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.

Come Walk With Me

Father told his son, and I learned:
Death is a process of Living.
But I did not then understand:
Death must also be permitted
To forever walk by our side
For Destiny to Manifest
Beyond this worn circular path
We have endlessly trudged for years.

“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.

New Year’s Eve – EvenSong

       EvenSong

Celebration     Contemplation
Transitions flame bonfire
Visions     pastPresentfuture

Overhead   South and West converge
Folding clouds at right angles
To screen the moon     Light
Increases shadows depth
Clarity penetrates midnight
Calmly birthing     Unease
       ---December 31, 1995

“We have been alone too long—“
From the book 10 to 17 February Afternoons
```
We have been alone too long---

Frustrations caused by our inability
     To communicate
          with each other
          And Nature
     Have pushed us
          Over the edge
          Of living
          And feeling life.
The importance of every
     Seed,
     Leaf,
     Branch,
     Limb,
     And Trunk,
     Of every tree,
     Seem often overlooked;
          For they are as
          Individually different
          As each and every
          One of us.

Through Pisces to Aquarius VI

               VI
He continued with the story
Of his latest business venture,
At times interspersed with phone calls
Or news of family and friends.

I wanted to mention the awe
Of first seeing the northern lights
And their frenzied undulations;
At times covering the night sky
With many wild, breathing colors;

Remember Not to Forget

The mountains have been moved.
There are cracks in the walls
Of personal and societal brick.
As the flower Terra grows,
Forming a perfect bud,
We see in its emergence
Living visions of a future
Mankind has always known.
