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.

Metamorphosis

Halted during its slow journey to the other side,
A common turtle lay clumsily split in two.
His natural armor offered little protection
From Man’s four-wheel driven nightmare,
And he became just another unlisted casualty.

As the surging ocean’s unrelenting roar
Announces the arrival of land’s end,
A hummingbird prepares for birthing
By hurriedly picking dandelion seeds
To further warm her soon to be filled nest.

Immaculate Conception V

As motion finally finds rest
The Golden Spheres of Liquid Light
Begin weaving a chrysalis
To encase the Child and its host
In a protective envelope
Creating an environment
For the expanding Consciousness
To attain OctoAwareness
Being in perfect Harmony
With the Universal Heartbeat
Of the emerging Cosmic Age

Through Pisces to Aquarius II

Hiroshima!  Nagasaki!
The bomb explodes inside the mind,
Imprinting the horror within
Each living and unborn psyche.

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

“Poetry is flowing today”
```
Poetry is flowing today;
Thoughts of John Keats
Not so far away—
Neither in his verse
Nor of his time,
But writing only to release
Others so they may find
A smile on their lips
And no fear in the mind.

A Shallow Grave

Praising the empty accomplishment
Of temples built without foundation,
We hypnotically pledge allegiance
To the twin gods of power and money.
Believing our lifelong search complete,
We blindly caress these half truths,
Awakening on our last day to realize
We were solely the creation of an image.

Today – Tomorrow
```
   Today

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

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

Loons softly paddling
Under a mostly full moon
Begin mimicking

The boisterous blathering
Of the inebriated
