Painful self actualization
quickly brights to light
paltry reasons (with or
without rhyme) a desolate sight
within blinkered mindseye hindsight
grotesque grimace shocks with affright
desolate landscape
precipitated when airtight
vacuum sealed sequestered,
muckraked, furloughed...
which past existence now doth bite
back with a vengeance more agonizing
than any imaginable plight
feeble effort thru poetry
to portray psychological bombsight
cathartic, emetic, pathetic... ejection
minus (all gore rhythm)
red tattered torn flesh ala bullfight,
vigil held under
deathly hallowed candlelight
lack of living will trumped right
against autopsy, eh
scant material worth any copyright
deceased did request mourners
to revel in daylight
of life (l'chaim) delight
within simple pleasures downright
unfettered, yet respectful
of self and others fight
for peace with strong lanced arms,
yet...shy away from fistfight
while standing firm
on righteous ground,
versus passively taking flight
modestly acknowledge accomplishments,
sans reflection initial birthed floodlight
ideally rejoice asper positive contribution
within webbed, wide world despite
shortcomings vis a vis height
insight, might,... dismissing as trite
customary, healthy, quality traits
sustaining virtuous yeast
leavening kindled hindsight
carried into darkness of afterlife
soul asylum void of oblivion
analogous to eternal midnight,
where surviving kin begat,
viz biological millwright,
which sunny daughters
became darling lasses overnight
I ask do not weep, nor mourn,
neither heap exaggerated flattery, quite
upon the head of
this beastly boyish sight,
whose dying wish
expansive though slight
points to stopping for persons white
red, brown, black...since one's birth
until...final seconds usher
mortal into twilight!

Why you taking all that energy and time
Being ungrateful pouty wasting all of your life
You hourly daily time disgusting unredeemable on making up lost time
Complaining sustaining in your sorrow in your brief lapses of unbelief
Miss spoken unspoken silently and loud you're disbelief
A wise man once said you may kill time but one day time's going to kill you
Revelations part sometimes hard but yet so true
Lord I ma stop mine confession find the right now confessing I'm praising I am in worship with you in my mind in my heart continually so second by second by minute by minute by hour by hour audibly and intangibly in my mind now that I praise you been made free, in Jesus Name always
Amen

