiary Plan B humanity
and grace-filled Plan A divinity
of beauty and health
as ecopolitical wealthy
EarthTribe/Gaia balance.

~~~Above Cherished Love, Bless Life From Above!~~~
Taste the bitterness, life has lost its taste
Blood spilled sweet innocence that dried my blood!
Wasted soul where is your life you wasted?
Floods of dead men tales; we drown in floods!
Forgive me, if my soul will not forgive!
Hate lost life and everyone it hates!
Live my soul; love gave one reason to live!
Fate was what we needed, to seal our fate!
Nights blinding darkness; death desired the nights
Faith blessed our love; my heart loved our faith!
Life changed at last; one chance to love sweet life
Wraith my soul I'm nothing; I'm your lost wraith!
Love more than my will; where's your promised love?
Above cherished love, bless life from above!

Hear ye wisdom’s excellence
thankful to God for our existence
testifying about grand natural essence
as trees* of noteworthy functional prevalence
oozing with aesthetic environmental iridescence.
Weathering all seasons, varied roles we fulfill
being perennial or "long lived plants" steadfastly still
in the forest, valleys, at the backyards, or upon every hill
classified as deciduous and evergreen trees of scientific thrill
serving well as resources the Almighty provides for mankind’s good will.
Our value showcases the Lord’s commitment
with our partnership to be useful in every engagement
such as furnishing oxygen, essential for breathing moment
along food, shelter, medicines, tools, bridges of great enrichment
midst ecological enjoyment, health investment, and life-enhancement.
As our leaves mitigate heat
we share climate amelioration feat
improve air quality toward a joyous greet
conserve water, preserve soil where we all meet…
midst our community and social contributions, hard to beat.
Peace we exude can vanquish stress
wafting freedom that relieves woe and distress
along playgrounds, we bring joy of serenity-buttress
whereas parks and resorts become rejuvenation-fortress
inspiring a poet ready for songstress and choir conductress.
We praise the Creator for enabling us to be a delight
since our wondrous usefulness pleases Him with full might
maximizing our best for optimized utility of triumphant height
with His blessings to be shared with love, devoid of selfishness-blight…
Now, our question to people: why are you exploiting us for greediness’ flight?
*Psalm 104:16 The trees of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted.

Life is to be enjoyed while we learn from God Who teaches the best lesson:
Such is to love Him above all – in and out of season
To esteem Him with pure heart’s reason
Seeking His grace to transform us to be a better person.
Life is to be optimized while we understand that to fear the Lord is vital
Since doing so for wisdom-gaining is fundamental
To keep us from sin that’s perilous and fatal
Bringing us His blessings in their grand total.
Life is to be shared while we trust God’s Word which we must cherish
As our faith stands against trends that easily perish
Upheld by His truth mere opinions can’t tarnish
In His confidence He does readily furnish.
Life is to be valued while we flee from worldly influences’ destruction
Overcoming pride, flesh and vanity’s temptation
As we walk through the Spirit’s confirmation
While in His fellowship we bring to Him our petition.
Life is to be grateful for while we stay in God's will* where He is the Driver
For that’s the best choice we have as His love-receiver
We abide in Him, by His mercy, quitting never
Blooming where He has planted us to be a help-giver.
*Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Enmity, war has proclaimed
Munition between coteries - organized
Victory onslaught enthusiastically aimed
Domestic cats versus gnawing rats - outrage optimized
Chief Cat hangin' in there - now terrorized.
Territory annexed by rodents
Having a grand triumph feast
Devouring every single food - sorry ... cats are prudent
Bane pricked in menus slayed those little beasts
At the end, mousers are vanquishers - strife ceased.

The day United Ways
slurp some Reality Stew
we will change this name
to The Same Ol' Competition Way;
cheering for ever-more community support
with the same constituency
we are teaching to over-power each other
for both community support and service.
Our United Way systemically grows
a Divided Fail.
The day our Philanthropic Foundation
absorbs some multiculturing fertility,
we will learn to ask whose foundation is this really?
Are we a Foundation of inclusive cooperation?
A Foundation with Golden Rule
applied to all species living now
and in our global future,
incarnating through our Elder species
for mutually optimizing regenerative purpose?
Are we a Philanthropic Foundation
created by people
who deeply cared about sustaining life's integrity
for seven generations?
Perhaps even more?
Are we more a Foundation of confusing mobbed competition
for scarce resources,
or a Foundation for regenerating abundant contentment,
goodness,
beauty,
wisdom,
optimized economic policies for cooperative
ecological health and well-being networks;
for minimizing suffering and exploitive commodification,
economic decomposition of Earth's natural elements and systems;
a pro-life Commons
racing to win diverse harmonies
before losing our dreams
of teleological faith
and ecological hope?
Could we become a Foundation for optimizing public policies
for mutually cooperative mentoring
of vocational choice,
of permaculturally,
organically,
integrally,
multisystemically functional, maybe even deeply creative, families
and thereby communities?
We stand within this permacultural Foundation
for cooperative mutual-investment guilds,
consumer and producer networks,
Climax Communities
for growing global consciousness of eco-balance identity,
Earth Care as Self and Other Care,
revolutioning this ReGenesis Foundation,
with both interior and exterior landscape applications,
both YinTime and YangSpace eco-function metrics,
mutually mentoring Earth's polyculturally cooperative eco-logic.

