Sonnet to a Flyer

As we slowly leave the earth to ascend
Through clouds of our vision, toward infinity,
The heavens become our companion and friend.
Vast horizons unfold for eyes to see;
And while all of nature seems within reach,
Man’s miniature world begins to be dwarfed
By Creation’s splendor beyond all speech.
Behind us the sun sinks in shades of red;
Twilight brings the last quarter moon in view,
Darkness descends, stars winking into sight,
The Milky Way lightens the sky anew,
Flying east through the timelessness of night.
Light grows ahead, a new day being born;
With the sun we rise to heaven this morn.

I AM the Eighth Energetic
Located at the nexus point
Within the Cross of Creation
Now ready for You to Open

Find it   Know it and Realize
The One You are Destined to Be

Paths, I, ii

                  
We progress beyond thoughts of one
   Inwardly growing hand in hand.
   The sprouting seeds from ego’s hub
   Bring forth trees in desolate sand
To light the path beyond the sun.
   Together we greet the new day
      Outwardly radiant, and purge
      From self the demon Beelzebub.
      Thwarting greed and desires that surge
   We cleanse the soul, halting decay.
With death of selfish pride begun
   We don plumes in brilliant array
   Walking and old, yet newfound way.

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.

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.

The Stage of Life

THE STAGE OF LIFE

Emerging
Through a crack in the mask
Is Life’s full potential
Striving to break through
Beyond a persona
Wandering in shadows
To ultimately become
The One that I AM
When finally knowing
I AM One
With the ONE

A Dream

I am with Child
I sense its presence
I feel its movement
I know its thoughts

Finally I understand
The Cosmic Child is within me
Restlessly waiting to be Birthed
Into the Light of a New Day
