I am certain that I have been here as I am now a thousand times before, and I hope to return a thousand times. Quote by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
In the vast yarn of life, we are but a solitary thread.
A spirit bound to the mortal coil, a life to be led
In a bygone era, our purpose seemed unclear.
Orts of Hokum: with each life, eons disappear,
A truth does, however deep within us, reside.
A flash of awareness, an insight that can't hide.
We, as mortal beings, strive to find purpose in life.
Not only Immortal souls—entangled in earthly strife.
On this avid adventure, our souls embark.
In an unending trail of wisdom—an eternal spark.
We tackle time, relishing the rally of each life anew.
In our quest—from roots to tallies—we pursue
What is the reason for our Aeonian cycle of life?
Struggling with the turmoil of shelved inner rife.
What is the underlying function—this cycle serves?
If, with each birth, our memories veer and swerve,
Maybe it serves as a lesson for a person to grow.
To relinquish the falsehoods we falsely show.
Learn compassion and empathy, understand,
Every soul we cross paths with—is an integral bland.
And as we journey through this cosmic dance,
We realize that life is not just happenstance.
There is a purpose to this eternal quest.
A deeper meaning we must manifest.
As we cross the loops of birth and death, we evolve.
By pondering life's nexus, we nurture our resolve.
Reincarnating across the years—a destiny unknown,
We aim to arise and boost our conscious mind zone.
In this grand adventure, we find our souls are free.
To explore the vast realms of possibility.
And though our memories may fade away,
Our essence remains, guiding us on our way.
In each lifetime, we embark on a cosmic quest.
To experience the full spectrum—a rattling best.
Love and loss, joy and pain—they all intertwine.
Guiding us through this earthly terrain, divine

Our cooperative DNA research
reveals a realistically positive attitude
and eco-founded optimism,
along with some acceptance of dissonance
as not merely dysfunctional.
with ego-learning
re-extending sacred ecological merit
to help us accomplish great loves
in all integrity's polypaths
of shared EarthTribe ReGenerative Daily Life.
What we still do not know,
yet hope is true and beautiful and healthy,
ecotherapeutic,
Why do our day-to-day decisions
co-determine how each Ego navigates through great and small transition points,
why identity co-evolves through and beyond
each EgoRelational Life?
What if DNA/RNA Solidarity
lives even another thousand years of Earth Days?
Reincarnating fresh mindbodies
possessing, owning, claiming,
proclaiming polyculturally re-ligioning memories
of this 1(0)-EgoMind/EcoBody we are collectively becoming,
back in this Trans-ReLigioning EarthNetwork Era
On back through 1/(0)

of EarthDay octaved co-passionate

Earth Day,
emerging from red dawns
resonating through true blue dusk
wealthy moonlit Earth Nights
ruled by Bodhisattva PeaceWarriors.
To love each day
as if 1(0)-eternal co-binary
anticipates this Self/Other perpetuating
EarthDay/Night co-emerging planet,
consulting and consorting
with one's most delighted
non-zero healthy
cooperatively overflowing Ego
as self-other co-relational
wealth of identity.
Any day that feels more confined by fear and anger
mind-neglect and/or body-abuse
than refined by love
as healthy desire
for EarthTribe re-ligioning peace
for Ego as for each EcoCentered Other,
is another day invested
in learning what EarthDay integrally means
by resolving win/win love
your win/lose enemies
To know and respect Ego's contentious boundaries,
pretentious boulders
along Earth's Tao River
of Yang/Yin co-gravitating

Quaint bells of symphony,
swelling over
vast corridors of the mind
filming scenes from remote past
in kaleidoscopes of living colour
strumming..
with virtuosic intensity
on mind's tormented strings
reincarnating
exorcised demons
undressing
raw putrefying wounds
rusty hinges creaking noisily as
grating shovels on ice
skelenton closet swings eerily open
creatures baring hideous teeth
lay siege on my sanity
and haunt my sleep.

