Come Walk With Me

Father told his son, and I learned:
Death is a process of Living.
But I did not then understand:
Death must also be permitted
To forever walk by our side
For Destiny to Manifest
Beyond this worn circular path
We have endlessly trudged for years.

From an Oak Tree

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

Paths I, ix

Various books of scripture lay
   For our opened eyes to see,
   A testament from all cultures
   Of the world that is to be.
In spectrum’s spiritual array
   Peoples of all colors and creeds
      In silent reverence converse,
      Warning of temptation’s vultures
      That pilot desire’s mortal hearse.
   In scripture Providence’s seed
Is sown to grow and show the way
   For man to quench his thirstful need
   To live life, unshackled and freed.

“The chilling vision”

The chilling vision
Shows seasons turned up side down
And peace into war

If the voters authorize
The current coup d’etat

Paths I, xi

Once beyond the cyclic madness
   We view the pinnacle ahead,
   Giving thanks for not being listed
   Today among the living dead,
Or those falling in their gladness
   To the games of the charlatan.
      Embody the ever eternal flame
      Uncoiling the torn and twisted
      Ways, for which there is only blame.
   Interpret the Divine Musician
Playing chords that brighten sadness
   And be the Good Samaritan
   In which grows the Natural Man.

Mother Earth shared her concern
For the lonely existence

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

Paths I, v

                 
In glimpses of light at tunnels end
   We gain the strength to persevere
   Our night’s desolate darkness
   And ebb the flooding tide of fear.
The depths of despair we transcend
   With newly acquired eyes for sight
      And become immersed in the beam
      Of all expanding awareness
      To wake us from the nightmarish dream.
   Oneness grows, melting wrong or right,
Differences can no longer rend
   Any choice between black and white
   In the glow of everlasting light.

“It is now winter”

It is now winter;
The end—
The beginning—
And an avalanche of thought
For everyone.
