Alphabet Parade

Amber arguments ask answers
Before blue bereaving berets
Can change certain colored candles
Dripping down diners delivering
Exotic erotic earthly eggrolls
For foreign film fanatics
Growing gangrenous garden grapes
Heavenly helping homemakers
Identify icy islands (more…)

Paths, 1978 - Second Edition NOW Available.
Collected - New, a collection of all of the poems in one book - Available January 2013.

Paths IA, iv

Whenever the soul’s descent ceases
   The building process can begin
   To revive the inner strength lost
   When mortal darkness grew within.
With hope commences the release 
   From our soul’s rebirthing desire
      And the appeal for earthly gain,
      Which was purchased at any cost
      And whose pleasures reaped only pain.
   Sown seeds of hope help to inspire
Our growing faith for the peace
   On earth that every soul requires
   When climbing paths ever higher.

Through Pisces to Aquarius VII

           VII
Techutopia promises
Love that can only emanate
From the mind and not from the soul.
This love of things or position
Is pornography from the dead
To a dying humanity.
The new scriptural messages,
Read from the pulpits of the church
Of our perpetual progress,
Are broadcast through the media
All day and night, all night and day.

Dream Fragment 33

He disengaged hands
Feet from cross and nails
Easing pain down to the floor
Stumbling stretching walking
Through chapel doors down steps
Merging with the swirling snow
And scurrying Christmas crowd
Shopping up down Main Street

Children of the Sun VI

Again as before
On the third planet
Thinking inhabitants
Began to emerge
To begin the journey
Countless generations
Of distant relatives
Had previously taken
Through multiple stages
Of individual growth

Self Portrait

Somehow caught in the sands of time,
Consonants and vowels still commingle
To slowly waltz across the page.
In fleeting glimpses of the Eternal,
This child prodigy of plus forty
Wanders the deserts day and night
Endlessly scratching black on white
In full dress rehearsal of Life.

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.

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
