Dream Fragment 11

Between blanket and moon
Exhausted stars vibrate
On this excited flesh
Burning over passion
Fulfilled and expectant
Sensing an angel’s touch
From digits descending
Through heavens reflection

Amanita Cloud

For centuries the Sacred Mushroom Ritual
Has been a vehicle for reaching Eternity.
We need not risk physical ingestion,
And the possible effects of its deadly poison,
If we symbolically see this visual keyhole
As showing us the way to that other world
Far beyond our day to day comprehension.

Beyond
```
With strength of mind
And purpose,
One may 
Force the Seer
To close his eyes
In perplexing confusion,
Thusly freeing
The sixth sense
From becoming
Someone’s bondage,
God and guiding light.

Nineteen Ninety One, May Day V

                     V
Shattered and scattered:
Our Founding Fathers have suffered another death.

The late twentieth century democracy
That allows science and technology to run amok,
Finally destroying any recognition of their Dream.

With cold penetrating breath
Having been pushed to the edge
Will you reveal a chilling death?

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

The black walnut tree
Stands in majestic silence
Awaiting winter

Knowing that the falling leaves
Protect its fallen seed fruit
