    Untitled April

    Moon and cherry tree
    Together in bloom,
    Full.  Moon and blossoms
    Waning in light winds,
    Fall.  Pieces of white
    Drop, softly caressing
    Sacred ground.  Beneath

    Paths II, ii

    The differences appear
    To dismember oneness,
    And soon all worth is Me,
    The love of our neighbor
    Degenerates to greed
    And hateful jealousy.

    Immaculate Conception IV

    The Light generated within
    Travels up the shining pathway
    Meeting the descending Light Waves
    Exploding near the Heart Center
    Firing the Cross of Creation
    Sending light through arms out fingers
    To enhance the transformation
    Of all life forms on planet Earth

    Dream Fragment 5

    Smartly dressed in red and black
    The ants climb the green stalks
    Slowly circling and circling
    To coax a tightly wrapped bud
    Open for the hidden pink
    Gift of a peony sun
    Rising over the green mountain
    Of my flowering mind

    “Living life”

    Living life
    In a dream of oneness for all.
    We touch with our heart
    While feeling with our soul,
    For we are together
    On the cold and long road
    Of our dreams.

    In the Shaman’s Breath

                     I
    O Shaman Shaman
    With cold penetrating breath
    Having been pushed to the edge
    Will you reveal a chilling death?

    Adieu Once Again

    The veil of history is lifting.
         The mind’s eye opens. . .
              Seeing, feeling, re-experiencing
              The lives we have shared
              And the innumerable times
                   Our paths have crossed;
         The past events race by,
              As we, the minor characters
              In the eternally flowing
                   Play of life—
                   Intermingle.
