Best Refueling Poems


Premium Member Last Night

I laid out on my porch last night
Listening to coyotes rage a fight
I watched the moon with her bright, full face
Place a blanket of shadows o’er the landscape

Tree frogs croaked a lullaby
I saw night critters scamper by
I breathed in the cool, fresh night air
As my body gave up its daytime cares

Inside the house everyone was asleep
After praying the Lord their souls to keep
I simply marveled at this nighttime world
Watching Mother Nature play like a little girl

Stars were twinkling in the midnight sky
Even saw a satellite passing by
My mind was clear of whos, whats, whens and whys
The tear that fell was from a happy cry

I laid out on my porch last night
Refueling my soul for the coming light

Premium Member Peaceful Accounting

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,
political intent,
power assumptions,
love,
light of truth,
beauty,
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.

Premium Member Something Special

I lost something special
Just when I was at the threshold
The dark forces took hold
Many a time this has been told

Knowing now that new hands embrace
What was once mine this elegant gift of grace
Mesmerized I was the moment I faced
These thoughts I often retrace
The pleasure of leather and lace

A connection shared by one who was true
Transformed and taken by this evil shrew
It was all because of you this evil in her grew
Cruelly abused by the family she knew

Attracted to negative energies attraction
The alcohol is a chemical reaction
Be her method of usual distraction
Granting momentary satisfaction

Recognizing that the love of oneness is true
Does not leave me feeling blue
For loving still holds harder the glue
Refueling my spirit a new

To be patient for this is no game
Nor do I seek favor and fame
For loves fire overcomes the pain
No matter how far the distance you name

So, no matter where life carries you
No matter it is whatever you do
From stones and bullets by you
My love will always remain with you


Premium Member Hypocrisy In White

I am reading
"Democracy in Black"
by Eddie S. Glaude, Jr.
but continue reconstructing this title
"Hypocrisy in Only White."

Because
when I let my memory
look back to my own self-interests in history
as archaeological digging and prying and discovery,
adventure and curiosity
of my internal ecological development,
I reweave back
through still on-going matriarchal lines
that include,
are shared with,
anyone capable of reading
and comprehending
these words of regenerating memory.

Back
to darker
denser
richer genes and memes
of cooperative to still thrive today,
saving competitions for survival moments.

Back to
better to prey together
side by side
as neanderthal brothers and sisters
than to grow predative
against each other.

This Golden Rule
of dark Afro-Eurasian
equatorial resonant depth
of historical origin
in normative play
at least until we substitute capitalism's
supremacist agendas
for rationalism's ego-ecocentric
reweaving memory
of this original Earth Mom
magical and mysterious
then worshiped and danced
ritualed and cooperative ownership co-governing,
then more modern radical eccentricities
forgetting our shared matriarchal
regenetic
memory of dualdark
hypocrisies of merely white inferiority
complexes
disease
dissonance
despair of remaining fully
who we together are,
where we have been
predating history
where we could return
each morning
with greatest polyphonic joy.

To paraphrase David Holmgren
(Permaculture, p. 113)
Containers were one essential organic innovation
necessary for this cooperative agrarian revolution.
Opportunities to refill organically produced bodies
are enormous
transitioning into recycling energy descent
for shared cooperative memory.
Reimaging full organic containers
is far better than sending us
away and down and out for recycling.
Most official ecopolitical waste reduction strategies
place little emphasis
on organic reuse refilling re-educating
deep ecologically learning containers,
or confuse WinWin refueling,
reweaving,
with capitalism's WinLose recycling,
switching productive containers
into merely consuming eventual empties,
bleached-out white-washed faded hypocrisies
of purest supremacy against nothing 
deeply densely 
richly resonantly valued.

