Paths IA, xi

During the early budding years
   The Holy Spirit will descend
   To live in the sacred temple,
   Becoming advisor and friend.
When Heaven’s voice pierces the ear,
   Our Inner Peace gathers the might
      To pass all of temptation’s tests;
      For in the speaking of His Will
      We help establish the conquest
   Of evil’s all engulfing fright.
With the Kingdom of Heaven near
   His ever radiant Light
   Produces wings for the coming flight.

Nineteen Ninety One, May Day V

                     V
Shattered and scattered:
Our Founding Fathers have suffered another death.
Their dusty bones can be heard rattling throughout
The late twentieth century democracy
That allows science and technology to run amok,
Finally destroying any recognition of their Dream.

Faces of the City

Blankly walking the shadowed streets
Where this world and that too often meet,
A feeling of Truth’s impassioned rage
Suddenly jolts and jars the bars
Surrounding the serenely caged.

Cracked pavement lines the faces
Groping for any reality
Which produces ways to end
These sleepless nights and wakeful days.

A Prodigal Poet’s Plea

O Muse, are you here?  I traveled
Many miles to you.  On bended
Knees I beg forgiveness.  No more
Phone calls or letters written.  No
Distance between us.  Together
We can quickly cross frozen ground
And safely return to our home 
Before darkness leads us astray.

Atlantis Revisited
```
All these deluded attempts
To dwell, either in past
Or future illusory times
Of lives importantly lived
Only fill diviners’ coffers.

Epiphany on the Palouse – E. Education

While doing research for my new book,
THE METEORIC RISE
OF THE THIRD RIGHT SANS GRAVITY,
Subtitled, “The Magma Farta
Of the Third Millennium,”
I had to acknowledge that Rush
Must be right:  Millions and millions
Of lemmings can’t all be wrong headed
Wrong headed.

The Prophetic Wind

Children of the Barbarian:
Your days may seem without number,
But can be counted nonetheless.
By worshipping gods of progress
Your essence has been forsaken.
When this Truth is comprehended
The sudden, outraged reaction
Will not halt the polluted flow
Of your futureless future dream.

First Snow

Unable to find restful sleep
I quickly open the closed blinds
And await the season’s first snow
With youthful anticipation.

This morning one reluctant leaf
Barely clings to the cherry tree
As it gently sways to north winds
Blowing Snow in and Autumn out.
