Children of the Sun XV
```
The ongoing journey
That initially began
In the static Mind
And imagination
Of the ONE
Continues for aeons
Through the agony
Of separateness
To ultimately return
To the ONE
```

Dream Fragment 5

Smartly dressed in red and black
The ants climb the green stalks
Slowly circling and circling
To coax a tightly wrapped bud
Open for the hidden pink
Gift of a peony sun
Rising over the green mountain
Of my flowering mind

For My Sons

While floating down the River of Life,
Do not allow yourself to be forever drawn
Along with the current of popular thought,
For it is not necessarily Truth.

Occasionally search the eddies and backwaters,
Sifting through the mud, sand and stone.
Rest often, alone, on its sun drenched bank,
Viewing the turbulent flow as one removed.

Kalaloch Midnight
```
Day and night, mist
Drizzle and fog.
The tide comes in,
The tide goes out.
Land.  Ocean.  Grey
Mirror images
Roaring, boiling
Raw, chattering
Minds to Silence.

Paths IA, viii

The deep rooted totality
   Found inside each one’s heart center
   Can now spring forth without effort
   Toward new horizons, and enter
Lost levels of infinity,
   Previously beyond our dreams.
      With angelical assistance
      As our needed sacred passport,
      All gifts of loving abundance
   Are extended from heaven’s scheme
To manifest a tapestry
   Woven with threads of thoughts supreme
   Flowing from eternity’s stream.

Paths I, x

The paths pitfalls are ever near
   Blinding direction’s future goal,
   For without flowing purity
   We greet the all engulfing hole
And don ego’s conquesting spear.
   We pause at the unmarked crossroads
      For our daily meditation
      And gain the strength and clarity
      Of heaven sent revelation,
   Purging dark forces that corrode.
All the question’s answers ring clear
   When each walking Love’s lighted road
   Lives according to the divine code.

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.

Paths IA, x

A wedding of diverse forces
   Within the newly evolved Man
   Creates an everlasting fire
   Where the flickering flame began.
Our journey’s return to the source
   Is often difficultly slow;
      Becoming heaven’s instrument
      We soon lose our earthly desire,
      While donning the sacred garment
   Of His ever eternal flow.
Once on the straight and narrow course
   The Man Divine must surely grow
   From celestial embryo.

Innocence Revisited

The crumbling of our protective walls
Leaves us standing innocently naked,
Opened to Love, vulnerable,
And immersed solely in the moment;
No yesterdays and no tomorrows,
Only the Indefinable, Eternal Now.

Feeling the flower grow,
We suddenly approach God,
Becoming One.
