And All the King’s Men

We have finally passed the point of no return,
And during transition from fragile order
To the Chaos we invited into being,
Persistent Decay is all that can exist. . .

   But, with blinders intact,
      We see it not;
   From positions of power,
      We hear it not;
         Yet, we know. . .

May I Say We

There is but little to say—
     The cup from which I drink
     And is me
  	Is emptying. . .
     The last drops evaporate
     While the remaining residue
     Awaits cleansing.

Paths IA, v

The veils of Truth quickly unfold
   When the pure core of faith within
   Is freed from the smothering walls
   That have kept our Real Self hidden.
Absorbed with Truth’s Light, our foothold
   Presently strengthens us this day
      For any temptations ahead
      That could precipitate a fall
      From the path of awareness we tread.
   With the ascent well underway
The occulted knowledge is told
   To all those immersed in Love’s ray
   To continue their Divine Way.

“White caps appear between the grey”

White caps appear between the grey
Of the free and angry sea,
As I stand with hands pocket deep
Tasting the salt spray on my lips.

Wind blown tresses cover my face.
Whisking them away
I feel the flame of your presence;
Turning I meet your ambient eyes
And again I’m warm with you near.

“As long as”
```
As long as
We keep telling
Ourselves
    Love and Compassion
Are idealistic—
They will remain such.

Wedding Vows

Let us not talk about Love,
       Except for all Living Things.
Let us not speak of Marriage,
       Except to the Ideals of Peace
       And Freedom for All.
Let us not desire commitment,
       Except to One Earth.

Immaculate Conception V

As motion finally finds rest
The Golden Spheres of Liquid Light
Begin weaving a chrysalis
To encase the Child and its host
In a protective envelope
Creating an environment
For the expanding Consciousness
To attain OctoAwareness
Being in perfect Harmony
With the Universal Heartbeat
Of the emerging Cosmic Age

Children of the Sun VIII

Suddenly emboldened
By the right to deny
Their internal essence
They build institutions
To enhance existence
And begin to bask
In the addictive glow
Of a material comfort
Sustained for the greater
By the labor of the lesser

Paths II, vi
```
Revolution can be
The destructive process
Which will begin ending
Darkness’ fearful night
And show life’s direction
Toward cherished paths of Light.
