Venus

After many centuries in abeyance
The winds of Venus are blowing
To again wreak havoc in our lives.

Red, yellow and blue planetary visions
Kaleidoscopically change in minutes,
Sending cracks through our emotional core
And chilling the superficial warmth
Of all shallow rooted relationships.

The Spirit of Phoenix – A Chant

Rise ye Spirit from the deep,
Spreading invisible wings for vast flight—
Sing out loudly the love of life
And peace on earth of our song.
Higher, higher do soar,
Showing your invincible might.
Bring eyes to those that are blind—
Banish our worldly thoughts,
Whisking the sleep from heavy laden lids.
We look without sight—
Our senses are dulled.

Driftwood Daydream

Fifty-seven winters
I have perched on this coast,
To watch the tide rise up
Only to fall again.
I gawk at you bipeds
Gawking at me in awe,
When my outstretched wings touch
The distant horizon.

First Snow

Unable to find restful sleep
I quickly open the closed blinds
And await the season’s first snow
With youthful anticipation.

This morning one reluctant leaf
Barely clings to the cherry tree
As it gently sways to north winds
Blowing Snow in and Autumn out.

“The tree in the seed”
```
The tree in the seed
Knows its full maturity
As our Cosmic Self

Knows its Immortality
In the zero of silence

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

Metamorphosis

Halted during its slow journey to the other side,
A common turtle lay clumsily split in two.
His natural armor offered little protection
From Man’s four-wheel driven nightmare,
And he became just another unlisted casualty.

As the surging ocean’s unrelenting roar
Announces the arrival of land’s end,
A hummingbird prepares for birthing
By hurriedly picking dandelion seeds
To further warm her soon to be filled nest.

Through Pisces to Aquarius IX

                IX
Modern day Luddite warriors,
Fight not for the jobs you have lost.
Tune out, unplug, and awaken
From the techutopian dream
To join battle late in the day
For the Soul of Humanity.

The One
```
The dust and ashes
Of fear and freud
Have been laid to rest
With fame and fortune

From a common grave
The ashes of time
And dust of Being
Will assemble to Birth
The ONE
```
