July Morning

Through the pink falling rain
The illusive catbird
Clearly calls me by name

Hanging from folded clouds
Rainbow fragments
Vanish     Reappear    
Then lengthen and double     
Brushstroking
The reflected mountains
To leave the lake awash
In kaleidoscopic color

Paths IA, vi

In contact with the Holy Choir
   Our Spirit’s intense fire rages
   To help ward off the earthly thoughts
   That have swallowed Man for ages
In the quicksands of mortal mire.
  When locked in Higher Truth’s domain
      We precipitate our soul’s reunion
      With our Spirit, and can pilot
      This newfound self’s total union.
   Becoming a link in His chain
Helps fulfill the Divine Desire
   For Humanity to regain
   The lost oneness of Eden’s reign.

Autumn
```
I sit with autumn
Entering the prairie,
While spring is
Eternally reborn.

A tear momentarily
Distorts perspective
For departure
Looms on the horizon.

A Shallow Grave

Praising the empty accomplishment
Of temples built without foundation,
We hypnotically pledge allegiance
To the twin gods of power and money.
Believing our lifelong search complete,
We blindly caress these half truths,
Awakening on our last day to realize
We were solely the creation of an image.

Dream Fragment 28

I stood alone before the moon
Waning in the sun wondering
If my shadow would disappear
And then pulled the hands of the clock
From my pocket burying them
Under the rocks without number
While digging and planting this field

Children of the Sun XIV
```
With the expected birth
Into the solar family
Of another child
Siblings will again shift
To drift further away
From the place of their birth
And into the comfort
Of newly found orbits

The Rebirth of Time
```
Time dissolves
When Knowing
PresentFuturePast
And Breathing
Inside the moment

Now	 Becoming
Here     There
Simultaneously
Everywhere