Existence In Exile

Existence in Exile


Dispensing realities of parallel dimensions thrown into alternate extensions
Panoptical parasitical pretensions lie the overlords of illegitimate intentions
Chaos encroaches an anomaly serving the omnipresent obsolescent odyssey
Travelers of space-time unconsciously rediscovering the past sacred geometry

Hemispheres of dormant deceptions live deceivers of maleficent conceptions
In the cosmic corridors of corrections and refueling in the abyss of reflections
Within infinite bubbles of the multiverse navigating neglectfully we traverse
A catatonic continuum we immerse as we ride the eternal elliptical in reverse

For now we welcome the wormhole entering worlds of the carcinogenic cabal 
Into oleaginous oblivions we crawl with ideological illusions we habitually haul
Within a consciousness condemned and realities severely sacrificially stemmed
Amidst a hellion hyperspace suspend will we arise altruistic aligned and amend?

My Soul Is An Ocean

My soul is an ocean..
I wade in euphoric waters all day
In my dreams I am a traveler
But when awoken I come to life
I swim along as the hours pass by
Until again I drift off into the night

Do you think it should be reversed?
Am I dreaming or awake?
Some think that it is a curse but 
Against the grain is the bed that I make

My soul is an ocean..
I am at one with my mind
I might be human
A mere traveler by moonlight
To pass by the time
But in my heart I am sublime

Thoughts are waves
My feelings are the currents
I'm constantly wading, awaiting
Refueling in the waters that give me life

Tide pools for eyes
When you look at me am I there?
I am not lost
My soul is just an ocean..


The Human Race 2017

The Human Race, 2017

There is no ‘White Supremacy’; there is no ‘Black Lives Matter’
But who has been refueling
                 To make this hatred fatter
It's never black and white, but everything in between
We are; The Human Race
                 And we differ in how we see

There is no ‘Rich Vs. Poor’; yet, less a ‘Middle Class’
Who is growing our dependencies?
		To control the way we act
Where have gone the dreamers; small business, building lives
Who is costing us our future?
		With taxes, fees, and lies

The pros and cons of history, so, why should statues fall?
Another way devised to blind us
		And to keep the racial stalls
We are all in this together, and together we must stand
To recognize each other
		To serve the common man

We are all in this together, and together we’ll be strong
Remember: We The People
		Cause politics, will always, ‘play’ us wrong

Premium Member New Wine From Brown Skins

Brown barren bush
stretches deep down
away from sun's refueling light
recalling our shared history
still composts Earth's co-invested
soil,
soulful mystery.

"Rejoin Earth's cooperative"
s/he says
marvelously,
reinvesting in humane religion.

S/he sways silent aloha peace
namaste
have our enlightened day
empowering together.

I look away
to write to us
about us
with us
for us
emerging,
evolving our co-revolving Roots
in eggs like seeds,
sacred breeds 
and divine feeds.

Salute To the Tortoise

Citadel of wits and tricks
Who appears wimpish;
But your back is stronger
And harder than Olumo rock,
And the great walls of China;
Citadel of wits and tricks
Who staggers like a Kampf panzer,
Through thick and thin, 
Rough and tough terrains unscathed 
You who have no foundation,
But, your house is sturdier 
Than Buckingham palace,
I salute you 

You, 
Whose legs are short
But covers miles without refueling...
You, who stump, trump, trample,
Hustle and bustle 
Where the high and mighty
Fear to thread
I salute you 

The day a swart of hungry crocodiles 
Stumble on you,
Their knife-like fangs become obsolete 
When a swarm of starving lions encounter you,
They go home angry and hungry
A black, insidious mamba
Retreats and recoil
When it confronts you
The day a stray elephant 
Steps on you,
It looses balance
The panzer who cannot fire a cannon
But repels a thousand loose cannons
With it's impregnable back,
I salute you

Citadel of wisdom, wits and tricks
Whom our sacred African oracles rely on,
I salute you!

Typical

On Sundays I go to the bank
So I can fill up my gas tank
I dislike refueling
When Putin is drooling
But I'm just a typical Yank

Premium Member Advent of Suppression

After required Thanksgiving Day
and depressing night
I awoke surprised
by release into ego-homelessness.

What could sad night despairs mean?
Reiterating loss of grateful identity
mysteriously disappearing through this habitat's coldly absent roof
of sacred grace
space.

