Cherish each moment
In the presence of petals
Unfolding rose red

Love patiently residing
At the Center of Being

That on the third planet
Few have been successful
Acquiring the knowledge
Necessary to live
As the enlightened ones
They will someday become

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

Paths II, iv
```
Banners of prejudice
Maliciously declare
The misdirected depths
To which we have fallen;
Soon foregoing hope
Of peaceful unity.

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

In a not too distant
Future galactic time

In Praise of Living

I have awaited the moment
When you honestly thought of Living
And not dying before your time.
That this idea bloomed in winter
With no trace of snow on the ground,
Or small patches of blue sky seen
Through the purgatorial grey,
Is the bold action possible
Only when days become windows.

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.

Groundhog Day

Who can distinguish night from day
In the twilight of history?
Does this dull light signal nights end,
Or only the last light of day?

Some believe the sun will soon rise
To reverse the flow of darkness,
While others hear the dying screams
Of their Destiny Manifest.
