Best Sabbaths Poems

Origin of Christianity

(If you don't like religious writes don't read on)

It may surprise some that Jesus was born a Jew, his parents Joseph and Mary were Jewish, both from the tribe of Judah, in the lineage of King David.
(Matt 1:6,16)

Jesus (Latinized form of the Greek...

Isaac's son
saac's son
Saxon
O Israel where are you
I know you are not a Jew
Joseph come home
come home O child come home

I spy David's thrown
we'll have to make preparations
to bring it back to Jerusalem
so that when our savior comes home
he will have a proper place to sit
there...

Dust, sweep and mop
  Run to three or four shops
Polish silver 'til it shines
  Did we forget to buy wine

Countdown to Sabbath's begun
  So many chores to be done
Ready or not, it's time to bench licht*
  Friday goes by dizzy quick...

Now...

Around the world—evil, raging wars continue to be steadfastly
Fought in the name 
Of lasting peace;
The military industrial complexes have found the puppets
They’ve sought
 In the ruling 
West and East;
Mislead cannon fodders on each side are being sent as heroic
Anti-terrorist
To theirs and others’ death;
While the war...

OF WARS AND PEACE EVERYWHERE

Around the world—evil raging wars continue to be steadfastly fought
In the name of lasting peace;
The military industrial complexes have found the puppets they’ve sought,
Both in the ruling West and East;
Mislead cannon fodders on each side, are being sent as heroic anti...

Who am I today?
as I rise out to play
at being again
this ego I  entertained yesterday
with passion plays
creation stories
epic one-day opera
folding into Northern Autumn yet again unfolding.

Who would I choose to harvest
yet again this day?
one affectionately loyal advocate
within this day's EarthTribe Council,
considering what we have...

We pursue endless climate sabbaths,
I perhaps best and worst of all,
holidays of verdant forests floating within
oceans of atmospheric tides sucking and spewing nutrient flowing matters,
slow-dancing ecopolitical issues reincarnating history
of Earth's love of Time Herself,
rich bubbling pastures for fertile economies
of harmonically choreographed dress rehearsals,
moving from today's...

Wicked winds in the air 
      as the year
begins to draw to a close
The papers are full of murder
        and mayhem
Yet we know well how to take 
   refuge

Spiritual needs 
     must be satisfied 
as well as physical ones 
    On the road to who knows what 
We are able to grab 
   onto one of the brass rings of

The primary political and economic metaphor for human life on Earth,
at least here in these disuniting States,
is "market,"
with a consumer and a producer face;
robust, healthy, cooperatively self-regenerative markets
and depressed, pathologically self-degenerative disaster markets,
ripe for fear and anger mongering, abuse, 
and neglect of healthywealth market outcome...

Remember 
The voice that woke you up in the morning
Disremember 
The arguments that altered into mourning
Consider 
The affectionate memories that we cherish the most 
Don’t consider 
The horrifying hours that we have not spent with each other
Reflect on
The blissful Sabbaths that we’ve kept with the...

Routine rituals of everyday sacred Sabbaths,
beginning in hibernating Advent
of dawn's diurnal enlightenment Season,
becoming diastatic climax rhythms of interdependence
through Summer's noonday fertile heat,
drawing to autumnal dusk decomposing
preparation for further harvest extending families
of co-empathic nutritional digestion,
composting as praying together
within ultra-violet Winter's nondual co-arising
bright-octaved enlightenment
of deep ecological learning...

We have no sabbath on and in
of and for
deep oceanic atmospheres.

Sabbath is for cities
and the lands we share to hold them
six days per week.
Lands we gives ourselves to rest on seven,
from rabid human over-splatted population
on sacred sabbaths
of better nourished sacrament.

Over these past several years
as I...

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...