I loathe the grief of frustration torture
When my care-giving work is jeopardized
Bringing to naught my volunteered gesture
Of love’s motive, graciously optimized.
With faith in God, I then cling to His might
Confessing faults, admitting ignorance
Moving on toward stewardship triumph’s height
While defying self-pity’s dominance.
Thus, I conquer awful guilt of failure
Striving as champion midst persistence-bout
Vanquishing conveniences that allure
Prevailing over gross vanities’ clout.
For my servant’s heart and deeds’ full harvest
I trust God’s perfect judgment*, always best!
*2Thessalonians 1:5 Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer.

“Have a good day always with God’s precious blessings!”
…Awesome message of triumph-anchored fervency...
Thankful for time of satisfaction's ecstasy
I have delightful hours of jubilant musings!
Sundays do enrapture me by praise-filled worship
Around fellowship-bond and Scriptures' steadfastness…
…Gearing Mondays’ pursuits of servant’s fruitfulness
Within joyful harmonious work-relationship!
On Tuesdays are routinely chores needing glow’s might
Midst smiting trials challenging my victor’s stand;
Wednesdays give respite from grievous pressures’ demand
Thru faith-driven plight toward peaceful distress-flight!
With Thursdays’ busy schedule and assignments
Divine interventions become marvelous grace
As for Fridays’ rush hours to hurdle the tough race
Coping styles work marvels in harsh engagements!
Saturdays end weeks with productive toils’ harvest
Knowing that all has been done beyond the utmost;
Though crises attack, they’re handled at prayer's cost
What matters is I spend seconds with my strength’s best!
Thus, fulfilling God's design drives my faith upward
When His granted moments are optimized indeed
That soon will create reminiscences to heed
On love-powered service as His faithful steward!*
*Luke 12:42 And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household...
Dear God,
Thank you so much for blessing me with good days by Your grace... Keep me trusting you while praising you for loving me, giving me Your Son Jesus Christ Whom I trust to have eternal life. I pray that you help me become a blessing to someone today, as I strive to share your Gospel for others' salvation. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Enclosed Rhyme
Double-binding demarcations of physical incarnation
Follow time's conceptual season path.
What we have named "time"
remains elusive, evasive,
does not present itself.
Ubiquitously coincidental with flow of thought,
fertile consciousness,
yet climatically optimized in HereNow forms.
Double-bound, double negatives
yet climaxing within dense in-formating energy
with ionic iconic positive balance.
Double-dark and dim primal enlightening Vortex
Yet encoding bilateral order within time's regenerative life-force flow.
Time's love of being,
regenerate (0)-souled systemic,
right as true as balanced,
implied contented confluence of coincidental
yet rational and just con-scientific evidence,
human natural proof
of time's smooth-emergent revolution.
From days of old till now,
Time's logos as Beloved empty Space
and fully impacted Place
has never ceased,
By which we may comprehend progenitive universed conception
as dipolar exception
co-operating inception.
Time conceives through binomial coincidation
we identity as Self Plus Other Selves,
Love of present,
with anticipated/anxious future
with faith-full/empty past,
manifestations of time's power with passion
peace with just-right sensory nest.
How does the Thinker know these shapes of nature's revolving Time?
Through multiculturing function,
Time's memory becomes co-passionately comprehensive thought,
bilateral conception,
following septum's binary dark valley of intuition,
great-dividing explicating ego from inceptive ecosystemic Time.
Double-bound marks of incarnation forward
excarnation backward,
Time's bilateral conception as contention
emerging bionically contented information.
Consciousness dances time's dance,
the singer incarnates time's song,
as Tao re-conceives spatial absence,
complex shadows of synergy.

Parallelismus Membrorum
In this special world:
Authenticity assails apprehensions and apathy
Beauty is braced by belongingness’ blessings
Compassion calls for clamor over caring control
Dedication with devotion defends any disability
Empowering while exhorting expressive exposure
Fostering family-fellowship, forgiving flaws
God-governed, graciously guarding and guiding
Hoisting, helping hearts to be happy and healthy
Influenced, ignited toward impactful inspiration
Jubilantly joyous; not jeered with unjust jest…
In this world of special children:
Kindness kindles kind kinship in their kingdom
Love leads, liberating lives midst laughter
Mercy matters most in mingling with their minds
Nice nurturing and nourishing are nevertheless nice
Optimism ought to overflow as openness is optimized
Prayer props progress while patience prospers performance
Quest for quietude quells questions and queries of quirks
Recognizing their responses renders reaction-readiness
Special is their status; such stature synthesizes social stigma
Triumphantly, they tackle their tasks toward thanksgiving…
In this world of my special child:
Understanding upholds his unfathomable untowardness
Virtues he valiantly values vanquish his vulnerability
Watching him win as workmanship of God* wakes me from whining
`Xpectant am I for his ‘xcellent ‘xpertise as `xceptional
Yes, I yield to Yahweh my son's “yeppi” and “yay” yells of victory-yearns
Zealous to zoom with him toward zenith of grateful zesty zing.
*Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
