The Nature of Nature’s Nature—Our Nature!



Our tender loins of deepening thoughts foster further…
But, fragmentary mordancy demolishes, disparages…
Yet the glowing sun, brightly stars, nimbly see easy passages,
as blinding shade pools darkness of ghostly follower

All perpetual curves, interlinking, whorl angles to undo straight missive
in infinite portions, larger to smaller to greater, protoplasm to ether:
they’re galloping, charging, circular swirlers, certain positive empowerers;
and hurtling, arraigning, spherical eddiers—negative directives

Who is hallowed and worthy of veneration, consecration amasses…
While disconnection results from disrespectful narrative
that fairies soothe with calm clarification, which punitive
damaging distortion of vicious intensity rarely surpasses

Repetitive sweet scents of wafting summery perfumed bouquets…
Putative wisdom discusses next-door sundry pithily spicy morasses
while fresh, warm and agreeable occurrences, pleasing to any senses, abashes
obnoxious, stale, cold and sour incidents, which curse our senses into malaise

As the infinitesimal miniscule inner can amaze
so too does the international and universal outer
Upstream, beyond and outside, what’s greater’s the gladder touter
of downstream depths and inside, underneath and lower than we appraise

Where silence feeds waking feelings and emotions, alert is utter,
lest natural needs of spirit and temperament makeup our whole
Wheneven creative dynamism and inspiration boil pyrrole
they butt against barren and sanitary notions aflutter

Wherefrom issues the satisfyingly impressive to exquisite splendor or the soul?
Like this query only repulsively nasty to hideous squalor, wherefrom?
Awe-inspiring mountains, and utmost spiritually, a poof of oxygen become
are not then profoundly wrong, malevolent in destructive energy, no matter the capriole

Seeing energy that makes speech, action, thought and imagination an encomium
participants, in listening, observing, reading, and seeing, perceive the numinous
Some encounters as a typical, prototypical or original cumulus;
others, form a storage of inert, passive and static her/history compendiums

Would a gaggle of lighthearted, exultant mothers, in merriment voluminous
swap the heavyhearted dreariness of the dirge of oppressive solemnity
for the trickster of Earth who sustains the breathing witty ditty
past ceasing, reentering, rememories of reemergent nourishment in tumulus

About this poem

Sometimes when undertaking to write a poem that tries to do too much, such as this one whereby I am attempting to encapsulate me entire philosophy of life in one poem that’s not too lengthy either, the words used must convey more than “green” or even “verdancy.” These poems then pack too much into each line and a proper exegesis would be my entire book. So I shall stop and say that if you don’t get it, then join the book club. An even easier way of saying something about this poem is to say, "Beware the poem with four of the same spelled words, conjugated or not, each which connotes a different type, as the title. "
