(Readers desiring clarification of the terms “Nova Terra” and “Gaia Terra New” may find it by search bar at page bottom of the poet’s primary site at http://troubadorofversepoetry.wordpress.com, typing in “A Correspondence Worth Printing.”

No one knows when the coming event will occur ~ even those who will set it off here are waiting for final word from their national and international networks ~ anyone who’s tried to organize even a High School dance will understand the delays.

However ~ with the world’s known terrorists suddenly showing up en masse at our southern border, it’s safe to say there probably isn’t much time left.

Certainly it is a moment in which to make some important personal decisions.

At the moment of change, it will be what you have allowed yourself to dwell on habitually in your thoughts which will determine where you find yourself afterward. 

Enjoy explosions? Think of sweating, weeping, despairing women as entertainment?

Most Americans do. 

The continuing third dimension will be full of them.

More into sunshine on flourishing fields, topped by wise and happy singing birds?

Coming right up for you.)

Visions of Nova Terra ~ The New Poetry

No longer must we poets
Ever outcast be
No longer must we exorcise
Excessive misery

No longer indicate to all
How far most of us be
Reas’nable compassion from,
Creating misery

For self and for each other,
No longer must we burn
Alone in love, for love’s regard
Toward us doth return

No longer try to find a way
For making others see
Their participation
In the gen’ral tragedy

For tragedy no longer is
That upon which our culture’s bent
Now we to one another be
Beneficent in our intent

As gardeners, gatekeepers
And as one anothers’ healers go —
It is a life more joyful
Which we on Nova Terra know

And yet, we yet have poets:
And now, what they create,
Rather than correcting us,
Helps us celebrate!

“Look,” they tell us, “at that flow’r
A bit more carefully —
Are you not astounded
At the masterpiece you see?

“Have you considered lately
What miracles we are —
Capable of sitting near
And yet dreaming afar?

“Do you know the amazing
Hydraulics that there be
In just one single blade of grass,
Never mind a tree?

“Now on this perfect evening
Would you like to come along?
We’re making of our gratitude
An ecstatic song

“With which to one another
And to Light hov’ring spirits bring
An exquisite pleasure
As in harmony we sing!”
