Paths I, ix

Various books of scripture lay
   For our opened eyes to see,
   A testament from all cultures
   Of the world that is to be.
In spectrum’s spiritual array
   Peoples of all colors and creeds
      In silent reverence converse,
      Warning of temptation’s vultures
      That pilot desire’s mortal hearse.
   In scripture Providence’s seed
Is sown to grow and show the way
   For man to quench his thirstful need
   To live life, unshackled and freed.

“Is it valid to”
```
Is it valid to 
Orderly push
Ones mind—
Milking it
Expanding it
Thinking. . . .
Being?

For Nani

Don’t postpone living
   Until another day,
For even darkness of night
   Can’t keep the dawn away.

The Owl
```
The owl has spoken
His final piece
As a token
Of his inner peace.

With ease flow his feelings
While clear is his fear
That the love he is giving
May not last the year.

“Living life”
```
Living life
In a dream of oneness for all.
We touch with our heart
While feeling with our soul,
For we are together
On the cold and long road
Of our dreams.

“Poetry is flowing today”
```
Poetry is flowing today;
Thoughts of John Keats
Not so far away—
Neither in his verse
Nor of his time,
But writing only to release
Others so they may find
A smile on their lips
And no fear in the mind.

From the Center of Being II
```
When the inner Voice of Conscience
Began questioning Man’s actions
It redirected his attention
To the dimensionless center
Of his expanding consciousness

Paths I, vi

Is the heaven we seek beyond,
   Or a divine flame within us?
   To reach out, grasping distant star
   Is opening the heart to trust
In a divinely loving bond.
   The seeds of immortality
      In each individual soul
      Lie dormant, to sprout at any hour,
      As we dwarf or nurture their very goal.
   If the quest be made lovingly,
Our eternal life will greet the dawn;
   Awakening the asleep to see
   Heaven’s all encompassing glory.

Atlantis Revisited
```
All these deluded attempts
To dwell, either in past
Or future illusory times
Of lives importantly lived
Only fill diviners’ coffers.
