Floating on the Lake
```
Extinguish distractions
Lighting your mind,
Seek the answers
And food for thought
You shall find.

Searching your depths
Surpassing all time
Peace can be found
In life’s endless rhyme.

Alphabet Parade

Amber arguments ask answers
Before blue bereaving berets
Can change certain colored candles
Dripping down diners delivering
Exotic erotic earthly eggrolls
For foreign film fanatics
Growing gangrenous garden grapes
Heavenly helping homemakers
Identify icy islands (more…)

Children of the Sun VII
```
Spinning and wobbling
Through long days and nights
Mother Earth shudders
As her passengers
Travel the rutted roads
Of emerging thought

“We have been alone too long—“
From the book 10 to 17 February Afternoons
```
We have been alone too long---

Frustrations caused by our inability
     To communicate
          with each other
          And Nature
     Have pushed us
          Over the edge
          Of living
          And feeling life.
The importance of every
     Seed,
     Leaf,
     Branch,
     Limb,
     And Trunk,
     Of every tree,
     Seem often overlooked;
          For they are as
          Individually different
          As each and every
          One of us.

Epiphany on the Palouse – E. Education

While doing research for my new book,
THE METEORIC RISE
OF THE THIRD RIGHT SANS GRAVITY,
Subtitled, “The Magma Farta
Of the Third Millennium,”
I had to acknowledge that Rush
Must be right:  Millions and millions
Of lemmings can’t all be wrong headed
Wrong headed.

Nineteen Ninety One, May Day III

                       III
Alternating between “God Bless America”
And “The Star Spangled Banner”,
The marching band leads the parade
Down Main Street at twelve thirty-five.
Waving flags and sporting yellow ribbons,
Almost the entire population participates;
Leaving a very small audience
To witness this Declaration
Of Independence from Freedom
And the birth of the New World Order.

Bird or Dog
```
For years we have acted
And been treated like—
Dogs.

We are as free
As the soaring eagle;
As active as a 
Hummingbird,
Yet we wallow in the mud
Of our own making, like
Hogs.

Paths IA, ix

Spiritual growth can now commence
   To accelerate in the Light
   Of loving Truth’s immortal beam,
   Showing us the basic birthright
Received from His Holy Essence
   As your keys to eternity.
      Higher evolution for Man
      Is the undying vision seen
      Whenever we accept the plans
   Drawn for our Real Identity.
The sacred path of awareness,
   Being the way of purity
   Is life’s capstone to liberty.
