More Hopeful Inscriptions

"I believe through any trial
there is always a way"

Such profound belief
in powers of love
is hard for my hands
to honestly sing
and not shyly wave away

With integrity of my final
truthful say

But, still
I do silently believe
as polyvagal Health Theorists 
systematically play

Through any win/lose
or lose/lose trauma trial
we always do our best
in a more resonant
win/win therapeutic 
co-arising way

To both sing and standing dance
our most resiliently harmonic day

To withstand a more resistant
wounded child's lack of nurtured
healthy nature spirited way 
to robustly pray

In this
our cooperative
co-invested circle
of soulful gospel
sacred spacetime stay

I believe through alarming 
Othering trauma
of disabling marginalization,
criminalization,
commodification,
AnthroSupremacist colonization

Nonviolent multicultural compassion
is always our healthiest
act of win/win co-invested action
loving our wealthiest resonation

Drumming indigenously wise 
thrumming interdependent nations
restoring our humming 
resilient 
EarthJustice folkway.