because life is limited
men measure the length of life
using the rulers marked to their own standard;
some cry, some sigh, some worry to death, while others,
tremble with uncontrollable rage; yet they struggle to stretch
their life as long as they can and hold onto it, though they know
very well life is misery
the poor kneel down at dawn in front of unknown divine spirits,
offering freshly drawn water and begging for relief from
dire poverty and for a better life;
the rich are hanging onto the elixir of eternal life,
which was tens of thousands of years of constant exertions to discover;
but the ends are the same, every one most go someday and that’s why, though not of own will, but with closed resigning eyes submit to death
and that makes me wonder why pathetic life is not worth
stretching or reincarnating though, everyone is hanging onto
an illusory hope that is thinner than a spider web
agonizing to extend it;
no matter how large sum the money you spend
there is no miracle drug warrants for eternal life;
no matter how much you cry at the top of your voice
there is no spirit would hear your cry;
every life, poor or rich, must go one day
why doesn’t anyone admit themselves that every life is destined
from birth to die? all are dwelling on this side of the river
for a while and time comes most cross the river. they step on
the stepping stones that extend to the eternal world laying
beyond yonder horizon. even though this world may be a challenging place to live for a while.
last night, I saw many souls crossing over the stepping stones
to the other side of the world, they looked so pathetic because
they were dragging their feet with drooping shoulders as if cows
taken to a slaughterhouse

I wish somebody would’ve told me
Since reincarnating as a camel
It is not all it’s cracked up to be
Thought it would be fun to be this mammal
Since reincarnating as a camel
I’ve taken my fair share of lumps
Thought it would be fun to be this mammal
I spit too much and have these awkward humps
I’ve taken my fair share of lumps
It is not all it’s cracked up to be
I spit too much and have these awkward humps
I wish somebody would’ve told me

Those who believe analogically divine beauty,
like dipolar co-arising symmetry
between polyvagal referee
and polynomial referent,
emerges from a humane ecological truth story
too often forget both positive
and not negative oppositional bipolarity
co-binary principles
of dialogical true and false,
like truly false subjective referees
analyzing falsely true objective referents,
and appositionally vice versa
could not co-emerge bilateral
integrity between dancer and dance
human regenerator and divine regeneration
ecologist and ecological relationship
analyst and analogical co-relationship
metaphysician and physical relationship
without our
experience of ecologically co-operative synergy
evolving
analogically elegant integrity
and therefore dialectically appositional logic
of co-evolving neurosystemically humane referees
and ecosystemically divine referents
in a co-binary +1/-(-0) biometric win/win system
Reincarnating
bilateral co-intelligence of analogical trust
in polyculturally divine physical dances
multiculturally climaxing humane metaphysical dancers
recreating ecologically healthy referent
and analogically wealthy referee
win/win communication stories
Most elegantly poignant for
those who believe analogically divine beauty
emerges from a humane ecological truth story,
as I most polymathically do.

EcoTherapy grows primal health and vigor identity,
we are only,
and always,
integrity's cooperative therapeutic potential
for peace.
All else creates fantasy,
disillusion,
dissociation,
empty warrior myths,
dissonance.
More resiliently resonant creation stories
unfold eco-cultural nutrients,
hidden within history's hard-bound
revolutionary
dipolar covers
engaging time's perennial regenesis
Recreating optimal EarthSoul identity
dimming anthro-ego's dominance
reincarnating global resonance
As silence invites ringing waves
of universally uniting rhythm
pattern
dual dark dance.

