“White caps appear between the grey”

White caps appear between the grey
Of the free and angry sea,
As I stand with hands pocket deep
Tasting the salt spray on my lips.

Wind blown tresses cover my face.
Whisking them away
I feel the flame of your presence;
Turning I meet your ambient eyes
And again I’m warm with you near.

For Nani
```
Don’t postpone living
   Until another day,
For even darkness of night
   Can’t keep the dawn away.

Children of the Sun II
```
Many aeons ago
As the Sun birthed Venus
The molten planet Earth
Began to rapidly cool
As it found residence
In the humid orbit
Older brother Mars
Previously called home

The Child’s Bark

Lurking as a shark
Is the dog’s empty bark.
It has pierced your soul
For tis love she demands
Not gravy in the bowl.

She is not so unlike us
In many ways,
For like a child
In her innocence she plays.

May I Say We

There is but little to say—
     The cup from which I drink
     And is me
  	Is emptying. . .
     The last drops evaporate
     While the remaining residue
     Awaits cleansing.

Immaculate Conception I

The Idea of Cosmic Man
Carried within each soul at birth
Constantly reminds Consciousness
Of its duty to generate
Sufficient luminosity
To invite the Holy Spirit
For partnering in conceiving
The Celestial Embryo

The Fire of Desire

When finally in possession
Of the Fire and intense Desire
To Know who and what you are
And have Forever been
Then your innermost Being
And its empty spaces
Can begin to be filled
To overflowing
With the Light that is
The only Reality
That IS

“As long as”
```
As long as
We keep telling
Ourselves
    Love and Compassion
Are idealistic—
They will remain such.
