A Reminder

While watching for signs that confirm
The birthing process has begun
Those who chose to return again
For personal transformation
Soon remember their commitment
To not only be a witness
During the coming transition
But also to be of assistance
To any and all on the Way
Out of the dark   Into the Light

“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.

I Am That I Am
Preceded the Fall of Man
And will always Be

The fulcrum of existence
To project identity

To John Keats
```
Creative thought—
That which is progress
Is found in the form of escape, or
Whether it be daydreams or
Balancing on the fence
Between sleep and wake; for it is
Sleep and Poetry.

Epiphany on the Palouse – B. The Plea

Therefore, I petition the bored;
Referring to section seven,
First Amendment to the Second
Law of Diminishing Audience
To become a standing member
Or one sitting within sight of
The          Society        for		
The          Prevention     of
             Disabled
             Poets.

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

The Prophetic Wind

Children of the Barbarian:
Your days may seem without number,
But can be counted nonetheless.
By worshipping gods of progress
Your essence has been forsaken.
When this Truth is comprehended
The sudden, outraged reaction
Will not halt the polluted flow
Of your futureless future dream.
