Love Poem: Retelling Sacred Stories

Retelling Sacred Stories

Telling
and retelling
our story,

Where we are from
and where we have gone
from there and here
and now 
surprisingly uninfluenced by choice
and education,
nature nurturing where
and when,
why
and how, our story begins

When my voice speaks with SkyMother
and FatherSun, by mutual choice 
personalities
only visible in prehistoric time,
then prophecies predict our eventual return,
by co-arising awareness
in EarthBound enlightening Paradise.

When my story
begins with CreatorGod
in regenesis producing Heaven,
then Rapture is promise
to leave Earth
and return to SunGod
from which Earth originally came.

Whether God's Kingdom
is at immediate immanent RightSacred hand,
Earth's HolySpirit self-regenerating Love history,

Or more enlightened from transcendent Heavens above,
looking down with positive/negative/double-negative balancing
pre-judgment
on too cheaply commodified pervasive secularization
justifying missionary-zeal colonization
of hopeless/faith-filled,
helpless/assertive,
sin-filled/sun-drenched pagans,
nature/nurture worshipers,
EarthLovers,
depends on where and when we choose
to believe our own history significantly begins,
ends,
re-begins...

Whether in pre-historic myth
or pre-time interdependent democratic energy

Potential atomic health forces
and wave-linear nutritional flowstreams,
dreams my birthmother's womb
prophesied predicting return
to EarthLove nurturing back
natured back
spirited back
to when today's left-brain Business As Usual
Win/Lose
Either/Or thinking
co-arises rightbrain's Win/Win
Both/And feeling
that where health is robustly appealing
therein lies a wealthy tipping point of origin

And
where wealth is leftbrain severed
from rightbrain healthy feeling,
nutritional,
communal,
compassionate integrity
of original ParadiseWomb experience
immanent ego developing 
EarthMother transcendent
promises prophetic polypaths toward resilient health,

Therein lies ego/eco-therapy's
vast immanent/transcendent potential
co-arising integrally originating wealth.

Interdependent awareness,
like environmental health,
values integrity
above fragmenting wealth,
metaphoric cooperation
above analogical competition,
most politically
economical,

Theologically
ecological.
