Best Sidesteps Poems

 
Galactic flashes pulse rainbow bold
bright neon waves flow into black holes.
Shooting stars ricochet through night skies
rings of Saturn cut loose and rise.

Drifting Sun sidesteps off center stage
Mercury blazes white hot, then fades.
Fat old Neptune looks bored and pouts
poor little Pluto wanders in and out.

Instant individual redemption
from predative enculturation
is overly spiritualized,
under naturalized,
rightwing evangelical dogma
more likely found in empire-building
strong business-loyalty development texts
than multi-enculturing
re-connecting
re-ligioning nature/spirit scriptures.

If spiritual 
and capital redemption from baseline natural evils
is good news for individuals,
yet inapplicable to global EarthTherapeutic potential,
then what inconvenient truth remains
bad news for retributive 
win/lose...

Abecedarian poems are also known as alphabetical sequential writings.
Being deviously different and difficult to
Compile, compose and complete.  Consequentially combining
Determination and deviant, driven poets devote determined time, and  
Exercise extreme etymological enthusiasm 
For forging a fitting composition that
Guarantees generous grades, and gracious responses.
Hardly a...

we sing and dance and write
cornered this way
mercy of lies
mercy for the liars
believe me when i say it
i sing and dance to break a leg
break my own ankle on center stage to take this away
an age old cliche
corner your mind
to corner mind
together we say the...

Those long days gone by
in wisps of Autumn fields
how rare that it was at
Uncle Paul's in  October.
He kept the orchard smooth as horse skin,
the grass cleanly mowed.
And the sidesteps were trimmed and
neat, no weeds in his backyard grew.
Sitting within this hunk of splendor
was his...

A Tao (0)Mega Tipping Point Zen-Christ
could become no better or worse than your own spiritual experiences
of your own bicameral mindbody of Christianity.
These Christ-icons are all made of the same LeftBrain yeast
becoming fully diastatic bread
becoming RightBrain's fully diastatically Beloved Community Body.

Jesus of Nazareth
was neither the first...

Graciousness

Graciousness reaches out to smooth, to embrace, ruffled emotions
Looks beyond affronts – lifting mercy up on reconciling arms
True thoughtful courtesy caresses inflamed scars like a soothing lotion,

Graciousness reaches out to smooth, to embrace, ruffled emotions
Listens with a chivalrous heart – welcomes kindness compassion born 
Sidesteps...

If you had never trusted him to be
THE one and had not proffered him your heart~~
Accept it, love. Please treat it tenderly~~
it could not have been wholly ripped apart.

If you had never trusted anyone
with secrets that...

We are as He

Do we feel not yet, God’s grace graze our head
He judges not if we are deserving 
Let’s take His hand and be heavenward led
Whilst partaking of a large bliss serving

Empty radiant heart, poised in the void
Vaporised presence sidesteps ego urge
No longer thus...

Just be still when bliss beats cascade 
Resist not love’s embrace
Enjoy soul’s consciousness upgrade
Enabled by God’s grace

Awareness perceptive
Tranquil and receptive 
Sidesteps fears deceptive 

Voids will fill
Just be still

airing zeal! If (dog forbid) the richly paid, namebrand

Courage: I am what I am
and that is a 
 soul
emerging through physical forms
and reminding me of the
 whole...
My desires are not my job,
relationship or figure,
but the divine resonance of a light essence
 bigger.
Bigger than I had seen,
my omnipresence.
Bigger than a dream

"What is truth?"

When you sidestep Jesus, 
You sidestep Truth. 

When you sidestep Truth, 
You mask corruption. 

When you mask corruption, 
Truth sidesteps you.

We look outward, here upon earth
Ego anchored, devoid of mirth
Fleeting joy that’s mirrored by pain
Bound head to foot by desire’s chain
Caught in a web, our heart did weave
Time’s now that we cease to so grieve
Conscience showing us path correct
That love aligned, we stand erect

Before each...

stopped up 
knotted
but not afraid
look where I’ve landed
in this short
charade
sidesteps 
widesteps
and 
serenades
I’ve been
depending upon
promises
that were
never made
moving up
slowing down
tired of wearing
this heavy
crown
what’s that you’re
saying
is that a 
question
or a 
lifeless sound
limp
lost and 
longing
for a way
to be seen
wondering if this
time around
has meant
much of
anything
wondering how I
got here
have forgotten
the road
lost...
