    FrogSong

    My sleeping soul 
    Awakened with a smile
    When a Frog sang     Memory
    Of its unique music
    Echoed through the rain
    And endless cloudy days
    To many years past     Youth
    Innocence    The world’s and mine

    Children of the Sun I

    Currently residing
    Between her two siblings
    Venus and Mars
    The blue jeweled planet
    On whose surface we ride
    Revolves around its parent
    Through the galactic night

    A Shallow Grave

    Praising the empty accomplishment
    Of temples built without foundation,
    We hypnotically pledge allegiance
    To the twin gods of power and money.
    Believing our lifelong search complete,
    We blindly caress these half truths,
    Awakening on our last day to realize
    We were solely the creation of an image.

    Birthing I

    The soul seed of Humanity

    Carrying with it the promised
    Transitional shift into
    The OctoVibrational Field

    Candlelight (For Aldous Huxley)

    Its flame is a unifying force,
    Illuminating the once dark,
    Giving dimension to technopomorphic entities,
    Bringing light and undulating shadows
    To once bleak walls.
    
    It opens your eyes for you see,
    It is your heart and soul,
    For you feel and love
    In your mind’s trance.
    All known senses are keen
    And the unknown seem within grasp.

    The River of Forgetfulness

    Leave all earthly belongings here,
    On this still familiar shore,
    And nakedly step into the water.
    The River of Forgetfulness
    Will permanently wash away
    All your acquired prejudice;
    Releasing worn out opinion
    And popular cancerous thought.

    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
