Planting As We Pray

Who is Creator to you?
Are you made in God/Goddess image
or is your Creator made through your best self-image?
Embedded,
incarnating,
co-incarnating,
co-incidental organic-harmonic phenomena
of your nondual inter-communicating mindbody.

What and where is Creator God for you?
Found only in Paradise,
heard and seen and smelled in renewing Promised Eden,
or what remains of healthy organic Earth's landscapes
and climates.

Did Paradise make humans
in divine Creator's collective creolizing image
of minerals and water and clay
of love as synergy
requiring radical co-empathic trust?
Or at least inviting profound ecopolitical cooperative ownership.

Where lies and grows,
evolves and revolves,
beauty and truth Paradise?
God's creation
our shared Earth home for wild nature,
inspiration of each and every polypathic soul
not overly commodified,
entirely domesticated except for conscripting hate,
subcontracting terrified killers
of aliens and criminals
who were themselves young victims
of absent Paradise.

God invites armies and navies,
naturing marines for healing soil,
planting embryonic Paradise trees
so Creator can, 
through reincarnate Creations, 
rebuild Paradise forests.

We pray to harvest peace
yet do not recall our Creator's invocation
to plant our healthiest wealth
of Paradise reforested,
a climate home of wonder 
altering God's co-present peace.
