Love Poem: The Leadership Convention

The Leadership Convention

When potable water nearly disappeared,
good faith communities
for healthy living 
water,
Earth,
people,
plants,
soil,
air,

Fire-breathing resistance churches
and calmer rapture temples,
synagogues,
mosques,
green post-millennial sanctuaries,
Gaian ecofeminist fire-circles
gathered their members and neighboring allies,
republican nationalists,
green democrats,
ecosystemic libertarian zeroists,

To discuss and discern
which potential Presidential
and Vice-Presidential candidates to nominate
for next year's Master Facilitator
and EcoFeminist WiseElder duo
for local through global eco-governing communications;
first listening
then summarizing co-passionate WinWin thoughts
with EarthSoul magnanimous feelings,

Each of these partisan constituencies, discerning together,
could synergetically support,
install in office,
invest our healthiest wealth in ongoing resilient empowerment
for Earth
and all EarthTribal living organic species,

As predicted by our nominees' past words
actions
cooperative non-violent co-investments
in healthiest wealth
for cooperatively empowering outcomes,
for economically resilient long-term through short-term healthy wealth,
for WinWin wealthy health outcomes,
for universally democratic energy
within unitarian regenerative bilateral timeless boundaries
of ReCreation Time for healing
wounded living waters.

Up and down both sides of our River Jordan,
their Yangste River,
our Thames
their Nile
our Amazon
Salmon Rivers,
sacred fire-circles burned
reflecting FullMoon promise,
as each party caucus
within each gospel health-seeking community
compiled wish lists
and bucket lists
for nominees who healthiest exemplify,
wealthiest speak up for,
and walk with LeftBrain knowledge
and RightBrain wisdom,

Holonic strength and holy flow powers,
building resilient health systems
and bilateral WinWin gaming experience,


Merging deductive memories with wealthy inductive images,
WinWin political thoughts
without WinLose ambiguously dissonant economic feelings,

High priority candidates 
have love-marketing experience and healthy passion-speaking training.

We asked each other,
When did potential nominees experience global cooperative listening
before teaching and preaching WinWin ego/eco-solidarity facilitation?

Explicitly knowing dipolar health
conjoining implicitly-felt wealth,
Yang-visioned with Yin-listened
non-violent communicators

Healthy mentor ministering EarthSoul musings,
preferably Left and RightBrain amusing.

We searched names with cooperative green non-violent communication histories.
Voices flew back and forth,
on and off line,
up and down our dying river,
still trickling faithfully away
in Her mossy green bed,
not quite dead,
hoping for a consensual co-facilitator
for a democratically thirsty
and decreasingly healthy, Valley

Still supporting green gospel-communicating diversity
courageously and curiously
exploring leadership healthy-wealth
co-investing in WinWin multiculturing integrity.
