I wonder...
If RightWing Activists
are, thereby,
actively against
Allies of a healthy
cooperative
co-invested
compassionate democracy.
If RightMind disempowered pessimists
lack Win/Win enlightened grace
to feel unconditional warm economies
of politically organic love
in sacred time and space.
If RightHand monotheistic powers
could ever learn
from divine experience
to become more bicamerally
GreenLiberal/RedConservational
co-ecstatic
If Left/Right circling spectral lights
of win/win thriving Egos
worshipping our sacred shared
sexual EcoSystems
become, thereby,
compassionate peace-thriving
intrapersonal repairs
supporting resilient interpersonal partnerships,
resonant teams,
and 7-regeneration sustainable,
multisensory health and safety
communions
unions,
transcendently co-empathic
As when GreenNoise Wonder
grows in nonverbal compassion,
integrity of sacred
Red Holesome
inviting robust Awe.
Candles have been lit in a room of seventy-two
my yoga mat is weaved from recycled flexi-jute
I am a wisp of silence in this doctrine old and new
seated in my soul, I am rendered mute
TAKE ME TO NIRVANA * TAKE ME TO NIRVANA
Diving into waterfalls of paradise, I'm cold
beneath a sky of midnight hue transcendently I'm yours
serenity, tranquility as every breath unfolds
I'm a temple made for you in this Elysian field of gold
TAKE ME TO NIRVANA * TAKE ME TO NIRVANA
In this peaceful state of freedom without roam
I sit chilled, frosted, frozen, I am Flame
One bougie of rushlight and suddenly I'm home
a Paschal candle without a name
TAKE ME TO NIRVANA * TAKE ME TO NIRVANA
TAKE ME TO NIRVANA.

Oh mighty one, for I am the small and meek.
Your presence is an important factor in my decision.
For what reason do you test my inner self being?
Tis a test that will take a lifetime to complete...
And comprehend.
Maybe Karma is inhaling abundant pieces of my spirit.
Oh mighty one, I wish to learn why am I being punished?
Have I wronged to the extent of this imprisonment?
Please give me the strength to not only understand...
But conquer.
My future may be dismal yet transcendently obscure.
Have I the knowledge to control the difference?
I feel shameful yet sublime in my time of need.
Oh mighty one, such torture and suffering I not only see...
But experience.
Can you reward me the knowledge of your existence?
We are taught it is faith that enhances our knowledge.
Oh mighty one, can such faith have the power to hinder
Outside influences that have tainted my beliefs...
With demons?
With heavy heart my unforeseen total commitment
Has yet to make an appearance in my turmoil.
Oh mighty one, am I disillusioned by the mighty one?
Time will grant me the peace to my significant ponderings...
And faith.
Candles Caper
A burning candle delivers euphoric feelings.
Giving harmonious influences jovially.
Kindling loves, merry nuisances, opulently.
Plays, quietly romancing songs transcendently.
Capturing lovers in her flickering flame.
