The Nature Preserve

I don't know many people so urbanized
they would not prefer a nature preserve
and star light
for neighbors, day and night,
over a new developed suburbanization.

Not too many people smile
when they drive by a familiar farm
with woodlands,
now scraped and scaped,
graveled and turfed,
cut down and razed with concrete foundations,
ready for more humans
not preserving natural relations
with more diverse species.

Nature preserves
promote both natural and spiritual reserves.

External nature preservation
emotionally walks
senses
feels and smells and touches
internal spiritual reserves,
sanctuary,
sacred habitat.

Most of us still cherish
natural multicultural places
as also spiritual polyphonic spaces
to visit,
know as cherished neighbors.

Few of us still live and love
as residents among sacramental traces
of past Paradise.

Even if right-brain's emotional integrity of Earth sensed
as an interdependent matriarchal reservation
for restoring justice
through multicultural preservation
of inclusively democratic peace
has atrophied
to prefer the smell of asphalt
and chemically treated turf,

Together,
we can still remember
sacred ecological relationships,
glowing star lit nights,
cherished campfire habitats
following only DNA's inspired multicultural health
as spirited happiness
regenerating prosperity instructions.

Natural wisdom
that what is good,
even for autonomous ego-development,
is also healthy
for sacred Nature's preservation,
including Humane Places,
natural
sacramental voices,
emotionally and cognitively intelligent
Reservations

about what is healthy progress
and what is impoverishing regress
aggressive transgress.

Often,
in left-brain dominant prose,
We invest capitalized empowerment intention
in unnatural domesticated places,
re-nouns and pro-nouns more Proper,
speaking of independent ego-autonomy's
drive-by missions,

And,
we fail to naturally reserve more capitalization
for what feeds our Spiritual Integrity Preservation.
