Unsung May

Inside the morning rain
The summer heat of May
Departs on the wind
Whipped white capped lake.  Hail

Dancing to thunder, falls
Through the sky cracking
Lightning striking afternoon
To scatter fragile petals
Over white grass.  Green stems

Immaculate Conception V

As motion finally finds rest
The Golden Spheres of Liquid Light
Begin weaving a chrysalis
To encase the Child and its host
In a protective envelope
Creating an environment
For the expanding Consciousness
To attain OctoAwareness
Being in perfect Harmony
With the Universal Heartbeat
Of the emerging Cosmic Age

From an Oak Tree
```
For long hours	Dreaming
Resting      Back to trunk
Enraptured
By sturdy limbs
Carrying seeds
For future generations

The Promise

As a constant reminder		
I taped a yellow
And a blue crocus
To the inside of my head

And All the King’s Men

We have finally passed the point of no return,
And during transition from fragile order
To the Chaos we invited into being,
Persistent Decay is all that can exist. . .

   But, with blinders intact,
      We see it not;
   From positions of power,
      We hear it not;
         Yet, we know. . .

“We hold the key”
```
We hold the key
To see the light
Of our past failures,
Yet we stumble through the darkness
Of daylight
Without noticing
Our shortcomings.

New Year’s Eve – SwanSong

       SwanSong


Out of the grey sky lake
The six joined by two
Appear near the islands
Flying   Not ducks   not geese
Eight     Winging in a line
Tip to wingtip at eye level

Contact with one     Recognition
Then connection with the gliding
White feathering Swans approaching
The shoreline and my doorstep

Nineteen Ninety One, May Day II

                  II
In agitated exhaustion, we come
Seeking Ocean’s restless rejuvenation.
During the wailing Pacific gales
Undertows and high, ripping tides
Reclaim real estate by the acre
In an attempt to provide safe haven
For some of this continent under siege.
