    “Living life”

    Living life
    In a dream of oneness for all.
    We touch with our heart
    While feeling with our soul,
    For we are together
    On the cold and long road
    Of our dreams.

    Dream Fragment 11

    Between blanket and moon
    Exhausted stars vibrate
    On this excited flesh
    Burning over passion
    Fulfilled and expectant
    Sensing an angel’s touch
    From digits descending
    Through heavens reflection
    
    Continue to "July Morning"

    Borning Prayer

    Mother-Father
    Blessed Universal Presence
    Residing in the Eternal Now
    Let your Presence be Known
    Within this physical vehicle
    Purifying and aligning
    The seven energy centers
    In each and every one of its bodies
    Lighting the Vertical Pathway
    Firing the Cross of Creation (more…)

    Nineteen Ninety One, May Day IV

                           IV
    The Storm’s unseen terror has finally abated,
    Yet chill winds still blow around the planet.
    Except prayers to a savior arriving in the clouds
    Or a welcome to beings from distant galaxies,
    Jingoism’s omnipresent message
    Offers little, if any, forum for earthly appeal,
    Condemning unbelievers in peace through strength,
    And peacekeeper weapons of mass destruction
    To peeking at the future from assigned ratholes.

    Immaculate Conception III

    Undivided    Unconditioned
    Incorruptible Light pulses
    Through a possible Future Age
    Into the timelessness of Now
    To nourish the Child and its host
    As they both rapidly mature
    Through transformational stages
    To ultimately coexist
    In the Oneness of Cosmic Man

    Children of the Sun VII

    Spinning and wobbling
    Through long days and nights
    Mother Earth shudders
    As her passengers
    Travel the rutted roads
    Of emerging thought

    “Relationships change”

    Relationships change
    Between student and teacher
    When autumn transforms
    
    Green to gold departing leaves
    Feeding the earth      Becoming

    Epiphany on the Palouse – E. Education

    While doing research for my new book,
    THE METEORIC RISE
    OF THE THIRD RIGHT SANS GRAVITY,
    Subtitled, “The Magma Farta
    Of the Third Millennium,”
    I had to acknowledge that Rush
    Must be right:  Millions and millions
    Of lemmings can’t all be wrong headed
    Wrong headed.

    In Praise of Living

    I have awaited the moment
    When you honestly thought of Living
    And not dying before your time.
    That this idea bloomed in winter
    With no trace of snow on the ground,
    Or small patches of blue sky seen
    Through the purgatorial grey,
    Is the bold action possible
    Only when days become windows.
