Children of the Sun IV
```
The solar family
Then welcomed Mercury
Forcing the relocation
Of brothers and sisters
To the former orbits
Of their older siblings

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.

“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.

Come Walk With Me

Father told his son, and I learned:
Death is a process of Living.
But I did not then understand:
Death must also be permitted
To forever walk by our side
For Destiny to Manifest
Beyond this worn circular path
We have endlessly trudged for years.

In a not too distant
Future galactic time

Paths I, vii

The cherished balance eludes us
   As the scales tip from right to left;
   Again we are disoriented,
   Vacillation leaving us bereft.
This chosen path of exodus
   From a life of material gain
      Is often hazardously steep;
      Methodically it must be tread
      To avoid the bottomless deep.
   With balance finally regained
We gaze at the Light around us,
   And succumbing to total strain
   Sleepily greet the warm falling rain.

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.

“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.

“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.
