    From the Center of Being II

    When the inner Voice of Conscience

    To the dimensionless center
    Of his expanding consciousness

    Groundhog Day

    Who can distinguish night from day
    In the twilight of history?
    Does this dull light signal nights end,
    Or only the last light of day?
    
    Some believe the sun will soon rise
    To reverse the flow of darkness,
    While others hear the dying screams
    Of their Destiny Manifest.

    Children of the Sun XII

    If they are unwilling
    Or unable to accept
    The opportunity
    Of the gift now offered
    It will be presented
    Again and yet again
    As it has time after time
    Following the agony
    Of climbing back to face
    Their current dilemma
    And again be confronted
    By the fear of losing
    Individuality
    In the ocean of Oneness

    Man

    Most males are cold
    Unfeeling
        Individuals. . .?
    
    Possibly this explains
    An ability to relate to women
    And the feelings of love
    We have for them.

    “A death has been knocking at the door”

    A death has been knocking at the door,
    But I refuse to listen and only ignore;
    For Destiny is worth keeping
    These two feet terra firmly seeking
    To extend the never ending Dream
    Beyond personal reality.

    Remember Not to Forget

    The mountains have been moved.
    There are cracks in the walls
    Of personal and societal brick.
    As the flower Terra grows,
    Forming a perfect bud,
    We see in its emergence
    Living visions of a future
    Mankind has always known.

    Paths IA, viii

    The deep rooted totality
       Found inside each one’s heart center
       Can now spring forth without effort
       Toward new horizons, and enter
    Lost levels of infinity,
       Previously beyond our dreams.
          With angelical assistance
          As our needed sacred passport,
          All gifts of loving abundance
       Are extended from heaven’s scheme
    To manifest a tapestry
       Woven with threads of thoughts supreme
       Flowing from eternity’s stream.
