Borning Prayer

Mother-Father
Blessed Universal Presence
Residing in the Eternal Now
Let your Presence be Known
Within this physical vehicle
Purifying and aligning
The seven energy centers
In each and every one of its bodies
Lighting the Vertical Pathway
Firing the Cross of Creation (more…)

Children of the Sun II
```
Many aeons ago
As the Sun birthed Venus
The molten planet Earth
Began to rapidly cool
As it found residence
In the humid orbit
Older brother Mars
Previously called home

Every Day
```
Live every day,
May it be your last.
Love every winging bird,
Every blade of grass.

The rain from the heavens,
The warmth of the sun;
Breathe and touch all life
With Love and Affection
Till your day is done.

Birthing II

With each new contraction chaos
Further shakes a society
Overpopulated with fear
And addicted to the image
Of a glorious history
Seen as manifest destiny

Unwilling to wake from this dream
Some attempt to halt the coming
Of something beyond their control
And ability to understand

“I want to taste your love”

I want to taste your love
As together we become one
In the warmth and security
Of each other’s arms and bodies.

While two days will be eternal to us
We shall experience all in total.

All will end, but only in time’s scope,
For it will remain forever in our hearts
And minds as we pass beyond time.

Children of the Sun VII

Spinning and wobbling
Through long days and nights
Mother Earth shudders
As her passengers
Travel the rutted roads
Of emerging thought

Venus

After many centuries in abeyance
The winds of Venus are blowing
To again wreak havoc in our lives.

Red, yellow and blue planetary visions
Kaleidoscopically change in minutes,
Sending cracks through our emotional core
And chilling the superficial warmth
Of all shallow rooted relationships.

Dream Fragment 8
```
Nightly swaying darkly
Through catacombs of sleep
Subterranean lives
Repeat mumbled questions
To echoing mirrors
Answered by meteors
Showering broken glass
On the highway of hope

Continue to The Promise
