Paths IA, viii

The deep rooted totality
   Found inside each one’s heart center
   Can now spring forth without effort
   Toward new horizons, and enter
Lost levels of infinity,
   Previously beyond our dreams.
      With angelical assistance
      As our needed sacred passport,
      All gifts of loving abundance
   Are extended from heaven’s scheme
To manifest a tapestry
   Woven with threads of thoughts supreme
   Flowing from eternity’s stream.

Epiphany on the Palouse – C. The Oath

I promise to solemnly wear
The Joe Friday Only the Facts
Badge number seven fourteen,
With mirror, as a reminder
Of when Mussolini Jones read
From the Temple balcony:
Discovering that Poet & Audience
Were not only One,
But the same One.  Death to Poetry!
Became Birth of the Second Law,
And the NonPoetry Movement.

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

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:

Insects and birds sing
An autumnal opera
On Afton Mountain

Passionate in the moment
With no thought for tomorrow

“Lay your pseudo self”

Lay your pseudo self       
On the pyre of worldly ambition,
Releasing it into the illusory world
Of its own creation,
And become consumed 
In the Phoenix Flame
Of your True Being;
Allowing its Reality to Become.

The chilling vision
Shows seasons turned up side down
And peace into war

If the voters authorize
The current coup d’etat
