For Nani

Don’t postpone living
   Until another day,
For even darkness of night
   Can’t keep the dawn away.

Through Pisces to Aquarius V

                V
Ones and zeros.  Zeros and ones.
In proper combinations,
Our loved ones become the graphics
On ever faster computer screens.
All problems can be solved with more
Available information;
Efficiency becomes the key 
To a positive bottom line.
Compute more data.  Garbage in,
More garbage out, up, down, around.

I Am That I Am
Preceded the Fall of Man
And will always Be

The fulcrum of existence
To project identity

Paths I, vi

Is the heaven we seek beyond,
   Or a divine flame within us?
   To reach out, grasping distant star
   Is opening the heart to trust
In a divinely loving bond.
   The seeds of immortality
      In each individual soul
      Lie dormant, to sprout at any hour,
      As we dwarf or nurture their very goal.
   If the quest be made lovingly,
Our eternal life will greet the dawn;
   Awakening the asleep to see
   Heaven’s all encompassing glory.

The Child’s Bark

Lurking as a shark
Is the dog’s empty bark.
It has pierced your soul
For tis love she demands
Not gravy in the bowl.

She is not so unlike us
In many ways,
For like a child
In her innocence she plays.

Children of the Sun XIV
```
With the expected birth
Into the solar family
Of another child
Siblings will again shift
To drift further away
From the place of their birth
And into the comfort
Of newly found orbits

From an Oak Tree

For long hours	Dreaming
Resting      Back to trunk
Enraptured
By sturdy limbs
Carrying seeds
For future generations

Nines
```
In the dark
We arrive
At the west end
Of the continent
Of the millennium

To the outflowing tide
Throw passport     throw bankbook
Excrete     Vomit     Emote

Remember the Love

Cherish all the tender warmth
Of small, thoughtful considerations
Shared in moments of joy and sorrow.
Acknowledge the good times,
Yet be thankful for overcoming the bad,
Always seeking extended periods
Of Peace and Serenity.
