5 Manik
Blue Overtone Hand
How – why – and when
indeed
Does Love change into
Need?
The giving Hand goes
on the Take
The Heart grows dark
and cold
Once open Arms and
Eyes
Close to Possibility
and Passion –
Suspicion suspends
Belief
Trust steps out for
a Smoke
Neither Relief nor
Faith survive
The imminent Loss of
Hope.

MANIK
Kin 187: Blue Overtone Hand
I empower in order to know
Commanding healing
I seal the store of accomplishment
With the overtone tone of radiance
I am guided by the power of vision.
The Noogenesis, the Great Cosmic Shift, will be realized soon. It is dependent on the personal discovery of those capable of becoming cosmically aligned.*
