Best Taoist Poems

Tell me,
Father Time,
if you would share this space
it would mean everything to me
to us, so kind

Choosing healthiest seasons 
for your highest priority,
comprehensive
social-political-economic-cultural issues:

1. Chilling domestic economy 
flat-line trends,

2. International peace intent 
and springtime praxis,

3. Continuous Summary Improvement

What goes up
must come down.
What goes out
must come in.
What goes before
must have also come behind.
What folds
must unfold.
When time is knotted
it must unknot.
When space explains radiantly
convexly
then time implies mutually gravitationally and cooperatively,
and concavely.
What information organizes square rootedly
must decompose fractally and binomially,
in binary octaves of reverse Win-Win...

The August Sage recounts, 

For the 17 past lives I have been a Scholar Official, I was neither imperious nor inhumane. I saved the distressed, aided the desperate, succored the orphaned and borne insolence with patience. I labored at all times to forward the public...

I was baptized as a Christian,
once or twice.
It's not so much that the baptism ritual malfunctioned
in some series of unfortunate events;
It's more like Taoism as my primary ecopolitical health system,
or religion,
or metaphysic,
or whatever kind of evolutionary,
perpetually eisegetical-hypothetical,
label you choose to slap on the box
you decide...

So, yes, I'm a Taoist
A lotta' people ask me about what that means,
to be a Taoist.

And, I usually ask
What do you mean,
what does it mean?
Who said it was supposed to mean anything,
or even everything?
You must be a notnot Taoist,
everything's supposed to mean something.

Well, you're always...

Imagine with me
a bicameral NatureGod named PositiveYang
dipolar twinned with SpiritGaia named NotNot Yang,
or WinWin, for reverse dualdark YinSquared shortness 
of ecologically balancing Time.

Imagine us,
self-regenerating Positive Yang LeftBrain dominant,
as also decomposing dualdark notnot WinWin Time,
dipolar co-arising our Creative (0)Riginal EcoPolitical Intent,
our Sacred Gift of (0) ego/eco...

An old borzoi tossed out on the street
was snubbed by each stray that he’d meet
But now in Key West
where the weather’s the best
he resides in a Taoist retreat

She seemed a Taoist witch to me,
with Nature free of kind grace-filling restraints.

Surprise, then, follows her response,
"Of course I recognize Jesus as son of God
and further,
celebrate his good news
that God's creative nature remains in an evolving,
extending family way,
pregnant with healthy sons and daughters
each divinely humane,

In Taoism
as I have experienced it so far
embracing ancient nature/spirit wisdom
of Yang strong gospel anthems,
ecologically singing in all four seasons of color,
theologically dancing,
psychologically balancing,
biologically dominant and recessive reweaving combinations,

All these invite Sabbath memory
co-arising Holonic YinFlow

BiLaterally multiculturing everyday Sundays
in and from and for now
and forward,
and back...

He was a man of infinite wisdom, 
A man with esoteric knowledge 
And an alignment with nature. 

So affable was he, his people 
Cherished his presence whenever 
He would roam amongst them. 

A shy and timid man by nature, 
But with the spirit of a...

Yang (1) and Yin (0) Zones
are place-holders,
polynomial variables
for appositional co-arising relationships,
tensions, creative and not so much,
intentions

Such as white transparency and color,
white noise and resonant octaves,
monoculturalism and multiculturalistic transubstantiation,
RightWing and RightBrain
conservative of past and progressive into compassionate future
elite and inclusive non-elite, in political philosophy
and history
of colonization...

Yin listens for baseline safety,
absence of aggression,

While Yang speaks up
and out
for social
political
economic significance
without tainted infamy;
saintly synergetic
means not sinnerly energetic.

Yet ego safety
rests more likely yin flowing
in our autonomous insignificance
through resonant democratic choice-making
co-passionate Yang political health
economic wealth
worshiping sacred transcendence
of felt and needed EarthMother
and Her neighborly starlight
regenerating baseline...

I wonder what I could see without my eyes.

I wonder what I could hear without my ears.

I wonder what I could touch without my hands.

I wonder what I could remember without my nose. 

I wonder what I could taste without my tongue.

I wonder what...
