Best Resilient Poems

Being broken into pieces by repeated defeat,
I was knocked down; heart skipped its beat,
The last hope was vanished; no signs to succeed,
Failures had drained all my energy to proceed;

People, with their own delusional notions,
Concluded that I was left with two options;
One is to stay defeated;...

A rose climbs high on lattice bare,
Through morning's warmth and evening air
Its tender vines reach ever wide, 
Yet thorns defend where petals hide.


It braves the winds, it weathers rain,
Through night's deep hush and daylight's strain.
Each leaf a witness, each thorn a shield, 
Guarding the beauty...

We dwell in the sanctuary of slumber.
Where stars fade away, light may encumber.
Oh, the comfort found in weak rays of light.
Do they disappear quickly as a...

I was ready,
I was there…
They stood me up,
They didn’t care.
They left me standing there!
But now I am good,
Now I am fine.
I’ll do this Open House another time!...

And I respond
to your unasked question:
What might love have to do with regenesis,
synthesis,
integrity?

You ask me these questions 
about framing an essential therapeutic message,
for that must be how centering questions end,
about essence
core
soul
spirit
nature

energy
guts
roots
seeds
wombs
eucharistic ZeroSum
ReGenerative Green 
Resonant and Resilient Ego/Eco-Systems.

Within their proper multicolored
frames of multicultural reference
hoping for stronger

BOTH BRILLIANT AND RESILIENT

I went along even though she wanted to rule
She forgave me for being such an ungrateful fool
We both thought we had settled the score’
She got a boyfriend and I got a whore
She crossed the proverbial street by design
But I crossed the god...

If a statement is True,
such as
I am WhiteMale,
then the oppositional statement
I am BlackFeMale
is False
which enjoys equivalent truth value with
I am NotBlack/NotFemale,
and I am WhiteMale
back where we started,
more obvious rather than less obscure.

But, if a statement is Not(Not True)
and NotFalse,
could it also be Not(Not False)?

Imagine,
if you...

The resilient warrior 
Always fought her way through 
Never gave up 
Set her sights on what she had to do 
What courage she had 
Always willing to do her best 
Rising to the challenge 
And striving for excellence...

Probably few of us
have capacity
to see ourselves
as both Angel
and Demon.

Many of us
have had the experience
of demonizing
and punishing ourselves
for sins of the past
extending into our present
festering
unresolved trauma.

Hopefully many of us
have also had the experience
of forgiveness
and saving ourselves
from sins of dis-integrity's future
because someone shared with us,
in some...

I am reading my Resilience Systems Manual,
avidly,
like an underfed developer
hoping to strike gold
while laying healthy habitat foundations.

Today I see Community Resilience mention
Tipping Points,
dipolar appositional,
when exceeded 
on a WayTooMuch Yang OverInvested
Western dualistic
nature ain't spirit
so divine couldn't be merely humane,
actively cooperating ways of not overshooting
resilient rebound.

Ranking best 
health and safety options,

Our Project Team revisits potential resources

options Win/Win inclusive,
Win/Lose defensive,
Lose/Lose mutually degenerative destruction

Outcome predictions
responding to long-experienced yields
of sacred organic relationships

not always Capitalized Thoughts
with clarifying labels, explicit

There is an important difference
between being accessible
and becoming more engaging,
engaged,
engage-able.

To access support and resources
for health care giving
and wealth care resourceful receiving
is not nutritionally sufficient to resiliently 
resonantly engage

As non-violent access 
to absence of rage
is not peace enough to fully engage 

So too,
access to eternal love,

Individual monotheistic health
hungers for
and, 
in regenerating return,
gratefully feeds 
polytheistic
polycultural
polypathic
polyphonic
polyvagal
neuro-social wealth....

air rockets skyward
uppercutting inside
plastic neon flesh
contorting at inhuman angles
what does my body language spell?

ankles anchored into the Earth
to stay grounded as the wave
of time and space crashes
a flood of stagnant flux

there is a symphony of bones
snapping and cracking
in twisted orchestrations
the act of existing for me
is...

Let Haiti be absolutely free
Haiti is the father of Freedom and Liberty
Haiti is the first nation to forever ban or abolish slavery
And the slave trade in the western hemisphere
And in the world
The first to practice absolute equality
Among men and women on this sphere
And throughout the...
