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.

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

Dream Fragment 33

He disengaged hands
Feet from cross and nails
Easing pain down to the floor
Stumbling stretching walking
Through chapel doors down steps
Merging with the swirling snow
And scurrying Christmas crowd
Shopping up down Main Street

“Learning is quite simple”
```
Learning is quite simple—
When you
Slip through the reef
Of despair
And the barriers
Of fear.

    Only to feel
    Your existence
    And presence.

Paths I, iv

             
Love of one can be a vacuum,
   An entangled web zealously spun
   That locks into the narrow sphere
   The unity that is illusion.
When the union grows we resume
   Our direction and walk not crawl
      Up the path to find light of day;
      The million sounds that reach our ear
      Tell of new molds to semi-fired clay.
   In the wind seeds randomly fall
Manifesting flowers in bloom. . .
   Our feelings shared in one and all
   Is the growth toward Love Universal.

Remember the Love

Cherish all the tender warmth
Of small, thoughtful considerations
Shared in moments of joy and sorrow.
Acknowledge the good times,
Yet be thankful for overcoming the bad,
Always seeking extended periods
Of Peace and Serenity.

New Year’s Eve – SwanSong

       SwanSong


Out of the grey sky lake
The six joined by two
Appear near the islands
Flying   Not ducks   not geese
Eight     Winging in a line
Tip to wingtip at eye level

Contact with one     Recognition
Then connection with the gliding
White feathering Swans approaching
The shoreline and my doorstep

Of Two
```
Windy is the night.
The storms of passion
Turned out the lights
And the love and the dreams
Of Two.

Grey clouds cover all
In their world
As the rains fall,
Streaming down the cheeks
Of Two.
