Ego forms into a spoke
person's vocation
As eco-political wisdom
flowers in a wheel.

Ego
is to left brain dominance
as eco-habitat
is to interdependent
elder
right hemisphere prominence.

Ego
is to internal wealth
as cooperative Eco-nomics
is to external polynomial health.

Ego
healthy roots
from resonant compassion,
co-enlightenment;
EcoSystems 
wealthy flower
in resilient communion,
co-empowerment.

Ego
is to power of day
as Eco
is to moonlight's 
fluid night.

Ego
is to patriarchal Yang
as Eco
is to womanist Yin.

Ego 
is to competitive,
yet integral, Truths
as Eco
is to cooperative Beauty.

Ego 
is to dance
as Eco
is to music.

Premium Member Silent Skirmishes

Words as offensive weapons
dwell on ugliness of bad-humored life.

Words as effective tools
dwell on beauty and truth
of good-humored health,
empowerment,
love.

Yet, swords become plowshares.
Plowshares are repurposed as unwieldy swords.
Regenerative intent becomes degenerative chaos.
Degenerative discontent becomes regenerate
tipping points
within silent complexity.

Can words become weapons
for active peace?
And still tools
quietly feeling unresolved 
in silent external/internal wars?

Between curious ancient communioned minds
and courageous ego-independent bodies,

Between original health-tooled womb
memories
And today's wealth-weaponed tidal means,
unsustained strength
yet resiliently flowing ways,
transparent patriarchal dissonance 
revoicing maternal confluence,
empowering vulnerability;
revolutionary stillness
actively listening
between quiet health-wombed rememories.

Wisely employed wellness tools
for feminist well-being weapons;
cooperatively-managed words
for hearing beatific Truths,
re-seeing Ways,
rekindling communicating Lives;

Revolutionary politics,
awesome economics,
wondrous revitalization,
compassionate communion.
