Love Poem: Organic Gratitude

Organic Gratitude

Monotheists are wrong to aspire toward evangelical control
of fear and anger actions and reactions
in absence of HolySpirit's loving mindfulness
of peace and passion and pleasure,
preforming our transformational intent
as discerned through daily practices 
stretching unconditionally warm compassion.

We devolve toward runaway monotheistic unease  
to become so satiated by our monopolistic effectiveness
we swim in delusion that we will avoid feeling monochromatic pain
by ignoring monocultural loneliness
monolithic EarthTribal common sense
of loss and suffering.

As we grow in capacity to re-connect HolyEarth Spirit/Nature
panentheistic 
nondualistic
nonviolent
nonverbally felt resonance

inside neurological
and outside ecological

DoubleBinary belonging gratitude 
with messianic long-suffering 
empathically re-membered
ecstatically re-connected
re-synergized
re-ligioned
re-integrated

Sacred anthro-mind/body
will re-emerge a bodhisattva 
WholeEarth Spirit/Nature species 
embarrassed to have entertained deaf monotheistic delusions 
of anthro-privileged ecocidal ruminations
unnaturally
and irreligiously self-isolating
obsessive fear
and compulsively anxious anger.

Longing, like belonging,
could become radically egalitarian,
reflecting no more or less than our irreligious separateness

and it is this universal separateness of ego identities
that entices us toward gratitude for unitarian hope
that sacredly organic EarthTribe has resiliently noticed 
and resonantly cared for me 
as panentheistic
Holy Spirit/Nature extended family

Solidarity of co-empathic longing remembered
back to twined nurturing naturing roots 
feeding polypathic inside/outside consciousness
of Eastern polytheistic 
RightHemisphere empowerment
and Western monotheistic 
LeftHemisphere enlightenment.

Last remnants of a tattering Industry Evolution,
this Last PreMillennial UnWoke ReGeneration
passes a too toxic anthrosupremacist baton 
as if sacred EarthMother
could not inspire gift-gratitude-forward.

Nakedly embarrassed with fumbling ineptitude,
precisely where and when we so fake-earnestly prayed
for powerful redemption from evil.

Yet perhaps we also flirt with messianic delusion 
that we did not do our best
with allowing our cooperatively co-invested bodhisattva 
to lead.

This is our call to vocation,
to holiness,
to grateful suffering with Earth's recycling passions,
to regenerate Earth's emptying cart of nurturing produce,
to watch and listen,
to sing and march and dance,
to understand and incarnate
how and why and when we are most grateful to Become this Earth,
simulcast anthem echoing through each cell and cellphone,
across every heart and lap and laptop,
every radio and monitor
in every prison,
every asylum,
every shelter,
every school and capital and mind,
every tear in every eye a suffering tear of gratitude
for belonging to each naked Other,
investing in each Other's actively curious respect
by caring for ourselves as each healthy and safe Other,
as one neurosystemically indigenous EarthTribe.

We can do this;
as we become this wilderness world
inter-ligioned together
double-bound by relentlessly effective 
longing AnthroMind
belonging EarthBody
co-binary 
co-empathic
co-redemptive bodhisattva gratitude.
