Love Poem: Aging In and Out

Aging In and Out

As I age 
I hope to become increasingly difficult 

to extract from flow of Presence
apprehending EarthMother focus 
through holistic reflections
within Now

Without targeting Others 
over There
lacking CoPresence.

I hope ego-awareness shrinks 
within aging 
cranial carrying 
mindbodies

To swell without 
toward ecstatic soul
comprehensive understanding,
co-infested stand-and-grabbing

To more easily let go 
of my now eldering past events
yellowing oranged brown falling away leaves 
of absent grace

To grab ahold
of bold winter's regenerations
of green-full hope,.

Prehensive linking
syncing resonant peace 
engaging Earth JustUs
rooted ancient systems

Free-flowing through boundaried paradigms
dividing seasons 
into tipping pointed reasons 
for circling
deepening peak
yet widening spectral valleys
echoing Other's resounding exclamations

Fading
failing bipolarized dissonance
becoming dipolar co-arising
resonance

Confident this curious TaoWay 
through resiliently polycultured Midway
seasons and surfs
at last expounding
plantings and pullings
rebirthing our final say

Fusing octaves of sight and sound
fizzing fractal note conduction
musing slow-grown co-redeemers 

Risking final opportunity
to refill treasured seeds
sown and reaped 

Cherished bodymind's rich pot
ential,
outial
post-axial cross

Over space
and under time's harvest 
reimagining memory's branching place 
for rooted earnest fortune

Racing thoughts
increasingly aged difficult 

To extract from co-presents
of EarthJustUs time 
sufficient for grace 
repurposed peaceful space.
