Truth
```
Look in the mirror
It will not lie.
Answer the question—
Look yourself
Square in the eye.

Look again,
What do you see?
Just a façade—
Not your identity.

At Home in Hope

Inside a dream 
       Images and faces
       Melt into Oneness

Sunrise touches the lake
Shadows disappear
The mountains admire
      Their own reflection
While nasturtiums slow dance
      To silent and soft breezes

Paths I, i

                 
I leave the world of thoughts supine!
   To see the twilight of desire
   Mirrored in the changed face I meet
   Helps reduce the heat of passion’s fire
While dwelling anew beyond time
   In a vision’s view of beauty rare.
      Through infant eyes of clarity
      The virgin worlds of this life, greet
      All past reflections placidly;
   Ascending new heights on the stair,
Come to rest at the balance line
   Between minds laid openly bare
   And mature fetters of dead despair.

Driftwood Daydream

Fifty-seven winters
I have perched on this coast,
To watch the tide rise up
Only to fall again.
I gawk at you bipeds
Gawking at me in awe,
When my outstretched wings touch
The distant horizon.

From the Center of Being II
```
When the inner Voice of Conscience
Began questioning Man’s actions
It redirected his attention
To the dimensionless center
Of his expanding consciousness

Nineteen Ninety One, May Day II

                  II
In agitated exhaustion, we come
Seeking Ocean’s restless rejuvenation.
During the wailing Pacific gales
Undertows and high, ripping tides
Reclaim real estate by the acre
In an attempt to provide safe haven
For some of this continent under siege.

To find the Balance
Necessary to recognize Truth
