Yellow Self-Existing Human/ Self-Existing Owl Moon of Form, Day 5



 

4 Eb

 

Yellow Self-Existing Human

  

You hold me---

My eyes close as I awaken

To Feelings found again

 

Love---Joy---Terror

Flood my Heart

Change is on the Wing---

 

From Innocent to Woman---

Psyche’s archetypal Journey

Hidden like a Flame beneath the Sea.

Blue Electric Monkey/ Self-Existing Owl Moon of Form, Day 4

 



3 Chuen

 

Blue Electric Monkey

Hymn to Polyhymnia*

 

Invade my Soul, dear One---

 

Transform my Heart and Mind---

 

Let neither Fear nor bastard Thought

 

Deceive or me unconscious find---

 

Disperse thy Self throughout my Self

 

Each Cell a fractal Entity

 

Of Quantum Grace---

 

Magnetic Field---

 

Celestial Deity.

 

 

*Polyhymnia: One of the nine Muses, goddesses of poetic inspiration, Polyhymnia serves as the Muse of sacred song.

White Lunar Dog/ Self-Existing Owl Moon of Form, Day 3

 


2 Ik

 

White Lunar  Dog


From Mansions

On the Moon

A second Impulse rises---

 

Emerging Grace

Holds Spirit’s Breath

 

Duality cloaks Reality

 Solid seeming – mostly Space

 

Where there was One

Now Two appear

 

 Time from Timelessness begins

Fractals split Infinity

Informing Form---

 

Inhale---Exhale

Male---Female

One from Two is born.

Red Magnetic Moon/ Self-Existing Owl Moon of Form, Day 2

 


1 Muluc

 

Red Magnetic Moon

 

I have stayed with you

And qualify, therefore, like Orpheus

To visit you in the Land of Death---

Your battered Defenses protect you still---

Hiding Grief and Pain unbearable

 

As you transform within a Cradle of Grace

I cover you as would an Angel---

With Love and sacred Wisdom

 

Your Wings are mere buds on your Spine---

Made supple by stretching and shivering

Like the hibernating Arctic Fox

 

In the winter of your Death

You reach for me, your Eskimo---

I dragged your screaming psyche

Into another Place---a warmer Space where

You might breathe again

 

I bear the ecstasy of Mysteries

Borne on the back of Agony---

The Price of Initiation.

Yellow Cosmic Star/ Self-Existing Owl Moon of Form, Day 1


13 Lamat  


Yellow Cosmic Star

 

Klotho*- spin your golden Thread

Upon the silver Star

At the Center of my Forehead---

 

Open wide my virgin Vein

With New Moon’s

Sickle/Scythe

 

Call forth my Poetry to arise

Like Pegasus** from Medusa***

Wingèd, beautiful, and wise.

 

 

 

*Klotho: The first of three Fates or Moirae in Greek myth; she spins the thread of life.

 

**Pegasus: A white, winged steed who sprang from the body of Medusa; patron of the Muses, goddesses of art and poetry.

 

*** Medusa: A queen of ancient Lydia whom the goddess Athena transformed into a serpent-haired Gorgon.

Blue Crystal Hand/ Electric Deer Moon of Service, Day 28

 


12 Manik

 

Blue Crystal Hand 

The winter lives

In Death’s apparent frozen Sleep---

Dreamless Days march one against another

Like Soldiers gone to Battle

Each fiercer than its Brother

 

Layered Depths of Frost

Upon a lifeless Tree

Assume the Chill of loneliness

In Nature’s vast Decree

Of Dormancy and cruel Duress

 

The Cycle of a Season’s Rest---

The Time when all Things lay

Beneath sweet sugared Snow

Which knows no Corner

Where it cannot go.
