with youthful passion
she quivered under his touch
they soared together
in old age
he longs for her response

I am cool water,
You are a lily, upon ...
I move around and about -
Sustain you, cradle you.
Drink of me ...
And bloom!
You are blossom, soft,
To my supple branching ...
You are fragrance and beauty,
Giggling in the breeze.
Hold tight to me ...
And abound!
I am a mistral, aloft,
You, the waxwing dancing -
Unseen and unknowable, yet ...
I am care and constant.
Press your wings upon me ...
And soar!

Sweet basil, bee delight
Honey maker unknown
Synergy
Realm of humankind wheedled in reset,
Homeland beray, lull to beset,
Scrawling the parchment to a keyset,
Xenophobia in callousness,
Dearth to darn the clout concord.
Orness synergy alliance the terrene.
Berth errand the rassle office,
Commissions detach the hassle orifice...
Pensile the ensile spirits,
Circumscissile recoiled resiliency,
Nuanced tensile expansionism...
Normalise a new normal,
Order the prime heart to bloom,
Taper our united dreg to blossom...
Blight in frights,
Dight the twinight against any affright,
Infinity within.
Yes, it's all about love,
and a highly proactive form of peace,
about both what's fair,
and what's also kind,
both long-term,
and right now.
It's all about vocation,
and paying the bills,
and enjoying life as production
as well as healthy nutritional consumption.
Most certainly all of those things.
But, organic farmers and permaculture designers,
master gardeners and cooperative developers,
ministers and healers and therapists of all types,
from physical through mental through systemic information network designers,
might use some different language
to define this love and active peace with justice, fairness, kindness,
well-being optimization.
A metasystemically therapeutic,
synergizing,
energizing,
dialectically emergent therapy
enriching,
nutritionally optimizing individual,
couple,
family,
and/or EarthTribe,
grows economic mutually mentoring redeemers,
human natural ecologist cooperatives;
a perma/polycultural balancing
harmonic Beloved Community.
Spectral light resounding arcs,
healing atheistic justice,
positively bow toward resonant
pantheistic patterned peace
and negatively bend
dissociating dissonant monotheistic trauma.
So too,
wealthy sounding polyphonic cadence
can feel drawn
toward deeply panentheistic
meaning-fullness
Despite no healthy polypathic narrative
widely polymathic democratic speed
of inspiraling light
and fractal-powered purpose
When justice shows up
I don't have to solve your world,
nor you resolve my mind
to body shows just cadence up
maybe isn't quite so marching down.
Just grow out capital His-story.
Throw out whatever wealth-eulogies we can find,
they'll never change our warring minds.
Justice grows unshout out
unpeace changing calm
wise-womanologies.
Peace flows up
Down deep
where old whores have discovered luck
of justice so blind she'll never He be
come slippery wet between our beats;
hungry peace flows out.
Just stand up.
Down sliding stairs of glaring need,
gliding prayers of blaring greed,
crying slayers of darkened creed,
slying players of slutty breed,
flying nayers of righteous steeds
Let just Us free
Earth's kosmic karmic bleed
Flow fueling
light speed rebounding spirals
associate bowing toward resonant
patterned persistent peace
unbendingly dissociate
disturbing dissonant pleas
resisting monotheistic trauma.
Responsibility for our actions
(Synergy and magic)
By Michelle Morris
17/02/2023
We fight over land
We fight over sea
We fight over resources
As we deplete them
We claim sovereignty
We draw lines and maps
We think we are separate
Because of our flags
Yet, no one seems to realise
That we own nothing on Earth
We delude ourselves
And destroy Nature's hearth
Most of what we claim
Never was ours to begin with
All the sacrifice and discord
Instead of synergy and magic
Mother Earth needs our help
She needs our love and resolve
To heal her soil and her oceans
To heal her essence and her heart
We must save our flora and fauna
Cleanse our air and our waters
We are responsible for our actions
We are responsible for the future
When our bees die, our future is curtailed
When our forests are gone, our lungs will gasp
When our food is depleted, we will perish
Unless we work together, we won't last
We fight over land
We fight over sea
We fight with each other
Over resources and means
It somehow never cognitively registers
That we are killing ourselves
With every war and strife
With all our pesticides and plastic waste
We claim sovereignty
We draw lines and maps
But nowhere do we draw
Responsibility for our actions
© Michelle Morris, 2023
Staying away to give a way
For the best future to sway
Not only as an individual
But also as a group in social.
No more any routine acts
Not in the quantum of reacts
Nothing to ponder into for fact
But surely to have unique in fact
We grow to become shorter
We develop to become wanderer
We live and die in this process
But in within we have wiseness
Having physical rest in quality
Psychological test in tranquility
To infuse new lease of energy
To transfuse strength in synergy
Have I simply risen
up to meet your
falling expectations?
Or, are we so matched
(as we believe)
that love's the merest consequence
of our sweetest of summations?
The opposite of life
is death
The polar opposite of eternal health
is terminal disease,
with unease perhaps lying/truthing
in-between timelessness
and untimely demise
So too,
my opposite of steady compassion
may be your unsettling dispassion
Elation v deflation
of all these oppositional answers above
as clear
as unclear appositional questings
below.
What is my opposite of suicide?
Self promotion?
Ego inflation?
Having all my consuming needs
fully answered?
Or
maybe some uneasy questing
timeless mind
and spacious body
in-between healthy Now
And death-defying
death-denying
death-defining
death-despairing
death-despoiling
AnthroLove Here
Remains part of EarthLife There
whenever tomorrow comes
Now?
As Me curiously questioning
feels like our lonelier half
of We not yet
finally answering?
What could appositionally rebalance
death's final answering Earth-climate
and life's open questioning Anthro-culture?
What is the opposite of lively ruminations
and deadly ideations?
What lies contentious truths contenting,
In-between EarthBody's discommunication
desecrating death
and AnthroMind's sacred communion life?
