Paths I, xii

There came this man from Galilee
   Showing life’s direction with Love; 
   Some say he could walk on water,
   God’s emissary from above,
While in His name some charge a fee
   To purge others from mortal sin.
      He has been taken into battle,
      Worshipped from palace to gutter,
      And although the debates still rattle,
   His flame burns outside and within.
He points to Immortality
   With the Christ Consciousness to win. . .
   Our choice is fall, or to begin.

Paths IA, vii

At the river today we stand
   In newfound unity of life,
   Prepared to cross its rough waters,
   Leaving behind yin and yang’s strife
For Brahman’s universal hand.
   The initiates come ashore
      Greeted by the forces of Light
      And are given the Love scepter
      After Baptism’s holy right.
   The lessons of eternal splendor
Are taught by Masters from all lands
   To any ready to explore
   The Kingdom through Truth’s open door.

“Nasturtiums slow dance”

Nasturtiums slow dance
In the soft summer breezes
To Nature’s rhythms

Pulsing through the Milky Way
And stones on the garden path

Nineteen Ninety One, May Day III

                       III
Alternating between “God Bless America”
And “The Star Spangled Banner”,
The marching band leads the parade
Down Main Street at twelve thirty-five.
Waving flags and sporting yellow ribbons,
Almost the entire population participates;
Leaving a very small audience
To witness this Declaration
Of Independence from Freedom
And the birth of the New World Order.

Poppies

Peeking from protective pods,
We are poppies
Of indefinable Orange,
Radiant newborn suns
Opening these fragile petals
To explore, find and finally feel
Our Individual Uniqueness
At the Center
Of Being.

Epiphany on the Palouse – B. The Plea

Therefore, I petition the bored;
Referring to section seven,
First Amendment to the Second
Law of Diminishing Audience
To become a standing member
Or one sitting within sight of
The          Society        for		
The          Prevention     of
             Disabled
             Poets.

A Reminder

While watching for signs that confirm
The birthing process has begun
Those who chose to return again
For personal transformation
Soon remember their commitment
To not only be a witness
During the coming transition
But also to be of assistance
To any and all on the Way
Out of the dark   Into the Light

A Prodigal Poet’s Plea

O Muse, are you here?  I traveled
Many miles to you.  On bended
Knees I beg forgiveness.  No more
Phone calls or letters written.  No
Distance between us.  Together
We can quickly cross frozen ground
And safely return to our home 
Before darkness leads us astray.

Paths I, iii

                
Notice the solely unique in each,
   For the preciousness of every one
   Is special and rare, a beauty
   To behold in the noonday sun;
As pebbles along the shore reach
   Out, hoping to hear another call. . .
      An individual striving for name,
      To be part of the whole, yet free,
      Quite different though of the same.
   The unity shared before the fall
Is ours to feel, learn and teach. . .
   Seeing One in many, large in small,
   We grow to find the ALL in ALL.
