    May I Say We

    There is but little to say—
         The cup from which I drink
         And is me
      	Is emptying. . .
         The last drops evaporate
         While the remaining residue
         Awaits cleansing.

    Immaculate Conception I

    The Idea of Cosmic Man
    Carried within each soul at birth
    Constantly reminds Consciousness
    Of its duty to generate
    Sufficient luminosity
    To invite the Holy Spirit
    For partnering in conceiving
    The Celestial Embryo

    Of Two

    Windy is the night.
    The storms of passion
    Turned out the lights
    And the love and the dreams
    Of Two.
    
    Grey clouds cover all
    In their world
    As the rains fall,
    Streaming down the cheeks
    Of Two.

    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 Owl

    The owl has spoken
    His final piece
    As a token
    Of his inner peace.
    
    With ease flow his feelings
    While clear is his fear
    That the love he is giving
    May not last the year.

    “Help is coming”

    Help is coming—
    It is in your mind
    If you stop your games
    And find the time.
    
    And if you look
    You still can see
    Your non-existence
    Must cease to be.

    METAMORPHOSIS, 1989 - Second Edition NOW Available.

    “Do we sink, swim”

    Do we sink, swim
    Or endlessly tread water?
    This seesaw life of constant choice
    Must yield to the Balance within
    If Existence is to continue.

    Immaculate Conception V

    As motion finally finds rest
    The Golden Spheres of Liquid Light
    Begin weaving a chrysalis
    To encase the Child and its host
    In a protective envelope
    Creating an environment
    For the expanding Consciousness
    To attain OctoAwareness
    Being in perfect Harmony
    With the Universal Heartbeat
    Of the emerging Cosmic Age

    “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
