Renascence
Dilapidated bulges bore in vain,
Counterproductive methods confirmed risk,
Drawing boards experienced once again,
Twilight oils burn onward past midnight's brisk.
The regeneration of the dormant,
The sedentary rejuvenated,
Characters clash excellent performant,
Old guards revised and emancipated.
The abandoned surrender willingly,
Causation of being its impetus,
The change serves its purpose meaningfully,
Portal outbreaks fictions of stimulus.
Energies perform on high Pegasus,
Directives laid down eyes regenesis.

Death and life
are a degenerate/regenerate transformation
of negative/positive energy,
space flowing time's sustaining identity;
Therapeutic transubstantiation
for those with ecopolitical maturity,
to sensory

even sexual, power identify
with all generations before;
And, for those who have
communed
compassioned
communificated
with generous
grateful sufficiency,
transforming humane regenerators
yet to arrive
On spiraling
revolutionary Earth,
born of sacred EarthMother's
primal metamorphic eucharist,
attachment
creation
recreation,
healthing green
and wealthing blue
and ultra non-violet regenesis.

Birthing genesis back to We
Falling out as from freedom's favorite tree
Rebirthing Earth wombs warm content
Extending out where gospel time grows bent
Through Creation's prism for network Time
To originally fall from divine sublime
Into rising place of uncultured wandering
Back to exodus from which we came
Regenesis longing free fall belonging
Death lies squandering
Last of climate originating Falls
Tolerating winter
To rebirth genesis
Back to Spring
Summering in a sycamore tree
Rebirthing Earth watching warm co-investment
Passions growing out
Where green revival Time flows rebent
Repent warm womb falling
Into unspent wandering to rise.

Rise up paradise hope,
Rise up arms and legs
for cooperative faith.
Rise up health,
Rise up compassion

Rise up Creation,
Rise up habitats
for re-creation.
Rise up solidarity,
Rise up happy endings

Rise up EarthJustice,
Rise up climates of peace.

First and last, Mom's embryonic parasite,
phylogenic tumor
with built in obsolescence.
Then, a moment between exodus from symbiotic womb
into Earth's promised Eden,
forested trees for GoodLife and of prior EvilDeath,
and then time to exhale again
one last self-regenerating timeless
fertile eternity,
regenerous nativity.
In between, ecopoliticians
hoping to improve our cooperative family improvisations
on a larger liturgical jazz-dance theme,
with occasional speaking while deep-listening parts
in EarthTribe's multiculturing womb,
embryonic ego-tumors
with built-in obsolescence;
a moment between exodus
and cooperative regenesis.

All ye who enter here
despairing statues of salted liberty,
merging solidarity with Earth’s poor hunger
to range free falling Victorian bricks
and mal-bourne sticks
to land here with now
with all arrived before you
prepared to grace Earth’s healthy breathing space
and time of BrickWork connecting sacred place,
restructuring minds co-infesting recomposing bodies,
bay to mountain swinging resonant designs
recycling Earth’s health-bourne habitation,
celebration
with all entering good humored here
with bad tumored now
climates of each day’s great dissonant transition.
LifeWork EcoLogic draws history written by our stars.
BrickWorld Cathedrals incarnate Earth’s green musings
sung by sunlight’s empowering designers
of MultiCultural ReGenesis.
Seek within our lower reaches
to resolve with sensory roots
reforming crowns
searching hidden ex cathedra gold,
deep beneath not-so-rushing,
lead headed crushing stone.
Conjoin these bricks
of nature’s rich vocation light,
regenerous
religious enbrightenment
to guide our humbled exodus
until we enter here once more
to sing and dance
among Earth’s ReGenerate Cathedrals.

the selfish molecules known as genes."

The one who spots the line
before spotting the bait
is the ultimate winner in life.
Rumi (Maryam Mafi translation)
The ones who spot Earth Day's decomposing line
before spotting Easter morning's ReGenesis bait
are our mutual messiahs in full living.
Each dawn reincarnates Earth Day
as Easter morning's karmic revolution.
Eastern minds dream of humane fleeing flying,
too often frying, frogs
while Western brains cooperatively
comprehensively
swim through red sky warnings
regenerating Western horizons
fading full-moon Yin
to more simply rest in NOW
and dream of mutually mentoring messiahs'
Eastern dawn
of Polycultured Tao,
fractured Frog Princes croaking songs
for long-strung graceful Princess ovations
recreating East-West harmonies
for NorthWinter through SouthSummer
weathering Earth Day Opera.
Red sky Earth Days
regenerate
green horizon Easter Genesis.

EcoTherapy grows primal health and vigor identity,
we are only,
and always,
integrity's cooperative therapeutic potential
for peace.
All else creates fantasy,
disillusion,
dissociation,
empty warrior myths,
dissonance.
More resiliently resonant creation stories
unfold eco-cultural nutrients,
hidden within history's hard-bound
revolutionary
dipolar covers
engaging time's perennial regenesis
Recreating optimal EarthSoul identity
dimming anthro-ego's dominance
reincarnating global resonance
As silence invites ringing waves
of universally uniting rhythm

Where did life come from?
asked Winter, of gratitude.
Who and what and where do life-systems become and belong,
rehabilitate
and repurpose
and redeem?
asked Spring, of hope.
Where does live fly away from evil,
and where together,
synchronized swimmers in a coincident sea?
asked Summer, of faith.
How did Live/eviL Tao get here, again?
asks Fall, with incarnating grace,
winnowing harvest's rehabilitating outcomes,
regenerating,
equivalent redemption,
repurposing economic mindfulness.
Each life,
and all life,
all time and space,
our synergetic ReGenesis Project.
How are yours coming along.
on your Beloved

Lost, Found, and Claimed -- Reborn from the seas of entropy,
Its salt profound with the alteration of mass and energy,
Bringing forth a new creation through the regenesis of "Me."
Its voice had beckoned so I've prudently listened
As it spoke of salvation and escape from the sin-ridden --
A land of so-called life, the incontinent libertine Eden.
‘Twas today, I’ve laid to drown but only to discover
New gills fashioned me for a life under troubled waters,
And below were fins for me to flee and move on faster.
In my new body I glide through the vastness of space,
Like a bird in flight, leaving Land without trace…
I swim farther away and further more into grace.
My abode now the ephemeral of sharks and sunken ships
In these troubled waters I dance until death’s final kiss,
Happy to have lived a merman, than a man of earthly bliss.
