Does sacred Mother Eartha
too often want to stop the world
to process Her nuanced feelings?
Does our desecrating Dad
too seldom demand we stop
to consider grace
and win/win gratitude
for creative dance
as it has systematically developed
to this current post-millennial date
to partisan fancy prance?
Revisiting loyalty to Earth's global systems
of nutritional economics
and cooperative psychological
bicameral enlightenment
of healthy democracy
bipartisan empowerment
Solidarity with RightBrain integrity
restoring EarthJustice
nonviolent ecofeminist
co-invested communication
Deep listening
to identify EarthPatriotic feelings
of safety,
provision,
protection
And more matriotic co-passionate needs
and wants,
felt voices
and thought choices
for healing erections
from PatriarchalCapitalism
chronic LeftBrain overstressed disorder
Haunted by mounting night mares
vexed against feckless EarthMothers
stalled to win/lose process eternal competitions
in autonomous lack
of polycultural communon
Win health
to win safe colorful wealth
nondualistic
thoughts bidialectic
with warm interdependent
feelings
trustfully realistic.

In this verse you will find my love story, where the ocean feels like home. We met when the horror movie, “The Fog,” was at the theater. I have also used imagery from “Peter Pan.”
FIND ME THEN
Find me then, where history repeats —
your sure smile trustfully pulls me in!
I boldly sit amidst bullrushes —
the pounding of a crocodile heart!
Find me then, where passion rolls me o’er,
great adventure framed, by wild waters.
The shallow tick of time scares me so!
As the fog dissipates, find me then…

My sword was made of wood
Perhaps, I couldn't fight invincibly enough
But still resisted trustfully. My roots
And my beliefs were devilishly taught.
I could attack. I definitely could attack
Those metal flies that flew around my arms
Creating arcs,
Creating watery alarms.
My sword was wooden. Never good enough.
And still acceptable for such an outspoken rebel.
That time had passed. Instead it's rain above.
Instead, It's only me and an umbrella.

those who surrender to the divine
providence are blissful
it is the secret of your peace
and happiness
the confirming our will to god"s is
not limited to the attainment of our
eternal salvation
it also has effect of making us happy
on this very earth, verily
it will give us the most perfect peace
that is possible to experience
in this life , here
n is the means of making this
world the foretaste of heaven
in order for us to enjoy peace
n calm we need to have nothing
opposing
our will
n everything done in the
way we want
but, who can expect to have
such happiness
except the one whose will is
entirely confirmed to the will of god
without trust there is no hope
so be trustful
without surrender there is no joy
surrender then
trustful surrender
to the divine providence
is the way to bliss
n your only
responsibility
is to be happy

Christmas Night
Out in the cold, chained to a tree,
The old dog watched as the sad little girl approached.
Meeting, loving, the poor things cuddled close,
Sharing their animal heat on that cold Christmas night.
A passing stranger and his wife halted in their journey home,
Taken by the sight of the ugly old dog leaning trustfully,
As the small barefoot girl slowly, carefully freed it from its chain.
"You're my Christmas baby now," they heard her whisper.
The man said, "Surely the dog must be abandoned," and
The wife said, "That child has been thrown away, too."
Both asked in unison, "What can we do?" In unison they replied,
"Let's take them home and adopt them both."

Egotism
is far from altruism,
it's sustained by a glory so vain and fragile;
amassing wealth as the impulsive imbecile...
shunning a guilt so perceptible.
Their riches were to be shared by many:
to prosper, love and pray
trustfully.

Marsha D. Arnold from California
-------------------------------------------------------------
It’s unimportant how old you are,
because I see in you the girl,
who looks at the world trustfully
through alert eyes.
Until now, you have been able
to be surprised and admired,
to take offence and cry
in your beautiful, merry, or sad stories.
Yes, you are actually
an adult girl with a gentle soul,
You are a girl who has
Belief, hope and a lot of love
In your heart.
My dear! You should feel happy,
because you have a fortress,
where you can always hide
from troubles, excitements and bad problems.
That fortress is your family, your imagination,
and your wonderful stories.
And I give you now magic words,
« It all will be well in your life!»

for White Sands National Monument
I float through a vast ocean of white sand,
gliding slowly over the dancing dunes,
some rise gently against the purple mountain backdrop,
some tower steeply, ruling the barren waves,
I am called to soar above them...
Quiet,
the air is silent in the evening sun,
as clouds mimic the sparkling hills,
and the Earth holds her breath,
in awe at her own beauty...
I stretch my arms out to the sides,
and trustfully fall backwards,
embraced by the soft, warm dunes,
cradling my dreams with their lullabies,
I am an infant of the sand spirits...
Man can come and man can go,
and the surrounding mountains may crumble,
but the dunes will last forever,
as these are the sands of time...
