“Fireflies at twilight”

Fireflies at twilight
Illumine the Blue Ridge Christ
As it catches leaves

Blown from the disrobing trees
On winds of changing season

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.

Adieu Once Again

The veil of history is lifting.
     The mind’s eye opens. . .
          Seeing, feeling, re-experiencing
          The lives we have shared
          And the innumerable times
               Our paths have crossed;
     The past events race by,
          As we, the minor characters
          In the eternally flowing
               Play of life—
               Intermingle.

“The chilling vision”

The chilling vision
Shows seasons turned up side down
And peace into war

If the voters authorize
The current coup d’etat

“The Creative Castle contains”

The creative castle contains
Uncountable passageways
Leading to hallways
And unopened doors.
A random selection
Has been the key.

Untitled April
```
Moon and cherry tree
Together in bloom,
Full.  Moon and blossoms
Waning in light winds,
Fall.  Pieces of white
Drop, softly caressing
Sacred ground.  Beneath

Leaving our footprints
In the sands of time
We walk till sunset
Your hand in mine.

Wedding Vows

Let us not talk about Love,
       Except for all Living Things.
Let us not speak of Marriage,
       Except to the Ideals of Peace
       And Freedom for All.
Let us not desire commitment,
       Except to One Earth.
