    “Tomorrow – a new day”

    Tomorrow—a new day
    To be dealt with as we will.
    
    A new life’s door is before us,
    Yet we open yesterdoor
    Without thought
    In the habit of our ways.

    Paths II, v

    Hateful utterances
    Express our bigotry;
    As caught in the whirlwind
    Thoughts of mass minds decay
    We lose the direction
    Of formerly trod ways.

    Prairie Cleansing

    Angers away  Eastward
                 Floating
    Heavy cluttered mind
    Baggage cast aside
    	
    Lakes   mountains   trees
    Gone        Forgotten
    Blind traveling folded
    Into Saskatchewan sun
    Rising over fence lines
    Touching blue domed sky

    Driftwood Daydream

    Fifty-seven winters
    I have perched on this coast,
    To watch the tide rise up
    Only to fall again.
    I gawk at you bipeds
    Gawking at me in awe,
    When my outstretched wings touch
    The distant horizon.

    From an Oak Tree

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

    Through Pisces to Aquarius IX

                    IX
    Modern day Luddite warriors,
    Fight not for the jobs you have lost.
    Tune out, unplug, and awaken
    From the techutopian dream
    To join battle late in the day
    For the Soul of Humanity.

    Paths IA, viii

    The deep rooted totality
       Found inside each one’s heart center
       Can now spring forth without effort
       Toward new horizons, and enter
    Lost levels of infinity,
       Previously beyond our dreams.
          With angelical assistance
          As our needed sacred passport,
          All gifts of loving abundance
       Are extended from heaven’s scheme
    To manifest a tapestry
       Woven with threads of thoughts supreme
       Flowing from eternity’s stream.

    Birthing I

    The soul seed of Humanity
    Has sprouted reaching for the Light
    Carrying with it the promised
    Transitional shift into
    The OctoVibrational Field

    “Common sense”

    Common sense,
    What is it?
    It was once a pamphlet,
    But now what?
