written by nondual co-arising NatureSpirits
dipolar appositionally rooted
of and for regenerative naturehealth = spiritwealth,

Born in the Goshen ghetto,
bound by an Ashkenaz forged umbilical chain
Beloved mother was Jim Crow lynch poor,
adored father was the Uncle Sam same
Third-generation slaves,
pauper freed allegedly
But royal blood their ancestors  
sweaty tears did bleed
From...

In a short time, you will be my executioner.
Your actions shall be considered a favor.

I, Mary Stuart, am grateful for your sympathy.
You are putting me out of my...

Clementine was gourmet fresh, 
plump and glowing no matter the season.
A monumental bargain for those with taste
who did their shopping at the misfit market.

We all wanted inside her space.
A human buffet flavored for nibbling 
and...

You’re an asshole.
Words muttered out of context, out of line.
A rage-shadowed truth,
but with such unexpected forthrightness,
it missed its mark,
serving only to deepen our divide.
Home is no longer where happy is.
I’m not sure it ever was....

THE X-FACTORS

I was told that structure forms from idioms.
That to construct vision is a way of seeing what needs to be done.
This is when norms of humanity are formed.
However, do the norms of God supersede...

David Didn’t Require a Savior

It seems that God loved David so much.
Yet he destroyed a lot with his very touch.

He killed Uriah to have his wife,
Which resulted in a lifetime of strife.
A baby he lost.

The groans of ancient years still echo in my bones. It is a pain 
That lodges in the weariness of Africa. Curled in her, the strain 
Of old world history. Out of her given darkness...

A TESTIMONY

I was lost in sin when Jesus found me;
He cleansed me within, His love surrounds me;
Now I am forgiven, each day’s a victory.

She never realized,
What she had inside,
Till she recognized she was a mother.

She loved her own
Plus a few on loan
That she nurtured in place of others.

Are those others to blame?
Should they be ashamed?
I think not wise...

I hear someone a-knockin’ at my door,
It’s you again, have we not had enough?
The problem is a complete lack of respect,
Well, your disfavor is shared no need to bluff.

I am much smarter aware of the...

Do stand against them with all might. Their favor or disfavor
Is not what you have ever sought. Those who hanged their own saver,
The Judases whose shame resides for ever on their foul brows,
Are born of...

The air drips over the lake
yet to be thundered awake. 
Mirages waver.
Bare feet on black asphalt quake
Keepers on sand tractors rake. 
That's summer's flavor.
Swimsuit wearers all partake
of young beauties and beef cake
as love is a...

A dozen or so things I'd teach my guys,
school children and grandchildren likewise.

When they are young kids, I would make it plain

Simple: no biting, no pulling hair,...

I hadn't noticed them when she was well—
The deep creases in Mother's face.
Now as she lay dying, they told a tale
Of selfless service nothing could erase.

In one crease I saw myself at age four
Crying out...

If men would but stand fast like a tree
Though fierce winds blow and rains fall
Bending and dipping but not breaking at all
You will stand in quiet majesty, tall and free

When conditions grow harsh with disfavor
Stand...

Black clouds grow ominously in the distance
The sun dances on the happy blue sky with smiles
Rain drowns plants that have fallen in disfavor
Colors of flowers are kissed by angels on the wing
Monsters devour them in...
