The Promise

As a constant reminder		
I taped a yellow
And a blue crocus
To the inside of my head

Sonnet to a Flyer

As we slowly leave the earth to ascend
Through clouds of our vision, toward infinity,
The heavens become our companion and friend.
Vast horizons unfold for eyes to see;
And while all of nature seems within reach,
Man’s miniature world begins to be dwarfed
By Creation’s splendor beyond all speech.
Behind us the sun sinks in shades of red;
Twilight brings the last quarter moon in view,
Darkness descends, stars winking into sight,
The Milky Way lightens the sky anew,
Flying east through the timelessness of night.
Light grows ahead, a new day being born;
With the sun we rise to heaven this morn.

Untitled April
```
Moon and cherry tree
Together in bloom,
Full.  Moon and blossoms
Waning in light winds,
Fall.  Pieces of white
Drop, softly caressing
Sacred ground.  Beneath

Dream Fragment 5

Smartly dressed in red and black
The ants climb the green stalks
Slowly circling and circling
To coax a tightly wrapped bud
Open for the hidden pink
Gift of a peony sun
Rising over the green mountain
Of my flowering mind

Children of the Sun XV
```
The ongoing journey
That initially began
In the static Mind
And imagination
Of the ONE
Continues for aeons
Through the agony
Of separateness
To ultimately return
To the ONE

Crutches
```
We all have crutches,
It would be a lie to deny it.

We must therefore decide
Which are needed to keep Man
On this side,
Just above the line
Between we and animals.

At Home in Hope

Inside a dream 
       Images and faces
       Melt into Oneness

Sunrise touches the lake
Shadows disappear
The mountains admire
      Their own reflection
While nasturtiums slow dance
      To silent and soft breezes

The One
```
The dust and ashes
Of fear and freud
Have been laid to rest
With fame and fortune

From a common grave
The ashes of time
And dust of Being
Will assemble to Birth
The ONE
