Nineteen Ninety One, May Day II

                  II
In agitated exhaustion, we come
Seeking Ocean’s restless rejuvenation.
During the wailing Pacific gales
Undertows and high, ripping tides
Reclaim real estate by the acre
In an attempt to provide safe haven
For some of this continent under siege.

Dream Fragment 28

I stood alone before the moon
Waning in the sun wondering
If my shadow would disappear
And then pulled the hands of the clock
From my pocket burying them
Under the rocks without number
While digging and planting this field

July Morning

Through the pink falling rain
The illusive catbird
Clearly calls me by name

Hanging from folded clouds
Rainbow fragments
Vanish     Reappear    
Then lengthen and double     
Brushstroking
The reflected mountains
To leave the lake awash
In kaleidoscopic color

“Help is coming”
```
Help is coming—
It is in your mind
If you stop your games
And find the time.

And if you look
You still can see
Your non-existence
Must cease to be.

Borning Prayer

Mother-Father
Blessed Universal Presence
Residing in the Eternal Now
Let your Presence be Known
Within this physical vehicle
Purifying and aligning
The seven energy centers
In each and every one of its bodies
Lighting the Vertical Pathway
Firing the Cross of Creation (more…)

Through Pisces to Aquarius III

             III
The seeds of empty promises
Soon sprout a shallow happiness
That flowers as despairing rage
In those benefiting the least
From material convenience.
Cities violently erupt,
Becoming harbingers of fear
That quickly spread throughout the land.

Autumn
```
I sit with autumn
Entering the prairie,
While spring is
Eternally reborn.

A tear momentarily
Distorts perspective
For departure
Looms on the horizon.
