Reenter the Closet of Thought;
Sift through the forgotten debris
Left during many years of life,
And locate that special item
Buried somewhere on the Dream Shelf.

Through Pisces to Aquarius VI

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

I wanted to mention the awe
Of first seeing the northern lights
And their frenzied undulations;
At times covering the night sky
With many wild, breathing colors;

Through Pisces to Aquarius V

                V
Ones and zeros.  Zeros and ones.
In proper combinations,
Our loved ones become the graphics
On ever faster computer screens.
All problems can be solved with more
Available information;
Efficiency becomes the key 
To a positive bottom line.
Compute more data.  Garbage in,
More garbage out, up, down, around.

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.

Through Pisces to Aquarius VII

           VII
Techutopia promises
Love that can only emanate
From the mind and not from the soul.
This love of things or position
Is pornography from the dead
To a dying humanity.
The new scriptural messages,
Read from the pulpits of the church
Of our perpetual progress,
Are broadcast through the media
All day and night, all night and day.

“I want to taste your love”

I want to taste your love
As together we become one
In the warmth and security
Of each other’s arms and bodies.

While two days will be eternal to us
We shall experience all in total.

All will end, but only in time’s scope,
For it will remain forever in our hearts
And minds as we pass beyond time.

“Other scavengers pluck her tail feathers”

Other scavengers pluck her tail feathers,
Limiting the Eagle’s mobility and power.
One by one the feathers are taken
Making flight practically impossible.

Paths II, i

Falling from divine grace
We forfeit our higher goal
To the self centered wheel
Which still cyclically spins
In utter ignorance
Of paths to awareness.

Epiphany on the Palouse – A. Testimonial

The road to disability began
When Mensa disallowed my score
Of one hundred and ninety seven;
Discovering the redundant
Rhyme scheme answers:
A BAD CEED CA B
On major sections of the nineteen
Sixty seven IQ exam.
