Long Gratitudes Poems

Mentors with the BeeTrees

From NorthWinds
come darkening winter
as newborn discontent
waiting to spring forth.

From SouthWinds
come summer's diastasis
climax of full-born wisdom,
contentment for and from all four directions
spread across sleeping hearts
of each nighttime regeneration.

From normalizing WestWind toward East colonializing
patriarchal...

I was tying up her second shoe
when the second coming came.

The first had been the night before
when the bus demons dropped her off
to say they might be back
but weren't exactly sure when,
while I tied up...

Resilience planning
is to Disaster Management
for a crippled community,
As Permacultural  planning
is to Anger Management
for growing Ego Resilience.

When WinLose cards are dealt
by climates of dominating and emerging pathology,
Disaster and Anger Management present necessary
short-term skills,

But, insufficient when...

Beauty includes dignity,
respect easily visible
to our nutritional sensors,
including when Beauty grows dark edges.

We each, 
individually,
and as a species of life form,
have our unique and our speciated EarthBeauty functions,
perhaps what also translates as Sacred Grace
for some,

Divine energy,
dynamism ourselves
in right relationship
with diverse
and timeless sacred revolutionary environments,
folding and unfolding
passages through memories
of sacred bright
positive light
regenerating,
reconnecting

Divine light teaches
PositivEnergy restoring Love,
EarthJustice as Local through Global Peace

And NegativEnergy darkens punishing emotions
of anger
hate
bigotry
racism
sexism

Professional spiritual developers
are sometimes called clergy
and not farmers
or fishermen
or organic gardeners.

Professional nature-spirit Rescuers
of Earth's outdoor-indoor
healthy secular with wealthy sacred
discovery
are sometimes called body-mind co-facilitators.

Occasionally ZeroZen Zone

Monasteries,
both Western and Eastern,
traditionally practice:

The Way of Poverty,
A trusting Truth of Chastity,
And a Life of Obedience

To both spiritual and natural authority,
laws,
rules,
practices
both political and ecological
within their diverse sectarian cultures.

Yet this tripartite theme
of natural/spiritual discipleship
follows a nutritionally...

Spiritual practices,
like instinctively natural habits
and customs
and rituals,
teach powers of WinWin healthy intention
and darker powers of WinLose toxic pretensions
of egocentric Selves
and anthrocentric Societies

Anthrogentric Enculturations,
emergent evolutions
of an individual life
among a species' regenerational/degenerational lives.

Earth-centered

I receive righteous reassurance
I'm able to face every pen stroke
as I've currently begun to resurface
with revelations reflecting
the Creators reflection
reflectively reciting information 
about my resurrection
reflected in wisdoms water
which allows me to reflect
the truth written by chalkfirewhispers

and...

unsheathing my weapon of choice
so the Creators words of truth once again have a voice
I lovingly landscape your will
smiling in silence as I graciously till

seeds through the darkness starting to stop doubting

Honey,
sometimes I feel my grateful care-giving
for our mutual care-receiving
grows increasingly under-valued by you
and so,
perhaps for that reason,
also under-valued by me.

Are you suggesting,
my generous lover,
that positive gratitude,
like negative attitude,
is contagious?

Yes, that.
But also I worry
you believe your...

I'm ready to step into my role
to discuss
and observe
to teach
and to learn

to be part of a group
capable of piecing together
PEACE

to lead by example
breaking down the absurd walls
laws have built

we all are unique sentient beings
mirroring one...

To my friends, who totally forgot my birthday accidentally…

But obviously I know that I want to tell you this right now

Waste not her love in all it's tender exhibits
Nor take for granted the look in her eyes
Lest her softness be calloused fictitious 
Or her trust in your heart be despised

The petrichor of fallen leaves
and coldness of the sun that grieves.
The lovers’ laughter in the wind.
Their purity shows they haven’t sinned.

Gone amiss is the tight white moon
whose withheld breath owned a night

From the quite memories of my mind; through the distance of time;
The past has touched me.

Fascism has grown cancerous maturity
to pathologically enforce
what mere nationalistic military-industrialized supremacy
would patriotically endorse.

Supremacists of race or gender
or metaphysical systems of personal as political investment,
mistake allegiance to icons and idols and pledges
of national privilege
for personal passion...

The holding, the hiding one's self inside oneself. No one to see the scars behind the smile. Words of platitudes and gratitudes. 
Keep it all hidden, the silently cracking heart. Let all believe it was...

Unseen, unheard, unmentioned,
man of the street,
a lone cry,
'Big Issue' but no-one stops to buy.
Cardboard cities come alive each night
while riches sit back watching HD TV.

Invisble families saying grace,
giving gratitudes over grey crusts of yesterday's bread,
