Well Traveled Road

You tell me
That by walking the same road,
You see more each time.
Possibly. . .
Minute details appear
That your mind was unable
To comprehend the first,
Second or third time.
But does that logically erase
The possibility of another route?
I wonder what an alternate path
Has to offer?

Paths I, iv

             
Love of one can be a vacuum,
   An entangled web zealously spun
   That locks into the narrow sphere
   The unity that is illusion.
When the union grows we resume
   Our direction and walk not crawl
      Up the path to find light of day;
      The million sounds that reach our ear
      Tell of new molds to semi-fired clay.
   In the wind seeds randomly fall
Manifesting flowers in bloom. . .
   Our feelings shared in one and all
   Is the growth toward Love Universal.

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.

Paths I, i

                 
I leave the world of thoughts supine!
   To see the twilight of desire
   Mirrored in the changed face I meet
   Helps reduce the heat of passion’s fire
While dwelling anew beyond time
   In a vision’s view of beauty rare.
      Through infant eyes of clarity
      The virgin worlds of this life, greet
      All past reflections placidly;
   Ascending new heights on the stair,
Come to rest at the balance line
   Between minds laid openly bare
   And mature fetters of dead despair.

Pear Blossoms

A chickadee messenger warns
Of grosbeaks waiting by the feeder
In a hypothermic daze.
Late April.  Wind, rain, sleet and hail
Hasten the daffodils demise.
Now, tulips are reluctant,
Oriental poppies terrified.

With seed and wood in short supply
I try to calculate the number
Of times the hourglass must be turned
Before the pear blossoms appear.

The Stage of Life

THE STAGE OF LIFE

Emerging
Through a crack in the mask
Is Life’s full potential
Striving to break through
Beyond a persona
Wandering in shadows
To ultimately become
The One that I AM
When finally knowing
I AM One
With the ONE

Paths IA, x

A wedding of diverse forces
   Within the newly evolved Man
   Creates an everlasting fire
   Where the flickering flame began.
Our journey’s return to the source
   Is often difficultly slow;
      Becoming heaven’s instrument
      We soon lose our earthly desire,
      While donning the sacred garment
   Of His ever eternal flow.
Once on the straight and narrow course
   The Man Divine must surely grow
   From celestial embryo.

Paths II, vi
```
Revolution can be
The destructive process
Which will begin ending
Darkness’ fearful night
And show life’s direction
Toward cherished paths of Light.