By making that choice
It was never about making a mistake
By formulating that plan
It was never about undermining my culture
By observing that growth
It was never about who is better than the other
The decision was to be made
Explosiveness of a creation
Fearless it will become
Honourable it may progress
Powerful it will succeed
Confident it may proceed
A monster in the making yet a human being
Never anticipated that ingredient of humanity
By forfeiting that honour
It was never about my royalty
By preserving my resources
It was never about being dominant
By sustaining that dream
It was never about giving up
I made, I made that decision
"I believe in the sun
even when it is not shining"
I remember someone recently resaying
what has long lain unsaid
inside my paradoxical head,
When asked if I believe in God,
I don't know what to say.
I might not believe in your God,
at least on my worst
pain-darkened day.
And,
I seem to believe in my own
only in those rare rain-free moments
healthy ego- and eco-gratifying
When I am having a climax heart
and head
song
and dance remembering
re-ligioning
reconnecting EarthMoment
Shared with at least one Other,
perhaps for our first through last time
in this
our day of sacred synergy
Sustaining
surrounding
celebrating a yellow morning
mellow sunrise
promising this wealthy day
without soggy rain
pain
As we prepare to health harvest
warmly fragrant sun-dried hay
I quietly say
So, there is a God,
after all.
"And I believe in love
even when there's no one there.
And I believe in God
even when he is silent."
These two additional beliefs
feel like one Relief Belief
to my bicameral head choice
and heart voice.
For it has often been said
and felt
that God is love
Especially when
Matriotic HolySpirit of Love
doesn't act like a Patriarchal Fool
And, by that,
I reference my own sociopathology
of privileged entitlement
monoculturally over-invested
in capitalist Straight
White
Earth Predations
Colonizations
Extractions
Rapaciousness
But,
my most courageous inscriptions
of whispering hope
often not felt enough
sacredly chosen silence
resting in spaces arresting
between my LeftBrain dominant
distracting notes
Where my own AnthroSupremacism
falls vibrantly listening
to responsively hear
Elder MotherTrees
sigh
and breeze
Silently praying
for strong rooted
cooperative integrity
Within this organic Green Communion
forest of hands on
generating regenerous Hope.
Light, defined as electromagnet and;
The radiation of photon particles
Natural visible light with intensity and frequency
The Light wavelength (spectrum / polarization propagation)
Fire / light, is a fiery chemical warming substance
Bioluminescence lights are of sea-creatures glowing
Fireflies are flickering their internal lights at night
Sunlight fuels all green plants with photosynthesis empowering
People pleasure and preen at the beach with sunny sun tanning
Sunlight illuminates Mountain trails for bicycling and trekking
Sunsets have lavender with orange bright beams extending
Solar sunrays light a day of picnic park fun with joyful frolicking
Some of the light spectrum is radio, white light, ultraviolet and x-rays
Infrared is only heat visible and gamma-rays are the most powerful
Small lasers are used in disk drives, printers, and fiber-optics
Fiber-optic networks are a light fast digital information system
TV plasma, liquid crystal displays, LEDs light-emitting diodes gives visuals
These assist our everyday visual optic neural perceptions
Cars have headlights and ships use fog-lights
Light-towers have flood-lights and we use handy flashlights
Tesla and Edison partook in the light bulb’s bright invention
Lewis Latimer and Joseph Nichol invented its carbon filament
This did dispel much of the world’s nighttime darkness
Lightning lights, to reveal charges of negative and positive
Colors of violet, blue, green, yellow, orange, red: are hidden in white light
Some colors are viewed when seeing a rainbow over a dewy meadow
What can be possibly seen at the other end of a rainbow?
This, the notes of God’s faithful abatement covenant
Starlight is continually being reflected and refracted
Earth and the Heavens at night are lit, by starry star lights
Great stars are round and renowned and fiery fireballs
They in a balance of great equilibrium
Stars dispersing their photon particles at light speed
"Light speed, “299,792,458 meters per second"
Light, is a part of the equation “E=MC squared”
“Energy,” not made, nor annihilated, yet always in flux
"Natures life sustaining and revealing lights"
"The Light Particle / Waves"
Yes, once created by the Creator
Animals, like you and me, are totally dependent on plants. For the oxygen in the air we breathe is plant exhaust. Virtually all the oxygen on earth, now and in the past was expired by plants, via their magical process - photosynthesis. Plants use the energy of sunlight to split water molecules, consuming carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to make sugars. The oxygen from H2O is expelled as an exhaust. We animals depend on plants to maintain oxygen in the atmosphere so we can breathe. We also depend on the sugar molecules that plants make using sunlight as energy. Plants totally changed the atmosphere on earth. Before plants, there was only about 10% oxygen in the atmosphere compared with 21% now. Carbon dioxide made up 5% of the atmosphere, compared with 0.05% now. Plants totally changed the atmosphere from toxic to animals to friendly and sustaining. So give a plant a good hug or two today, for plants sustain us, and the air on our planet.
Thanks little green plants
for your photosysnthesis,
Oxygen we need
Aghast at explosive industrialization/
urbanization once sacred wild woodland
whittled away overlain bumper crops
comprising trappings green lighted
supposedly signaling progress unwittingly
overrides avast enclave (teeming with
diverse flora and fauna passively cleared,
dominated, expropriated by dictate of
commercialization, exploitation, fabrication
fueling amalgamation, fabrication, lubrication

guaranteeing production trumpeted at

cooptation, extermination, gratification

upon unsullied "new world" defining

Earth tendered, predicated, linkedin with
generations worth of sacredness, which
spiritual reverence meant naught to
unwelcome trespassers solely hell bent
to force acquiescence, compliance,
obeisance,... to warlords, whose cruel,
diabolical gall lee jeepers libidinal
incursions sought extinction toward
defenceless native inhabitants subject
to machinations spelling extermination,
yet their restless spirits infiltrate occupants
of once happy hunting grounds devoid
without a trace, when this bucolic tract
devoid of present schlocky vinyl zoned

We're Jen and Jim--the Rainbow Couple. That's what
friends, especially younger folks, call us. To them we
symbolize cheer and hope for a bright future. Our
closest friends all idolize us.
Today we're at a picnic with friends, old and new.
Spirits are high as we all enjoy a huge feast.
Now it's story time. By popular vote, we're first.
They ALL want hear our love story: high-school
sweethearts, the break up, inability to stay away
from each other, marriage at age 21, two kids,
ups and downs (mostly ups; downs were handled
smoothly), two grandkids, empty nest, sustaining
love for 28 years, . . . Others' stories shine too--
but not like ours!
Now for the fireworks! But the Rainbow Couple's
smiles are brighter than the fireworks. We smile
until our faces hurt.
On the way home, our true colors slink to the forefront,
obliterating the bright hues we show the world. Neither
of us speaks. At home we'll go to our separate rooms.
We deserve an Oscar--or at least a spot on a tooth-
paste commercial.

My heart rejoices as a beneficiary of God’s forgiveness*-grace
Marvelous in granting me pardon from sins and hell’s punishment
Wonderful in strengthening my holiness’ fortitude in the Christian race
Enabling my dedicated commitment along ministerial engagement.
My soul delights in the Saviour’s forgiveness-fervor
Awesome in sustaining in my communion plight
Faithful in guiding me toward stewardship of sweet savor
Exhorting my diligence in my righteous walk by His light.
*Acts 5:31 Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, … to give repentance… and forgiveness of sins.
