Green-Gold Lands Sublime: A Poem
In these green-gold lands sublime,
I can’t help but be filled with rhyme.
Everywhere I look: dance and song!
When I'm away from Nature too long,
I think my anxieties
are actually realities
and I take my life to be all,
though I am only very small.
Do you hear Nature,
our parent-teacher?
From the ground and the sky, do you hear her speak?
“All beings must struggle to live. No place for the weak.
To remain comfortable is to decay,
and eventually for that with your life you'll pay.
Therefore, always strive to be higher and higher!
To see all beings evolve is my driving desire.
All life, even if armed with tooth and claw,
must obey this one omnipresent law:
The world can’t satisfy the all the greeds of our life.
Take just what you need so resources will be rife.
Oh my child! Hear the subtle symphony
Of the bird, the wind, the stream, and the tree.
Feel the peaceful perfection of the clouds above,
All of these reveal ineffable divine love.
Let this pure sweetness caress your inmost soul,
until you can’t resist being part of the whole,
until you can’t stand being dissonant
in this world harmonious and infinite”
Thus the Gods and Goddesses spoke to me,
in their language of symbols and synchronicity.
Divinity speaks through all phenomena,
when you see this life as just a drama,
when you make your deepest mind receptive,
by freeing it from the social collective,
and making it a joyful habit to meditate.
When the Gods' character you imitate,
and when their esoteric words you heed,
nothing in this world you’ll ever need,
for we just play our parts in the divine play,
this we’ll see fully on our dying day.
I realized when I went to the wood:
that the universe is innately good.
Thanks for reading. I’ve been writing lots of Nature poems lately since the lovely spring weather has me going outdoors more. I will be returning to essays on metaphysical and racialist topics next week.
