White Solar World-Bridger/ Galactic Hawk Moon of Integrity, Day 22






White Solar World-Bridger


Sonnet IX

Thou art the Blessing of a too-kind god
When for a Partner did my Spirit cry
You see my Virtue where no Other would
While to my Faults you close a loving Eye
As I the Lyric write you play the Song
Melodies thus fashioned live forever
It’s true that to each other we belong
A Duet in tune – discordant never
A Separation makes our music still
Still meaning silent, yet continuing
No Power is as strong as true Love’s Will
Bold Instrument of Heaven’s designing

Faith has yielded what Desire could not do –
For I alone could ne’er imagine you.

2/26/2019 Yellow Resonant Seed/ Galactic Hawk Moon of Integrity, Day 20






7 Kan

Yellow Resonant Seed

I recall the Night Medusa came to me –
“All that has been, that is, and that shall be”
I stood in western Twilight -
Revelation filled my Soul
My Blood awoke in Ecstasy
With the Knowledge that – She IS!

Then I knew the triple Goddess –
Sacred Feminine Power
Disparaged, despised, forgotten
Feared, beheaded, left for dead –
Lives ON!
Not a creature hideous
But a Symbol glorious

Medusa –
Wise Mother of Mysteries
Derider of  Evil and  Ignominy –
Your Gaze destroys
Your Blood resurrects
From you spring Chrysaor of the golden Sword
And Pegasus, the white-winged Steed
Without whom would Poets thirst –
     Their Muses without Hippocrene.*

*Hippocrene: literally “fountain of the horse.”  When Pegasus kicked the side of Mount Helicon, abode of the Muses, water sprang forth to inspire them and slake their thirst.

2/25/2019 Blue Rhythmic Night/ Galactic Hawk Moon of Integrity, Day 19



6 Akbal

Blue Rhythmic Night


Up from the Depths
Through blue rhythmic Night –
An Abundance of Dreams

Symbols and Themes
Redolent with Archetype –
Signifying Treasure

Cherish these –
For numinous are they
And Sacred

With Energy enough
To render whole
A lost or broken Soul.

2/24/2019 White Overtone Wind/ Galactic Hawk Moon of Integrity, Day 18




5 Ik

White Overtone Wind
Psyche’s Song*

I lit the Lamp of Insight
I saw the God in you
A Spark – a sparkling Star
Beneath your hooded Eye -
In Fear you spread your Wings
To fly away –

Now I wonder and I wander
In Anguish and Despair –
Each Breath a mournful Cry
Are you gone forever?
Will you really let me die?

Or will you save me, Love,
From my riven Soul
And the existential Lie?



*Eros, the god of love, deserts Psyche, his lover when she looks upon him in the night. She has been forbidden to do so. Therefore, he flies back to his mother, Aphrodite, goddess of love. Psyche and Eros symbolize the inner feminine and masculine aspects of soul and consciousness which must be reconciled before psychological wholeness is achieved.

3 Ahau

Yellow Electric Sun

From Jasper come we –
Emerald Electricity
And Sapphires blue –

 Souls wander through
Stygian Darkness
Into the Wombs of Women

Spiraling Flight
Tumbles into Being
Pulsing in Time

As Above, So Below
 Spine holds the Code
From Root to Crown

Zodiacal Gates
Open to Symbol
Life after Life

Children of Light
Spin into Story – then –
To Story we Re-turn.

2/21/2019 Blue Lunar Storm/ Galactic Hawk Moon of Integrity, Day 15






2 Cauac

Blue Lunar Storm

I sacrificed the Sacrifice –
My Womb’s untrammeled and untried

Am I Virgin now
Or just worth Less?

I hear a distant Symphony
A Hymn of String and Drum –

I abide on the metaphysical Side
Full of wild Life –

A swirling whirling
Stormy Sea of Poetry

This is my Rebirth
And my Becoming –

My Atonement and Salvation
Raison d’être and Redemption.

2/20/2019 White Magnetic Mirror/ Galactic Hawk Moon of Integrity, Day 14





1 Etznab

White Magnetic Mirror

There is an Ocean by the Highlands
Second largest in the World
She ebbs and flows with Tides eternal
Reaching out with Waves unfurled

There is an Ocean by the Highlands
Atlantic she is called in our own Tongue
Yet she does sing in Tongues unnumbered
Songs for every Land and Old and Young

There is an Ocean by the Highlands
Laughing with the dancing Stars of Night
She captures all celestial Beams and Planets
Within her endless Matrices of Light

There is an Ocean by the Highlands
Kissing all the Shells upon the Shore
She stretches salty Arms around her Islands
As if to say she could not love them more

There is an Ocean by the Highlands
Between two Continents does she sit
Protecting all that lives beneath her Surface
Bearing to her Ports each noble Ship

There is an Ocean by the Highlands
She is the Stuff of Life and Lore
She beckons all with Swells unceasing
As Poseidon for his fair Athena roars.

