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

Epiphany on the Palouse – C. The Oath

I promise to solemnly wear
The Joe Friday Only the Facts
Badge number seven fourteen,
With mirror, as a reminder
Of when Mussolini Jones read
From the Temple balcony:
Discovering that Poet & Audience
Were not only One,
But the same One.  Death to Poetry!
Became Birth of the Second Law,
And the NonPoetry Movement.

Through Pisces to Aquarius III

             III
The seeds of empty promises
Soon sprout a shallow happiness
That flowers as despairing rage
In those benefiting the least
From material convenience.
Cities violently erupt,
Becoming harbingers of fear
That quickly spread throughout the land.

For Brenda
```
       Poetry
Is the fragrance
	Of each moment
       Inhaled
	During each life
       Exhaled
	Toward a future
       Envisioned
	Now

New Year’s Eve – SwanSong

       SwanSong


Out of the grey sky lake
The six joined by two
Appear near the islands
Flying   Not ducks   not geese
Eight     Winging in a line
Tip to wingtip at eye level

Contact with one     Recognition
Then connection with the gliding
White feathering Swans approaching
The shoreline and my doorstep

Dream Fragment 33

He disengaged hands
Feet from cross and nails
Easing pain down to the floor
Stumbling stretching walking
Through chapel doors down steps
Merging with the swirling snow
And scurrying Christmas crowd
Shopping up down Main Street

“When the bright lights lost their luster
```
When the bright lights lost their luster,
The bittersweet carrot disappeared,
And I began the task of looking,
In hopes of one day Seeing.

Paths IA, iii

Become one with God in silence
   And the Light will forever shine
   To illumine each darkened day
   With knowledge of our gifts divine.
When immersed in His eternal presence
  The Life Immortal grows within,
      Opening formerly locked doors
      So as to view heaven’s stairway
      To existence forevermore.
   Love of God is the origin
Which sparks the needed diligence
   To find centered in His doctrine
   The divine flame which is our twin.

Bird or Dog
```
For years we have acted
And been treated like—
Dogs.

We are as free
As the soaring eagle;
As active as a 
Hummingbird,
Yet we wallow in the mud
Of our own making, like
Hogs.
