Premium Member Poetic Prehension

Poets prehend self-governing structures
in natural ways that seem more enlightened
than pedants of partisan evolution.

Prophets predict self-help co-redemption
in ways that really could seem more enlightened
than preachers of competitive economics.

Time's wisdom con-sciences co-arising information
within polypaths comprehending light's full-tempered power
to mutually mentor multicultures of healing evolution, 
conscientific body/mind-full consciousness,
cosmological 
ecological 
biological 
geological 
wealthy logical universal health care paradigm,
dispelling fractal-faceted semantic structures
of space/time's deep RNA-rememory language,

Folding concave holes 
to unfold convex polarities again
through great turning revolutions

In which peace poets 
and passionate preachers
and probing prophets
prehend Earth-governing structures
in naturally spirited ways 
more enlightened
than polarizing pedants
of disempowering devolution.

Ghostly Figures Roundel

the ghostly figures plea is to attend  
the mantel of life, to be and to see
if they are forgiven, needing a friend,
the ghostly figures plea.

heavy hearted, weary to be set free.
moonlight filters many shapes to amend, 
listening to Satan, not meant to be.

these figures once had a garden to tend, 
ignoring the warning ate of the tree,
now evicted, their souls can not prehend 
the ghostly figures plea.
