Today – Tomorrow
```
   Today

Can I totally relate
    My inner feelings
    And experiences
To You?

I think not,
But I must try. . . .

The Thread of Life

Tumbling into the previously impenetrable past,
We grope for the tables and chairs and faces
That for years have cluttered our darkened stage.
The continuous repeating of remembered lines
Finally begins to clear the distorting haze,
And with the glaring footlights rise
All remaining shadows quickly dissolve
Into the emerging childhood scenes.

“The time has been reached”
```
The time has been reached,
The limit surpassed,
For the games of old
Reoccur at last.

You try so hard,
Though you’ve failed before
To bridge the stream
And open the door.

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

For Ocean

The dead carcass that recently washed ashore
Has been curiously gawked at from afar,
Repulsively hovered over and stick-poked
By clutching lovers and beachcombers alike.
Each successive high tide pushes it further,
To ultimately rest in odoriferous decay
On river washed and surf polished stones
For the seagulls, crows and various insects
To greedily pick at in ceremonial feast.

Remember Not to Forget

The mountains have been moved.
There are cracks in the walls
Of personal and societal brick.
As the flower Terra grows,
Forming a perfect bud,
We see in its emergence
Living visions of a future
Mankind has always known.

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…)

Birthing I

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

Prayer for the Living

Rushing, pushing and striving to obtain
Enlightenment and riches in an hour or a day,
Leaves us no time whatsoever to wait
For this Tree to grow tall and oak straight.

Our newly felled sapling becomes
Another very poor excuse
For some building material
Or long dead martyr’s sacred post.
