    Nineteen Ninety One, May Day III

                           III
    Alternating between “God Bless America”
    And “The Star Spangled Banner”,
    The marching band leads the parade
    Down Main Street at twelve thirty-five.
    Waving flags and sporting yellow ribbons,
    Almost the entire population participates;
    Leaving a very small audience
    To witness this Declaration
    Of Independence from Freedom
    And the birth of the New World Order.

    From the Center of Being II

    When the inner Voice of Conscience
    Began questioning Man’s actions
    It redirected his attention
    To the dimensionless center
    Of his expanding consciousness

    Groundhog Day

    Who can distinguish night from day
    In the twilight of history?
    Does this dull light signal nights end,
    Or only the last light of day?
    
    Some believe the sun will soon rise
    To reverse the flow of darkness,
    While others hear the dying screams
    Of their Destiny Manifest.

    A Dream

    I am with Child
    I sense its presence
    I feel its movement
    I know its thoughts
    
    Finally I understand
    The Cosmic Child is within me
    Restlessly waiting to be Birthed
    Into the Light of a New Day
