Prayer for the Living

Rushing, pushing and striving to obtain
Enlightenment and riches in an hour or a day,
Leaves us no time whatsoever to wait
For this Tree to grow tall and oak straight.

Our newly felled sapling becomes
Another very poor excuse
For some building material
Or long dead martyr’s sacred post.

“White caps appear between the grey”

White caps appear between the grey
Of the free and angry sea,
As I stand with hands pocket deep
Tasting the salt spray on my lips.

Wind blown tresses cover my face.
Whisking them away
I feel the flame of your presence;
Turning I meet your ambient eyes
And again I’m warm with you near.

“The Heavens appear”
```
The Heavens appear
As the cloud cover dissipates.

Full Moon
Rising in the valley
Of mountain peaks.
Light—
Reflecting on calm river.

Fog forms veils
On the valley floor—
Eerily midnight approaches;
April Full Moon.

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.

For My Sons

While floating down the River of Life,
Do not allow yourself to be forever drawn
Along with the current of popular thought,
For it is not necessarily Truth.

Occasionally search the eddies and backwaters,
Sifting through the mud, sand and stone.
Rest often, alone, on its sun drenched bank,
Viewing the turbulent flow as one removed.

Paths II, v
```
Hateful utterances
Express our bigotry;
As caught in the whirlwind
Thoughts of mass minds decay
We lose the direction
Of formerly trod ways.

Paths IA, iii

Become one with God in silence
   And the Light will forever shine
   To illumine each darkened day
   With knowledge of our gifts divine.
When immersed in His eternal presence
  The Life Immortal grows within,
      Opening formerly locked doors
      So as to view heaven’s stairway
      To existence forevermore.
   Love of God is the origin
Which sparks the needed diligence
   To find centered in His doctrine
   The divine flame which is our twin.
