Communication
```
There were those we could not
	Communicate with then.
There are those that still
	Cannot be reached,
Yet some with which
	We are together
For their knowledge
That Communication transcends death.

“We become strangers to each other”
```
We become strangers to each other
And also to our selves.
Our paths have strayed
Although we are together.
Friendly bonds grow
To become what they will.
A painful re-acquaintance is undertaken,
For we stand at the crossroads—
Of love?

Today
```
Yellow dandelions
Dot a sea of green;
Walking in a field
As if in a dream.

A bird sings a love song
So new, so sweet,
Ushering in spring
As the sun warms
Your cold, bare feet.

Beyond
```
With strength of mind
And purpose,
One may 
Force the Seer
To close his eyes
In perplexing confusion,
Thusly freeing
The sixth sense
From becoming
Someone’s bondage,
God and guiding light.

Prayer for the Living

Rushing, pushing and striving to obtain
Enlightenment and riches in an hour or a day,
Leaves us no time whatsoever to wait
For this Tree to grow tall and oak straight.

Our newly felled sapling becomes
Another very poor excuse
For some building material
Or long dead martyr’s sacred post.

Paths I, i

                 
I leave the world of thoughts supine!
   To see the twilight of desire
   Mirrored in the changed face I meet
   Helps reduce the heat of passion’s fire
While dwelling anew beyond time
   In a vision’s view of beauty rare.
      Through infant eyes of clarity
      The virgin worlds of this life, greet
      All past reflections placidly;
   Ascending new heights on the stair,
Come to rest at the balance line
   Between minds laid openly bare
   And mature fetters of dead despair.

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

The Cul de Sac of Growth

Innocence blesses our early waxing years—
The freedom possessed though not known
Is a release from prejudice, hate and fear,
Until seeds of worldly knowledge are sown.

The senses pleasures become our growth,
As pushing and striving for distant gain
We cast aside the heavenly oath
To replace universal love with mortal pain.

Children of the Sun VI

Again as before
On the third planet
Thinking inhabitants
Began to emerge
To begin the journey
Countless generations
Of distant relatives
Had previously taken
Through multiple stages
Of individual growth
