Through Pisces to Aquarius IX

                IX
Modern day Luddite warriors,
Fight not for the jobs you have lost.
Tune out, unplug, and awaken
From the techutopian dream
To join battle late in the day
For the Soul of Humanity.

Begin the painful deprogramming
To find the Balance
Necessary to recognize Truth

Every Day
```
Live every day,
May it be your last.
Love every winging bird,
Every blade of grass.

The rain from the heavens,
The warmth of the sun;
Breathe and touch all life
With Love and Affection
Till your day is done.

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

Night of the Living

Waking late from the living death,
I ran naked through moonlit fields.
A barefoot bath in morning dew
Reminded me:  I am Alive,
And not bound by the common dream.

Do not hide behind distant cloud
Or slip past the dark horizon,
But return, Mother moon of night,
To hear my lonely song rising
From the shadowed valley of sleep.

From an Oak Tree
```
For long hours	Dreaming
Resting      Back to trunk
Enraptured
By sturdy limbs
Carrying seeds
For future generations

Today – Tomorrow

   Today

Can I totally relate
    My inner feelings
    And experiences
To You?

I think not,
But I must try. . . .

Groundhog Day

Who can distinguish night from day
In the twilight of history?
Does this dull light signal nights end,
Or only the last light of day?

Some believe the sun will soon rise
To reverse the flow of darkness,
While others hear the dying screams
Of their Destiny Manifest.

The Swinging Pendulum

When the fairy tale finally ends
Our dreams become discordant
And we find ourselves wandering
Nakedly alone through the nightmare
Of knowingly created Existence.

We return guilt ridden to one hour Sundays
And sing with mechanistic certitude
The songs rotely learned as absolute,
Further atrophying our Essence,
While rejoicing at being saved
From ourselves.