An important political
and economic issue,
at least for me:
What do I nurture?
What do we invest
and reinvest in?
If this Taoist "jaw" of Great TippingPoint Green Transition
toward Earth's vast climate healthy wealth
must nurture LeftBrain Yang dominant red
Team competitions with,
and not against,
nationalism's StraightWhiteMale violent privilege,
then how do EarthResidents also,
and more RightBrain primordially,
nurture Earth's dipolar co-arising recreation?
Do I even try to nurture natural spirit investments,
conscientious re-ligion,
re-connections of
and for
cooperative secular/sacred reconciliations,
natural/spiritual remunerations,
yang/yin bilaterally restoring
Earth's vast regenerative,
nonviolently communal,
ego/eco-NonZero balancing emergent Zone
of Heaven/Earth revolving
Co-empathic,
co-gravitating,
co-arising dipolar bicameral communication,
polypathic health/wealth developing systems
for nurturing RightBrain mercy
with LeftBrain restorative justice,
cooperative solidarity
with pro-active hope
That our most transcendent ego-liberal freedoms
remain systemically centered
for nurturing Earth's Great Green Transitional interdependence

Life seems
at times,
sometimes chronically usual
and sometimes more critically unusual,
Life seems to see a too large familial
and/or global space
between Winning outside less
and not Losing inside more,
Life unfolds feelings
differentiating between usually
and just sometimes
would be a healthier Win
for anger management
and depression
and manic bipolar issues,
polemics,
bipolarities Left against Right
too LoseLose negatively dissonant,
disassociating from authentic
integrity
health-wealth identity.
Yet,
in our next moment,
claustrophobic narrow ways
between Winning freedom and light
and not also Losing life and love
unveil a culturally treacherous walk.
A personal yet also political and economic stalk
through a narrowing last second
in LeftBrain dominating Time
reincarnating EarthClimates
All, or most,
Either winning or losing
attachment to detachment
attacking
future life of humble sufficiency Left-Right fortune,
seen through Earth's timeless creative RightBrain lens
casting past death
of Ego's immanently inaccurate
decomposing misfortune
denying untimely WinLose events.
Exhausting WinWin divine inspiration,
finding ribboned rivers of YangHeaded hope
between hearing Winning dipolarity
yet also not seeing bipolar Losing co-gravity
what Sacred EarthTime never RightBrain autonomously owned
or could eternally LeftBrain co-redeem alone
while co-advocating creation,
regenerative
creolizing
transubstantiations
between healthy Left
and wealthy WiseElder Matriarchal Right.
Bicameral life seems to see a larger revolutionary space
between Winning outside time more ecologically healthy
and not Losing inside sacred place
love multi-theological wealthy.

Political Verse
Soul, Soul, where art thee?
I lie sleepeth, in the halls of
the underworld, as my spirit
roam freely, reincarnating
as different beings, going
in and out of existence.
When the flower of life,
gives life, my soul awakens
from a deep rooted sleep.
As I travel down the vine,
matter begins to shape
and mold me, as
a body awaits for my return.
Bright lights is all I can see,
speaking to myself, where art thy?
So many unfamiliar faces.
I instantly knew, my
pureness will become perverted.
As my soul, grew within this body,
so, did an ego.
It hijacked my soul and bound it.
I became a doublemint twin.
Light and darkness,
which grew, a duality, a form
and an emotional side
of me. Unable to balance
the equilibrium, darkness
became the master
over my emotions.
The uncharted side of me
wept in sorrows, while
the egotistical side of me
relished every moment of it.
As I wept, more and more
of me became,
revealed to me, which
was my true self in light form.
Radiating, faster than
the atoms that were firing
within my own brain.
Erupting, flaming, kindling
is what sparked my emotions
to weigh the scales of my freedom,
as my emotions became motion
it dissipated into one,
amalgamating with the ether.

Growing towards our destiny to begin a new domain.
Reincarnating theories that brings us back again.
The never ending cycle,out where man may peer!
The heavenly oracles we shared in joys and fears!
The power that is abundant,the suns in our very self!
Showering eternal lights as other suns appear as well!

