The One
```
The dust and ashes
Of fear and freud
Have been laid to rest
With fame and fortune

From a common grave
The ashes of time
And dust of Being
Will assemble to Birth
The ONE

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

Remember Not to Forget

The mountains have been moved.
There are cracks in the walls
Of personal and societal brick.
As the flower Terra grows,
Forming a perfect bud,
We see in its emergence
Living visions of a future
Mankind has always known.

Children of the Sun XII

If they are unwilling
Or unable to accept
The opportunity
Of the gift now offered
It will be presented
Again and yet again
As it has time after time
Following the agony
Of climbing back to face
Their current dilemma
And again be confronted
By the fear of losing
Individuality
In the ocean of Oneness

Today
```
Yellow dandelions
Dot a sea of green;
Walking in a field
As if in a dream.

A bird sings a love song
So new, so sweet,
Ushering in spring
As the sun warms
Your cold, bare feet.

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.

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.

Empty Garden

Yesterday, the thought, if imaginable,
Would have been quickly dismissed.
Yet today, I know and can feel
A complete Emptiness in my head;
And at this moment, begin to wonder
Whether I should attempt to fill it
With something new and meaningful.
