    “Tomorrow – a new day”

    Tomorrow—a new day
    To be dealt with as we will.
    
    A new life’s door is before us,
    Yet we open yesterdoor
    Without thought
    In the habit of our ways.

    Night of the Living

    Waking late from the living death,
    I ran naked through moonlit fields.
    A barefoot bath in morning dew
    Reminded me:  I am Alive,
    And not bound by the common dream.
    
    Do not hide behind distant cloud
    Or slip past the dark horizon,
    But return, Mother moon of night,
    To hear my lonely song rising
    From the shadowed valley of sleep.

    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.

    Birthing I

    The soul seed of Humanity
    Has sprouted reaching for the Light
    Carrying with it the promised
    Transitional shift into
    The OctoVibrational Field

    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.

    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

    Wedding Vows

    Let us not talk about Love,
           Except for all Living Things.
    Let us not speak of Marriage,
           Except to the Ideals of Peace
           And Freedom for All.
    Let us not desire commitment,
           Except to One Earth.
