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.

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.

Inside the morning rain The summer heat of May Departs on the wind Whipped white capped lake. Hail Dancing to thunder, falls Through the sky cracking Lightning striking afternoon To scatter fragile petals Over white grass. Green stems (more…)

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. (more…)

After you begin
Appreciating life
In its entirety,

In their trivialities—

Can I totally relate
My inner feelings
And experiences
To You?
I think not,
But I must try. . . .

METAMORPHOSIS, 1989 - Second Edition NOW Available.
Collected - New, a collection of all of the poems in one book - Available January 2013.
Tumbling into the previously impenetrable past, We grope for the tables and chairs and faces That for years have cluttered our darkened stage. The continuous repeating of remembered lines Finally begins to clear the distorting haze, And with the glaring footlights rise All remaining shadows quickly dissolve Into the emerging childhood scenes.

Love of one can be a vacuum,
An entangled web zealously spun
That locks into the narrow sphere
The unity that is illusion.
When the union grows we resume
Our direction and walk not crawl
Up the path to find light of day;
The million sounds that reach our ear
Tell of new molds to semi-fired clay.
In the wind seeds randomly fall
Manifesting flowers in bloom. . .
Our feelings shared in one and all
Is the growth toward Love Universal.

The cherished balance eludes us
As the scales tip from right to left;
Again we are disoriented,
Vacillation leaving us bereft.
This chosen path of exodus
From a life of material gain
Is often hazardously steep;
Methodically it must be tread
To avoid the bottomless deep.
With balance finally regained
We gaze at the Light around us,
And succumbing to total strain
Sleepily greet the warm falling rain.
