“After you begin”
```
    After you begin
Appreciating life
In its entirety,
People seem so busy
In their trivialities—
    Usually involving money.

A Prodigal Poet’s Plea

O Muse, are you here?  I traveled
Many miles to you.  On bended
Knees I beg forgiveness.  No more
Phone calls or letters written.  No
Distance between us.  Together
We can quickly cross frozen ground
And safely return to our home 
Before darkness leads us astray.

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

“Insects and birds sing”
```
Insects and birds sing
An autumnal opera
On Afton Mountain

Passionate in the moment
With no thought for tomorrow

Through Pisces to Aquarius VII

           VII
Techutopia promises
Love that can only emanate
From the mind and not from the soul.
This love of things or position
Is pornography from the dead
To a dying humanity.
The new scriptural messages,
Read from the pulpits of the church
Of our perpetual progress,
Are broadcast through the media
All day and night, all night and day.

May I Say We

There is but little to say—
     The cup from which I drink
     And is me
  	Is emptying. . .
     The last drops evaporate
     While the remaining residue
     Awaits cleansing.

Through Pisces to Aquarius VIII

       VIII
The door closed to his apartment,
After we shook hands as before;
Yet despite all the small talk shared,
I knew that I had said little
To help him understand my world.
One day I’ll return to visit
This dark city that knows no night,
And attempt to communicate
Thoughts beyond the glass reflections
That surround this skyscraping world.

Paths I, viii

Awakening to the morning sun
   We accompany the birds and sing
   Our thankfulness for light of day
   And render this our offering. . .
Humble gifts of selfless action
   Toward a world in harmony.
      While seeking love and brotherhood
      Along the dimly lighted way
      We cast aside evil for good
   Finding actual Reality.
The quest is made with devotion
   For the future Humanity
   To evolve its true Identity.
