Nasturtiums slow dance
In the soft summer breezes
To Nature’s rhythms

Pulsing through the Milky Way
And stones on the garden path

“Learning is quite simple”
```
Learning is quite simple—
When you
Slip through the reef
Of despair
And the barriers
Of fear.

To the dimensionless center
Of his expanding consciousness

“The black walnut tree”

The black walnut tree
Stands in majestic silence
Awaiting winter

Knowing that the falling leaves
Protect its fallen seed fruit

He continued with the story
Of his latest business venture,
At times interspersed with phone calls
Or news of family and friends.

Paths, I, ii

                  
We progress beyond thoughts of one
   Inwardly growing hand in hand.
   The sprouting seeds from ego’s hub
   Bring forth trees in desolate sand
To light the path beyond the sun.
   Together we greet the new day
      Outwardly radiant, and purge
      From self the demon Beelzebub.
      Thwarting greed and desires that surge
   We cleanse the soul, halting decay.
With death of selfish pride begun
   We don plumes in brilliant array
   Walking and old, yet newfound way.

“Once Again”
```
Once again;
        Back to the hub,
        Back to the center.

Drop all pretense,
Remove those masks.

Take a look in the mirror;
        Honestly,
        Nakedly.
