    Through Pisces to Aquarius VI

                   VI
    He continued with the story
    Of his latest business venture,
    At times interspersed with phone calls
    Or news of family and friends.
    
    I wanted to mention the awe
    Of first seeing the northern lights
    And their frenzied undulations;
    At times covering the night sky
    With many wild, breathing colors;

    Communication

    There were those we could not
    	Communicate with then.
    There are those that still
    	Cannot be reached,
    Yet some with which
    	We are together
    For their knowledge
    That Communication transcends death.

    Children of the Sun VI

    Again as before
    On the third planet
    Thinking inhabitants
    Began to emerge
    To begin the journey
    Countless generations
    Of distant relatives
    Had previously taken
    Through multiple stages
    Of individual growth

    The Promise

    As a constant reminder		
    I taped a yellow
    And a blue crocus
    To the inside of my head
    
    Continue to Night of the Living

    Self Portrait

    Somehow caught in the sands of time,
    Consonants and vowels still commingle
    To slowly waltz across the page.
    In fleeting glimpses of the Eternal,
    This child prodigy of plus forty
    Wanders the deserts day and night
    Endlessly scratching black on white
    In full dress rehearsal of Life.

    Paths IA, x

    A wedding of diverse forces
       Within the newly evolved Man
       Creates an everlasting fire
       Where the flickering flame began.
    Our journey’s return to the source
       Is often difficultly slow;
          Becoming heaven’s instrument
          We soon lose our earthly desire,
          While donning the sacred garment
       Of His ever eternal flow.
    Once on the straight and narrow course
       The Man Divine must surely grow
       From celestial embryo.
