Poppies

Peeking from protective pods,
We are poppies
Of indefinable Orange,
Radiant newborn suns
Opening these fragile petals
To explore, find and finally feel
Our Individual Uniqueness
At the Center
Of Being.

Kalaloch Midnight
```
Day and night, mist
Drizzle and fog.
The tide comes in,
The tide goes out.
Land.  Ocean.  Grey
Mirror images
Roaring, boiling
Raw, chattering
Minds to Silence.

“Tomorrow – a new day”
```
Tomorrow—a new day
To be dealt with as we will.

A new life’s door is before us,
Yet we open yesterdoor
Without thought
In the habit of our ways.

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

“Swallowing a nostalgic placebo
```
Swallowing a nostalgic placebo
Quickly relieves today’s pain,
Validating this illusion of life. . .
Unlived even in finality.

A Map
```
I AM the Eighth Energetic
Located at the nexus point
Within the Cross of Creation
Now ready for You to Open

Find it   Know it and Realize
The One You are Destined to Be

“Other scavengers pluck her tail feathers”

Other scavengers pluck her tail feathers,
Limiting the Eagle’s mobility and power.
One by one the feathers are taken
Making flight practically impossible.

New Year’s Eve – SwanSong

       SwanSong


Out of the grey sky lake
The six joined by two
Appear near the islands
Flying   Not ducks   not geese
Eight     Winging in a line
Tip to wingtip at eye level

Contact with one     Recognition
Then connection with the gliding
White feathering Swans approaching
The shoreline and my doorstep
