Paths I, iv

             
Love of one can be a vacuum,
   An entangled web zealously spun
   That locks into the narrow sphere
   The unity that is illusion.
When the union grows we resume
   Our direction and walk not crawl
      Up the path to find light of day;
      The million sounds that reach our ear
      Tell of new molds to semi-fired clay.
   In the wind seeds randomly fall
Manifesting flowers in bloom. . .
   Our feelings shared in one and all
   Is the growth toward Love Universal.

May I Say We

There is but little to say—
     The cup from which I drink
     And is me
  	Is emptying. . .
     The last drops evaporate
     While the remaining residue
     Awaits cleansing.

Nineteen Ninety One, May Day III

                       III
Alternating between “God Bless America”
And “The Star Spangled Banner”,
The marching band leads the parade
Down Main Street at twelve thirty-five.
Waving flags and sporting yellow ribbons,
Almost the entire population participates;
Leaving a very small audience
To witness this Declaration
Of Independence from Freedom
And the birth of the New World Order.

Paths II, i
```
Falling from divine grace
We forfeit our higher goal
To the self centered wheel
Which still cyclically spins
In utter ignorance
Of paths to awareness.

Immaculate Conception III

Undivided    Unconditioned
Incorruptible Light pulses
Through a possible Future Age
Into the timelessness of Now
To nourish the Child and its host
As they both rapidly mature
Through transformational stages
To ultimately coexist
In the Oneness of Cosmic Man

Paths IA, v

The veils of Truth quickly unfold
   When the pure core of faith within
   Is freed from the smothering walls
   That have kept our Real Self hidden.
Absorbed with Truth’s Light, our foothold
   Presently strengthens us this day
      For any temptations ahead
      That could precipitate a fall
      From the path of awareness we tread.
   With the ascent well underway
The occulted knowledge is told
   To all those immersed in Love’s ray
   To continue their Divine Way.

“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 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.

Pear Blossoms

A chickadee messenger warns
Of grosbeaks waiting by the feeder
In a hypothermic daze.
Late April.  Wind, rain, sleet and hail
Hasten the daffodils demise.
Now, tulips are reluctant,
Oriental poppies terrified.

With seed and wood in short supply
I try to calculate the number
Of times the hourglass must be turned
Before the pear blossoms appear.
