The gift on your doorstep
Today
Was imagined and created
Yesterday

Word and deed

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.

Through Pisces to Aquarius VIII

       VIII
The door closed to his apartment,
After we shook hands as before;
Yet despite all the small talk shared,
I knew that I had said little
To help him understand my world.
One day I’ll return to visit
This dark city that knows no night,
And attempt to communicate
Thoughts beyond the glass reflections
That surround this skyscraping world.

Children of the Sun XIII

The solar family met
To hear the announcement
Of the long rumored birth
Of another child planet
In a not too distant
Future galactic time

Paths II, iii
```
In His name, worshipping
Idols of mortal man,
We blindly march to war
Creating hell on earth
For faceless enemies
We’ve never seen before.

Paths I, xi

Once beyond the cyclic madness
   We view the pinnacle ahead,
   Giving thanks for not being listed
   Today among the living dead,
Or those falling in their gladness
   To the games of the charlatan.
      Embody the ever eternal flame
      Uncoiling the torn and twisted
      Ways, for which there is only blame.
   Interpret the Divine Musician
Playing chords that brighten sadness
   And be the Good Samaritan
   In which grows the Natural Man.

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.

Through Pisces to Aquarius IV

                    IV
We both knew it had been some years
Since we spent much time together.
There were many stories to tell
And so few hours to get all said;
Yet I wanted to share my joy
Of living near mountains and lakes:
