Birthing III

We have returned to the crossroads
Only to find all signs point Home

Again the choice is ours to make
Of hoping the Child is stillborn
Further delaying our journey
As we spin faster and faster
On the merry-go-round of life

Children of the Sun XIII
```
The solar family met
To hear the announcement
Of the long rumored birth
Of another child planet
In a not too distant
Future galactic time

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.

Epiphany on the Palouse – B. The Plea

Therefore, I petition the bored;
Referring to section seven,
First Amendment to the Second
Law of Diminishing Audience
To become a standing member
Or one sitting within sight of
The          Society        for		
The          Prevention     of
             Disabled
             Poets.

METAMORPHOSIS, 1989 - Second Edition NOW Available.

Metamorphosis

Halted during its slow journey to the other side,
A common turtle lay clumsily split in two.
His natural armor offered little protection
From Man’s four-wheel driven nightmare,
And he became just another unlisted casualty.

As the surging ocean’s unrelenting roar
Announces the arrival of land’s end,
A hummingbird prepares for birthing
By hurriedly picking dandelion seeds
To further warm her soon to be filled nest.

Truth
```
Look in the mirror
It will not lie.
Answer the question—
Look yourself
Square in the eye.

Look again,
What do you see?
Just a façade—
Not your identity.

Paths, 1978 - Second Edition NOW Available.
Collected - New, a collection of all of the poems in one book - Available January 2013.

Paths IA, vi

In contact with the Holy Choir
   Our Spirit’s intense fire rages
   To help ward off the earthly thoughts
   That have swallowed Man for ages
In the quicksands of mortal mire.
  When locked in Higher Truth’s domain
      We precipitate our soul’s reunion
      With our Spirit, and can pilot
      This newfound self’s total union.
   Becoming a link in His chain
Helps fulfill the Divine Desire
   For Humanity to regain
   The lost oneness of Eden’s reign.

To Steve Moore

One cannot be held
For his lack of consistency.
We must be free thinkers—
Always progressing.
And if at any point
We feel we know
The absolute Truth for everything,
We must
And have an obligation to
Write it down—
    And jump from a bridge,
    For our worth is done.
