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

“We become strangers to each other”
```
We become strangers to each other
And also to our selves.
Our paths have strayed
Although we are together.
Friendly bonds grow
To become what they will.
A painful re-acquaintance is undertaken,
For we stand at the crossroads—
Of love?

Paths IA, vii

At the river today we stand
   In newfound unity of life,
   Prepared to cross its rough waters,
   Leaving behind yin and yang’s strife
For Brahman’s universal hand.
   The initiates come ashore
      Greeted by the forces of Light
      And are given the Love scepter
      After Baptism’s holy right.
   The lessons of eternal splendor
Are taught by Masters from all lands
   To any ready to explore
   The Kingdom through Truth’s open door.

Paths I, vii

The cherished balance eludes us
   As the scales tip from right to left;
   Again we are disoriented,
   Vacillation leaving us bereft.
This chosen path of exodus
   From a life of material gain
      Is often hazardously steep;
      Methodically it must be tread
      To avoid the bottomless deep.
   With balance finally regained
We gaze at the Light around us,
   And succumbing to total strain
   Sleepily greet the warm falling rain.

Children of the Sun XII

If they are unwilling
Or unable to accept
The opportunity
Of the gift now offered
It will be presented
Again and yet again
As it has time after time
Following the agony
Of climbing back to face
Their current dilemma
And again be confronted
By the fear of losing
Individuality
In the ocean of Oneness

From the Center of Being I

Centering each and every thing
From winging bird or grain of sand
To the largest galactic sun
Is an invisible point of Light
Connecting and communicating
With every other point of Light
Throughout the entire universe

Communication
```
There were those we could not
	Communicate with then.
There are those that still
	Cannot be reached,
Yet some with which
	We are together
For their knowledge
That Communication transcends death.

The Child’s Bark

Lurking as a shark
Is the dog’s empty bark.
It has pierced your soul
For tis love she demands
Not gravy in the bowl.

She is not so unlike us
In many ways,
For like a child
In her innocence she plays.

Nineteen Ninety One, May Day V

                     V
Shattered and scattered:
Our Founding Fathers have suffered another death.
Their dusty bones can be heard rattling throughout
The late twentieth century democracy
That allows science and technology to run amok,
Finally destroying any recognition of their Dream.