Why would capital depression,
RightBrain suppression
and historic patriarchal suppression
suddenly gang up more gracefully,
less threateningly,
on ZeroZone ego-homelessness
freely chosen
before rudely thrown out
for lack of paternal place.

RightBrain fullness of soul
remains ZeroZen timeless re-identification
with one empty homeless side 
without exterior shelter.
But, for how long could eternity reweave
temporary housed DNA souls
becoming Earth's healthy resilient lifeline?

Advent invites homeless nurturing adventures
into matriarchal kindness, silent advances
into wildly blind blizzards
binding sun's enchanting rainbow promise 
watering returns to Earth's temporary spring sanctuary
refueling DNA's homeless 
yet robust 
absence of perpetually living boundaries

Toward, rather than against, Earth's healthy wealth 
future identity transgenerating
transubstantiating temporary sanctuaries
in humane health-identity space,
Earth's co-arising sacred time
of ego's non-sectarian summer
for ecology's ecstatic climate climax.

Mutually homeless failing falling theology pilgrims,
EgoYang and EcoYin polypathic souls
overshadowed
by Earth's great green sanctuary 
assigned to re-study timeless regenetic root systems
playing WinWin ZeroSoul revolutionary games
for homeless trusted identity, sheltering
from wildly wounded wandering
within chronic asylum anxiety,

Lost in lonely inside forests
quaking, 
outside breaking 
patriarchal fake-sanctuary voices
inside cooperative matriarchal wombing choices.

A lot of cold windy Dad talk
trumped 
in each infant WinWin womb
by Mom's resolute inside nutritional walk.

Homeless ego child
re-connecting inside this eco-womb,
preparing to journey home again
by sacred light of wintry advent's dawn

After thanksgiving days
and depressing night
re-awakening surprise
of ego's wandering 
health-rooted adventurous soul
revolution dawning in darkest brights.

Premium Member Polyvagal Wonder Wandering

I often am reminded
we are far more alike than different,
we all enter and exit through co-arising windows
of wombed opportunity 
and wounded risk.

Yet, I wonder,
as I converse with bicamerally horizontal trees
and bipartisan 
heart-trunk 
refueling bushes

Each breathing in productive fuel
and breathing out consumer satisfaction,
or not so much
each regenerating and decomposing season

How far more winter dormant alike 
our summer summoned season reasons
than neuro-diversely different
are RNA's DNA younger crowning branches
of sacred Earth's polypathic 
root systemic treasons

LoveLife framed
resiliently entering and exiting 
through co-arising windows
of wombed win/win 
cooperative opportunity 
springtime roots
and wounded win/lose 
competitively risky 
autumnal leaving crowns.

A Face

The face of a beautiful dream is your friendship
I see that without complaints and am content with all
This face is my love than a a deep sea 
I knew your picture that never erase in my life

Everything about you makes me pleasure
Knowledge about you was always perfect
Your smile alone sent me over the edge
Be forever on your company

Others ask me your name but 
I am familiar with your pleading eyes
I don’t know what it is so
And I judge with your soul

With you my sky was green 
And grass was blue
And my body gets refueling 
Before I tackle more

Your presence is precious 
Than good deeds that I seek
Hope you have sufficient patience for all
I find the guidance in your presence

This face is my life-boat and 
Everything beautiful in the world
Then I leave from my worries
Yet we were what we were love make at all.

My Sigh of Relief Is

my sigh of relief is 
my flyswatter of release
i wrap my left hand tightly 
around the handle and kill
all that blocks my forward
view

my sigh of relief is
my extravagant 
exhalation period
i get up off of the 
cold, damp ground
and begin my New
Journey floating

my sigh of relief is
my personal, needed 
church service
i get on my knees and
give God Thanks and 
Praise and feel better
like Kisses from Heaven

my sigh of relief is
my surefire way back 
to Me
i prepare breakfast for 
the Next Day's refueling
and then i say a little Prayer
of Recharge and Resurgence
for My Self....
