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.

From the Center of Being I

Centering each and every thing
From winging bird or grain of sand
To the largest galactic sun
Is an invisible point of Light
Connecting and communicating
With every other point of Light
Throughout the entire universe

```
The lone house watches
Summer residents depart
The October chill

Awaiting winter solstice
And hibernating Nature

Through Pisces to Aquarius III

             III
The seeds of empty promises
Soon sprout a shallow happiness
That flowers as despairing rage
In those benefiting the least
From material convenience.
Cities violently erupt,
Becoming harbingers of fear
That quickly spread throughout the land.

Through Pisces to Aquarius IV

                    IV
We both knew it had been some years
Since we spent much time together.
There were many stories to tell
And so few hours to get all said;
Yet I wanted to share my joy
Of living near mountains and lakes:

Through Pisces to Aquarius IX

                IX
Modern day Luddite warriors,
Fight not for the jobs you have lost.
Tune out, unplug, and awaken
From the techutopian dream
To join battle late in the day
For the Soul of Humanity.

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

Paths II, iv
```
Banners of prejudice
Maliciously declare
The misdirected depths
To which we have fallen;
Soon foregoing hope
Of peaceful unity.
