Paths III

Entering His Heavenly Mansion
On Ascension’s lifted wings of Light
We learn of our newly appointed duty
In the ever eternal fight,
And manifest the Kingdom’s beauty
By sowing Man’s Divine Perfection
With Universal Mind, Will and Love,
So all may reap the Resurrection
To our Life’s Immortal plane above.

The doormat awaits your step

Hippo Rock

Another wave washes 
The Hippo clean
Of perching shore birds

Overhead the seasonal wave
Of migrating ducks and geese
Struggle to reorganize
Their disintegrating formations
In the erratic April breezes

“Help is coming”
```
Help is coming—
It is in your mind
If you stop your games
And find the time.

And if you look
You still can see
Your non-existence
Must cease to be.

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.

Greetings

At last!  Blue sky on the horizon,
Or is it another approaching storm?
It’s getting harder and harder to tell.
        Is that snow drifting,
        Or cherry blossoms carried
        In the wind of life’s passing?
And who really knows if it’s winter,
        Spring, summer or fall?

All substance seems forever lost
In these short notes seldom written;
        And once more, out of touch,
        Lost in, or out of time,
This reflection takes a deep breath
And gathers the strength to continue
Its purgatorial existence
As merely a shadow of itself.

Wedding Vows

Let us not talk about Love,
       Except for all Living Things.
Let us not speak of Marriage,
       Except to the Ideals of Peace
       And Freedom for All.
Let us not desire commitment,
       Except to One Earth.

A Reminder

While watching for signs that confirm
The birthing process has begun
Those who chose to return again
For personal transformation
Soon remember their commitment
To not only be a witness
During the coming transition
But also to be of assistance
To any and all on the Way
Out of the dark   Into the Light

To Her
```
I fondle you 
In my mind
    Only to feel
    Your existence
    And presence.
