Rev. Gerald Dillenbeck Poet Political Verse

Listening For Firestorms

Always respect this combination of fire and wind,
Gaia tentatively whispers,
after having listened for unhealthy and yet wealthy
winding winds

Regenerating and degenerating,
investing in and divesting of,
yeasty flames of fertile 
dopamine/serotonin balance.

Shaman, like you,
of future and from past castes
in which we have been raised,
co-dependent on therapeutically fueled,
fed,
nurtured communication
available up to this 1-sum space
(0)-soul time
Here/Now Win/Win.

We often find fire and wind co-dependence
fully flagrant purposed
to consume ever new nurturing communions

Moving away and toward 
and ultimately through everyone 
within shared physical and metaphysical landscapes

To gust and flame beyond languaged comprehension
exhaled by cool and heated winds,
inhaled feelings of trusted and mistrusted smoke,
and distrust of threatened hell
burning passion fires
and airy pleasure's light
right flickering flames.

We,
emerging from both formed soil 
and full-flowing rivers 
fed by nurturing tributaries 
of purest Gaian waters

Surfing seas
incubating FireGod's radiant heat,
YangForm ebbing to integrate YinFlow back
and forth Right inhale, again Left exhale,
Up and Down recasting Grandmother Moon's universal Fullness 
and Newly pregnant 
promising
unitarian Emptiness.

Indigenous wisdom 
remains confident about Gaia's ecotherapy
but today may too seldom actively listen
for Others' gusty YangFire
and well-watered lusty YinWind
trusty Win/Win
blowing Here
flowing Now
Ecological Nutrition/Starvation Stories.

Instead, 
having only watched for Win v Lose 
firestorm evolving patriarchal stories

Distantly recircling back
second-hand acclimated smoke
portending advanced oil-engorged HotFlames Are Best 
commercially upwind media

Anthropocentric listening 
to LeftBrain's fired up posturing
to speak away Earth's frightening windswept fires 
beneath peace-fulfilling moons.

Organic soil seeks sacred water 
nutrition nurturing ecosystems

Nonsensory firestorm gains 
emerging Win/Win cobinary 
absence of dispassion's pain
our mutual communing way

SpringFlow rivers of serotonin
addicted to Win/Win Left/Right
YangFire/YinWind
reweaving regenerative reiterative 
positive
inductive 
seductive oceans of communal emotion

And potential Win v Lose firestorm dis-communication
restraining cognitive winding thoughts
flaring against intuitively aired feelings

Recomposing Gaia's Win/Win 
Here fired Now winding
God's anxious dopamine communication
remains Gaia's well watered serotonin communion,
Fire's wellness-warmed 
Passion/Pleasure Story.

Serotonin positive polyvagal reunion
for external/internal 
eco/ego-therapeutic firestorms 
cobinary forming/flowing 
indigenously climatic 
resiliently brilliant communion

Win-Fire v Lose-Air competing strategies
draw dopamine downdrafts 
of EliteHot v NonEliteCold predative desires 
for more Win/Win balanced dopamine healing thoughts 
and warm-nurtured serotonin safety feelings
through cooperative depolarizing
appositionally-resonant 
EgoFire/EcoWind re-association

Rather than competitive bipolar
oppositionally-dissonant 
dopamine anxiety anticipation.

Across all our natural-fire/spiritual-air neurosensors,
all resonant crown/root chakra
polyvagal peaceful serotonin states

Forming health flowing wealthy good
that is our nature optimizing, yet still spirit maturing 
and cobinary expanding,
redefinition of Win/Win Anthro/Earth Commons

Anthropocene resilient 
permacultural health/wealth climax 
anticipating

Common animistic respect 
for this integrity of deductive Fire 
and inductive Wind,
still indigenously held together
healthier than failing apart

Disrespecting our combination
of godly Fire and gaian Wind.
