Yellow Magnetic Warrior/ Spectral Serpent Moon of Liberation, Day 3




 1 Cib 

 

Yellow Magnetic Warrior

  

You slew the Messenger---

You killed the Angel

For her Light---

 

My Love---

When most I needed you

You murdered me

Outright.

Blue Cosmic Eagle/ Spectral Serpent Moon of Liberation, Day 2


 


13 Men


 

Blue Cosmic Eagle


Beneath an

Earthen Crust

In Gaia's Nest

A Serpent turns---

Languorously undulating

Among Blossoms infinite---

The Flowers of all Nations---

 

She knows her Self

Sacred yet vilified---

Wise Mediator

Between Heart of Earth---

And Heart of Sky

 

Her Form---

Eternally re-born 

Among deep Roots

Of the great World Tree---

 

When Opposites meet

Marry and merge

Power becomes Lightning---

Where Scales once lay

Now Eagle’s Wings

 Ascend instead.

White Crystal Wizard/ Spectral Serpent Moon of Liberation, Day 1


 

12 Ix

 

White Crystal Wizard

 

Ancient Stones

Initialed

With Lichen

And Moss

Mark the Passage---

 

Nature sculpts

A Testament

Bequeathing Color---

Changing Hue

On Ivy

                                                             And ancient Wood---

 

Toadstools sit

Haphazardly and violet

In the Musk

As I wander in the Graveyard

Through an autumn Dusk.

Red Spectral Skywalker/ Planetary Dog Moon of Manifestation, Day 28



11 Ben


Red Spectral Skywalker

 

We escaped!

From City to Desert Wilderness

We escaped!

From blaring Cacophony

To Silence and Birdsong---

Sweet Liberation---

 

With Eyes clear as Glass

I see blue Mountains---

Now I am calm while

 Tall Trees rustle

 In the turquoise Dusk---

Now I am quiet

Like the Night.

Yellow Planetary Human/ Planetary Dog Moon of Manifestation, Day 27



10 Eb


Yellow Planetary Human

 

Up came I from the border Towns –

Texas towns of Wind and Heat

 Dust unto Dust

 

Up drove I from a Valley of Death –

Border Patrols – screaming Sirens –

Burly men searching for “Wetbacks”

 

Crossing the Rio Grande –

Swimming for their Lives and Children

Braving Cold – Darkness – Nets - Death

 

Cops everywhere in those Texas Towns –

Armed and dangerous Vigilantes

Looking to find a Reason to kill

 

Small brown People

Gentle and proud

With Hope greater than Fear –

 Nothing to lose

 

Up drove I through ghost Town after Town

From Palm to Mesquite –

North came I when Night descended

Looking for Shelter – none to be had –

 

Every Lad from the Oil Fields

With pockets full of Cash

Filled every Space – sold out – locked down

No Room att the Inn for

Brave brown People or me.

Blue Solar Monkey/ Planetary Dog Moon of Manifestation, Day 26


 

9 Chuen

 

Blue Solar Monkey

 

Amid the glossy Steel and engine’s Roar

I saw his Eyes point blank –

 

Blue like Skies---Jay’s Wing -- Ocean Water

In the Sun that set as we flew north

From Warmth, carried on a soft Wind

 

We sat in antiseptic Splendor

On a Plane of Strangers---

In Time we broke the sound Barrier---

Decided that we’d found

Too much to speak of to let go –

 

“No”---suspend the Night and Day

Escape from Pain, seek Peace, delay

Your Flight and stay with me---

I heard his Plea

Asking that I change my Course

Rearrange my Night and Day

For him

 

I uttered my Reply

Dared not deny myself the Instinct

Too long held captive, Wings clipped –

Not allowed to fly--- 

 

The Jewel of that March Night

Shimmered with our Heat and Light –

Our Bodies fused---

Desire keenly felt

And tightly wrapped around us

 

Is this my Fate---

My Destiny incarnate?

Bronze Strength---blue Fire

Cool green Mountain Shade

On white hot Desert Sand

 

My dear One---

My Atlanta one Night Stand.

White Galactic Dog/ Planetary Dog Moon of Manifestation, Day 25


 

8 Oc

 

White Galactic Dog 

 

How do I tell thee of my Love?

Are Verses sung in Tune enough

To move you beyond moving?

 

Shall I paint a Portrait of Affection

Reflecting deep Enchantment?

 

My Affection turns Affliction---

Its Weight is heavy on my Heart

 

 Fear battles Hope

That in the Telling I will see

 

Acceptance---willingness

To love me in Return---

 

Fear locks the Gates of Love

 Faith alone holds fast the Key.
