July Morning

Through the pink falling rain
The illusive catbird
Clearly calls me by name

Hanging from folded clouds
Rainbow fragments
Vanish     Reappear    
Then lengthen and double     
Brushstroking
The reflected mountains
To leave the lake awash
In kaleidoscopic color

METAMORPHOSIS, 1989 - Second Edition NOW Available.

“Do we sink, swim”

Do we sink, swim
Or endlessly tread water?
This seesaw life of constant choice
Must yield to the Balance within
If Existence is to continue.

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.

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

Truth
```
Look in the mirror
It will not lie.
Answer the question—
Look yourself
Square in the eye.

Look again,
What do you see?
Just a façade—
Not your identity.

Children of the Sun XV
```
The ongoing journey
That initially began
In the static Mind
And imagination
Of the ONE
Continues for aeons
Through the agony
Of separateness
To ultimately return
To the ONE

A Dream

I am with Child
I sense its presence
I feel its movement
I know its thoughts

Finally I understand
The Cosmic Child is within me
Restlessly waiting to be Birthed
Into the Light of a New Day

“We have passed this way before”
```
We have passed this way before
On our journey to the lake.
We have seen the rapids,
The falls and the pools
Of life,
Of Man,
Yet we continue our trek
For the cycle
Never ends.

“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.