Epitaph
Who else knows what the soul is doing?
she fools the body to its lasting ruin
without her, body not a whole
all of these we call a soul?
She never dies but keeps reincarnating
and keeps the body in deep contemplating
she killed the body, and she wouldn't die
oh what a thousand years, if she be tie.
How a soul, a necessary evil
thou hath commitment, but never in full
because you suffer and relish with the body
but when you leave, who can study?
To body, you're the one it be trust
but with dagger, in its heart you thrust
how uneasy it is to know her range
when body wrinkles, she wants a change.
In one body today, another tomorrow
how you left and put body in sorrow
in your absence, presents cry and wail
fast you go in a speed of rail
She hath a heart of immortality
and to body, mortality
shame on body that live today and die tomorrow
so unto new body, the soul could borrow
Her journey in the body a thankless one
when battling the body, she always won
how you left one, unfortunate
and possess another, a fortunate
When she leaves, the body decay and rust
how shameful that it forever turned into dust
how blissful will it be that both be dead in unity
but she betrays the body and remain till eternity.

Lyric
TO BE A POET
I want to be a poet
To express what I feel,
And where my voice is revealed
In each letter and poem.
Inside of me
There is a world of nostalgia
Also of memories,
That can be heard,
Hoping someday
Be read and touch hearts.
I do not want to achieve glory.
Nor much less fame.
My mind has no room for that.
Sometime
I will see my dream come true.
To be a poet.
I want to be a poet,
To share what I feel,
In every thought and word.
And reach all corners of the world.
And that or those
That read this poem,
Will be watching on me
A portrait of a poet
Reincarnating through a pencil and paper
my mood:
Of a poet.

Verse
Dimension zero is divineIf God exists he’s here to find
Where all dimensions intertwine
To underlie sublime design
Dimension one is deemed a dot
Life’s starting point, existence’s plot
The joint of nothing and a lot
As emptiness becomes a thought
Dimension two morphs points to lines
Defining axis X and Y
A 3-D line becomes a tube
Circle to sphere, and square to cube
As mass and gravity combine
In three-dimensional design
Dimension four will not ignore
Gaps between after and before
Boredom’s a whore and wait’s a crime
Therefore dimension four is time
Always ahead but yet behind
Time measures everything alive
Time resurrects dimension five
The fifth dimension is the mind
Dimension six is the “unknown”
Life’s questions thrive here on their own
“Why are we here?’ ‘Are we alone?”
The answers rein the 6-D throne
Seven dimensional is luck
That choice of when and where to stop
Choice is the taker-chance on top
As choice and luck retreat to ....
The eighth dimension is the soul
Here, space and time defy control
Two black holes mate, creating 8
Reincarnating the innate
The next dimension is cloud nine
The high that tries to mime divine
As all extremities combine
From highest high to deepest depth
Nine is the high of crystal meth
The ecstasy of life and breath
Too bad the tenth dimension’s death

Remember the Sabbath
to keep it holy
free of Shoulds.
A should-free cathedral
of intimate athleticism
romantic
exotic
ecstatic
euphoric
erotic
Exhausts this sabbath light
at long last
widely dawning deeply stronger
and resiliently handsome
dark as night
In virtuously enlightening response
to Saturnight's weekly exorcism
annihilating
exhausting
expiring
Yet another weekday week
weak slow-groan degenerjism
Darkly precipitating
sweaty penetrating night seductive mares
aggravating
congregating
irritating
neighing
sedating
constipating
All my life
I've been waiting for you
my Sunday not not should
embrace every daytime athlete
with unconditional
warm felt regard
Up on two feet
with spiritually natural intent
of sabbath hot passions
including,
but not exclusively hoarding,
frontal poles
and backside holes
Balancing sabbaths neurosensory integrity
extending virally out and virtuously circling in
stretching strength
of bilateral heart pumps
and lung inflations
and limb elations
stretching Sunday loves
and bipartisan 1 plunging into 0
every polynomial weekday
binomial cooperative
co-invested
convexly concaved
not-not straight but spiraling round
wholesome inside/outside balance
In co-empathic sabbath passions
free of shaming Others
preaching teaching virginal should not
remember SaturNightMare's
BlackHole peak experience
anticipating this new athletic Sunday Service
ReMembering
ReIncarnating
ReLigioning Sabbath
to keep it holy
free of Othering Shoulds.
