Night of the Living

Waking late from the living death,
I ran naked through moonlit fields.
A barefoot bath in morning dew
Reminded me:  I am Alive,
And not bound by the common dream.

Do not hide behind distant cloud
Or slip past the dark horizon,
But return, Mother moon of night,
To hear my lonely song rising
From the shadowed valley of sleep.

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.

Birthing II

With each new contraction chaos
Further shakes a society
Overpopulated with fear
And addicted to the image
Of a glorious history
Seen as manifest destiny

Unwilling to wake from this dream
Some attempt to halt the coming
Of something beyond their control
And ability to understand

Paths I, x

The paths pitfalls are ever near
   Blinding direction’s future goal,
   For without flowing purity
   We greet the all engulfing hole
And don ego’s conquesting spear.
   We pause at the unmarked crossroads
      For our daily meditation
      And gain the strength and clarity
      Of heaven sent revelation,
   Purging dark forces that corrode.
All the question’s answers ring clear
   When each walking Love’s lighted road
   Lives according to the divine code.

Paths I, v

                 
In glimpses of light at tunnels end
   We gain the strength to persevere
   Our night’s desolate darkness
   And ebb the flooding tide of fear.
The depths of despair we transcend
   With newly acquired eyes for sight
      And become immersed in the beam
      Of all expanding awareness
      To wake us from the nightmarish dream.
   Oneness grows, melting wrong or right,
Differences can no longer rend
   Any choice between black and white
   In the glow of everlasting light.

Remember Not to Forget

The mountains have been moved.
There are cracks in the walls
Of personal and societal brick.
As the flower Terra grows,
Forming a perfect bud,
We see in its emergence
Living visions of a future
Mankind has always known.

Wedding Vows

Let us not talk about Love,
       Except for all Living Things.
Let us not speak of Marriage,
       Except to the Ideals of Peace
       And Freedom for All.
Let us not desire commitment,
       Except to One Earth.

“I want to taste your love”

I want to taste your love
As together we become one
In the warmth and security
Of each other’s arms and bodies.

While two days will be eternal to us
We shall experience all in total.

All will end, but only in time’s scope,
For it will remain forever in our hearts
And minds as we pass beyond time.