2/18/2019 Yellow Crystal Warrior/ Galactic Hawk Moon of Integrity, Day 12





12 Cib

Yellow Crystal Warrior


One need not travel far to Dreamland –
Let the Thread unwind
To the Bottom of the Deep –
Close your Eyes – untie the Knot
And fall asleep

The Weaver will awaken
When you are unaware
Intertwining Dreams through
Layered Realms of Truth

Keep close these Shades remembered –
Disjointed – vague – dismembered
Starry Robes of Hypnos
Strewn with Sign and Symbol

Take the magic Carpet’s Flight
To the Markers and the Making
Of the sleeping and the waking
Tapestry and Language of the Night.

Blue Spectral Eagle

Each Bird on the Wing
Has a Song to sing

A  Poetry of Sailing
Over Land and Sea

 Sagas of Birth – Death
And ReBirth

Great Stories of Flight
Adventures in the Nest

Paragraphs on Patience
Epics on Air and Light

From the Hearts
Of Eagle and Ibis –

The Wonder of a perfect Egg
Enclosing self-sufficient Life

The Report of a Morning
When out from within

A Chick tumbles forth
New – Damp – Beloved –
Miraculous Beloved!

2/16/2019 White Planetary Wizard/ Galactic Hawk Moon of Integrity, Day 10





10 Ix 

White Planetary Wizard

I will arise now
And fly to Aaron
Fly to my Love
In the Desert night Air

Purple grapes will I bring
To feed him and Figs
Under the Moon
In the Desert night Sky

For him I will dance
Be-jeweled and Kohl-eyed
Entrance him will I
In the Desert night Air

I will anoint him
With Oils exotic
Soothing his Heart
In the sweet Desert Air

Unto Aaron will I fly
Under sparkling Stars
With Roses in my Hair
Through the Desert night Air 

I will read to him Verses
From the Poet’s wild Heart
Enchant him will I
'Neath the dark Desert Sky 
  
 Music drifts down –
Melodies sacred
Liquid and rare
On the Desert night Air

Aaron, my Priest –
Prince of the Desert
Aaron, my Almond Branch
Young, strong and fair

The music drifts down
Down from the Sky
Liquid and rare
In the desert night air

Aaron, my priest –
Prince of the desert
Aaron, my almond branch
Young, strong and fair.

2/15/2019 Red Solar Skywalker/ Galactic Hawk Moon of Integrity, Day 9






9 Ben


Red Solar Skywalker


The Mind beyond all Measure Power holds
Thought sends us into Heaven or to Hell
One long enclosed in Bars of Iron cold
When dreaming full escapes his prison Cell
Whence exists our Paradise eternal
Where Time and Space lose all significance?
By transmuting thoughts of Fear infernal
Into devotion’s transcendental Dance
Worth more is Vigilance than Sacrifice
Pre-requisite to Life miraculous
 Avoid all Fear while curbing Avarice
Thus will the Cosmos all your Missions bless

Dreams manifest in Synchronicity
When sacred Time designs Reality.

2/14/2019 Yellow Galactic Human/ Galactic Hawk Moon of Integrity, Day 8







8 Eb

Yellow Galactic Human

Long before…
Before I was (a) Being
I was just a Human Doing

 Being just a Doing
Moved me to Despair

In this State I met Inmates
All of us sad – all of us desperate

 Squirrels in a Cage –
Rats in a Maze

I knew not what to be or do –
How to escape – where to go

Finally surrendering all that I did
I went where I truly lived

Mind and Body are merely Tools
To build a Being worthy

Mind and Body make no Case –
Lock, Stock and Barrel
 I move into Grace!

Blue Resonant Monkey/ Galactic Hawk Moon of Integrity, Day 7






7 Chuen


Blue Resonant Monkey

Wherefore in the Center
When Primary
Becomes its Opposite –
Here lives Hecate
She of the Power of Words

Spirit of Crossroads
Deity of Intersections
Wise Woman Archetype
 Three-Kingdom’d Queen
Fairy Mother God

Here Crucifixion lives –
The Cross of third Dimension –
Illusion of limited Souls –
Body electric becomes
Alchemical Alembic
Water and Fire
Become Go(l)d

Resurrection supplants Death
Ascension signifies Hecate –
Divinity within
Denied, defamed and Herself –
Crucified.
