Prayer talks
reflective love passion
Meditation walks
responsive life pleasure
Prayer is meditation
as cognitive life images intuitive love
Sometimes reduced to words
attempting to define
purposeful reality
Sometimes induced without awkward words
refining organic life’s sacred love
meaningful relationships
Reforming
disorganizing death’s desecrating
meaningless non-relationship.
Reducing inductive meditations
to produce deductive reflections
may lead to seductive mystic paradox
Redacting
distracting
retraction
The silent Muse
may deeply feel
desecrating death’s inevitable cause
remains organic life
While the prayerful Sage
may profoundly believe
organic life’s unavoidable effect
portends desecrating death.
Life’s absence
does not always provoke beating hearts
to grow fonder
Yet love’s presence
is always necessary,
and yet insufficient,
to avoid life’s organic losses.
Natural life’s spiritual love
feels like something healthier than
unnatural death’s desecrating lovelessness.
If “lovelessness” is not a proper prayerful word,
could this be because loveless meditations
remain so relentlessly still
unspoken?
Sage prayers acknowledge personal trauma
causing disturbingly dissonant effects
while
meditating muses recognize longer-term personal
AND larger-terminating political
silencing systems
of deadly desecrating disgrace.
So too,
we may sagely anticipate specific therapeutic
blessed events
and also muse longer-term personal
and deeper bred political
wealth systems
loving sacred living grace.
