Best Virtuously Poems

Stood I there, that last day,
On an iron bridge...
An aqueduct by design,
Where, looking dreamily out over
The Ernes Lower Lough,
My compressed shadow 
Momentarily paused -
To contently recline:
Amidst coy Junes radiant beams 
of sweet benign!
All was stilled, all was hushed,
Save vast reed beds sided by the
Shallow hills...

Winter Wildflower

A billion snowflakes do collect upon a wasteland of neglect
The sky frigid no sun to reflect appears a dot lonely specked
A tear does fall melting snow as the speck staggers to grow
A wildflower starts to sough as the winter winds seek to blow
***
Amidst frozen...

"Never, Always, Sometimes"

Never will I ever bring you pain
Even if you won't promise the same
Virtuously, your Love reigns
Eric's heart without any shame
Reviving Love just to keep me sane

Always my heart will rest in your hands
Love has been provided for this man
Warm memories outnumber a beach's...

I'm Just Getting Started

I'm just getting started, though I'm not in control,
But I am all dressed and indubitably, very well-composed,
virtuously loved by many, with honored adulation exposed,
so I lie and wait, but ready to go, anew, in my dapper clothes.

A broken watch on a floor,...

Your life on earth, though short or long,
is like a note in an endless song.
Live virtuously and make it count,
So, you can live on like a fount.

A virtuous life runs counter to,
the natural drives that propel you.
Beside desire, you need God’s aid,
to get from Him,...

From now on, I depend on God* for my salvation
Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven’s mansion
He, thru His blood, paid for my redemption
As He reached down to me with His compassion.
Thus, I possess His eternal life geared for transformation!

From now on, I rely...

I am reading minds and potentially wise political bodies
with Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, again.

He speaks of three interdependent aspects of wisdom.
The first is rooted in ecoconscious comprehension
of how and why knowledge, deductive information, facts, beliefs
may be both regeneratively positive
and degeneratively negative.
Wisdom begins with knowledge
but ends in polypathically...

Snowflakes blanketed the world in winter white

Tenderly, they touched my impeded ears

Unlocked were the passageways to discern voices

Virtuously,  they repeated in soft whispers,

"Wisdom is to be absorbed like flakes of snow on skin."

In Colchester, CT,
and possibly in your town too,
we have a LongTerm ReCoVery Committee
looking at 20/20 prevision
for post-pandemic climate health revisions
for wealthy local and global EarthJustice.

So, what have I noticed
that might be economically
and ecologically win/win useful?

In a post-pandemic
post-Trump StraightWhitePatriarchal-capitalist cabal,
post-BusinessAsUsual monoculturing economic climates
of All-Or-Nothing
Either-Or

Time begat space,
energy begat matter,
function begat form,
as Yin begat Yang.

Concave begat convex,
negative-squared begat positive,
ionic waves begat radiant sprays,
as NotNotBinomial Function begat PolyNomial Information.

Consumption begat production,
parasites begat Hosts,
electrons begat protons,
as monoculture begat polycultures.

Non-aversion begat co-arising prehension,
possession begat a conspiracy of codependence,
ignorance begat noise,
as listening begat co-mentoring.

It’s very difficult to start to write
as soon as inspiration come 
that have done it 
leading legions of others duties, 
wants, desires, tricks and trifles 
have occupied you around at all.
Suddenly you mad for cup of cave
or filling bit a hunger, 
or preferred exercise, making...

Mother, you are God’s good and great gift to me indeed
Opening and offering to my personhood … realities’ essence which I need
Teaching and training me well through your word and deed
Hoisting up my mind with truth; hedging my heart with love, devoid of greed
Enabling and...

If God
and gods
and other paternal powers
resource love,
and not hate

And if we believe
that love fades
with encroaching fear

Which can overwhelm 
personal
and professional
and economic
and local
through global 
therapeutic,
and not traumatic, 
peace passion experience

And if god
and great paternal rulers
and warriors
and heroes
are free of Loser fear

If straight white paternal privilege

Although the place where the dead go is called the world beyond,
some say that it’s located underground while others say that it’s located in heaven above.

Since the world beyond is not the real world where you and I live,
it doesn’t make any difference whether you...
