That on the third planet
Few have been successful
Acquiring the knowledge
Necessary to live
As the enlightened ones
They will someday become

Candlelight (For Aldous Huxley)

Its flame is a unifying force,
Illuminating the once dark,
Giving dimension to technopomorphic entities,
Bringing light and undulating shadows
To once bleak walls.

It opens your eyes for you see,
It is your heart and soul,
For you feel and love
In your mind’s trance.
All known senses are keen
And the unknown seem within grasp.

“The Creative Castle contains”
```
The creative castle contains
Uncountable passageways
Leading to hallways
And unopened doors.
A random selection
Has been the key.

The treasure of life we’ll find
In lasting gifts of sight divine.

Insects and birds sing
An autumnal opera
On Afton Mountain

Passionate in the moment
With no thought for tomorrow

Self Portrait

Somehow caught in the sands of time,
Consonants and vowels still commingle
To slowly waltz across the page.
In fleeting glimpses of the Eternal,
This child prodigy of plus forty
Wanders the deserts day and night
Endlessly scratching black on white
In full dress rehearsal of Life.

With cold penetrating breath
Having been pushed to the edge
Will you reveal a chilling death?

Sandwich Existence

After wearily ascending the lighted stair,
An unconscious slamming of the opened gate
Awakens the dogs to nervously bark
At their master’s alien presence;
Babbling patronizingly,
While already warm and secure
Mentally, behind the closed door.
