Blue Rhythmic Hand

 

Handmade things –

Defined by imperfection

Seem Anomalies in the Machine Age

 

Handmade –

An accolade

Denoting Care and Devotion

 

Four hundred years ago

All was handmade –

Before Industrial Revolutions

 

Despite Scientific Materialism

Humans are not Machines

 

Into the handmade

Go Heart and Soul

Art – Artistry - Ancestry

 

One finds this yet in the Indigenous Ways

Let us honor Indigenous Ways.

White Overtone World-Bridger

 

There floats a Bridge

Between the Worlds -

Radiant with Golden Light

 

This shining Passage

Beckons us to move beyond

Duality and Third Dimension

 

Into Fourth and Fifth

Where Unity holds sway

And Life is Light

And Truth – the Way

 

Here Miracles are Natural

 Time and Space collapse

Into the Piercing Present –

 

Upon this sacred Crossing

Angels dance with us and sing

Our Bodies become bright

With brilliant feathered Wing.

Blue Lunar Night

 

Blue night falls

In sacred Silence

Trading Sunlight

For the dark Light of Dusk

 

The lunar Lamp calls

All to ponder

Life’s Meaning and Message –

The Soul’s Journey

 

The World displays

Ultimate Materialization –

Ready to Transform Involution

Into Evolution

 

The human Heart expands

So turns the Tide

Opening in Compassion

For every sentient Life.

White Magnetic Wind/ Cosmic Turtle Moon of Presence, Day 28

1 Ik

 

White Magnetic Wind

 

The Solar Wind

Turns Mars to red --

Sunburned - desiccated

Too hot - red hot

The death of Mars

Was meant to be

The death of War -

Mars being that god –

But Warfare with its infinite

Tragedies lives still

Here on Earth –

Deaf to the

Cautionary Tale told

By a dead, red Planet –

We inherit Martian Karma

We pay the debts

Of Maldek and Mars

Great is the Karma

Great is the debt

To the Dead

To the beloved Ones

To the Earth

Whose Tears are infinite

Whose Tears are the Salt Water Seas.

Red Cosmic Dragon

 

Make of me

A melody of Images –

The transcendent Word –

 

Make of me

A Messenger

Gathering Wisdom from the World –

Bestowing Beauty upon all

Whom I encounter

 

Make of my Life

A living Prayer 

Healing balm and Blessing

 

Fill my Time with Treasure

May Joy be my Garment

And Forgiveness my Goal

 

May Skywalkers explore

The vastness of my Heart –

The Mansions of my Soul.

Yellow Crystal Sun/ Cosmic Turtle Moon of Presence, Day 26

12 Ahau

Yellow Crystal Sun

The Crystal Sun

Has me undone

In sultry Waves

Of visible Heat

 

Long days

Do slowly fade

To violet Dusk

Without a Breath

 

Even the evening breeze

Hangs back and waits

Like an invisible Star

In a hazy Sky

 

The burning Fabric of Reality is torn –

Let us love until true Peace is born.

Blue Spectral Storm/ Cosmic Turtle Moon of Presence, Day 25

1 Cauac

Blue Spectral Storm

 

Thundering Rumbles!

Smack-down Drops –

Black Dimes on Concrete

 

Rain crawls

Through  Crevices

Slides down Walls

 

Roaring Bass Drums

Lightning - fast Flashes

Cloud Serpent streaks –

 Shots in the Dark!

 

Finally –

 

Sky War Truce...

 

Suddenly –

Sun!

7/20/2021 White Planetary Mirror/ Cosmic Turtle Moon of Presence, Day 23

10 Etznab

 

White Planetary Mirror

 

Murdered was my Soul –

Surgically

Methodically

Intentionally  

In infancy

Ignored –

Or given deadly

Double Meanings

 

By five

I was wise

Well beyond my Years

Thoroughly repressed

Utterly depressed

It got much worse –

Needle Tracks

Insults – Incest – Neglect

Not – so – veiled References

To my horrendous Imperfections –

There was no pleasing

No appeasing

No Approval

In their Eyes

I fail

In all Ways –

Red Solar Earth/ Cosmic Turtle Moon of Presence, Day 23

9 Caban

Red Solar Earth

 

In the Dead of Winter I was born –

The Sighs and Cries rang out for Days

And far into the frigid, crystal Nights –

I missed the New Year’s Day

Descending late – delaying

My Departure from a warm Womb

Into the cold, white World

 

In the Dead of Winter I was born

With black wet curly Hair

So overgrown and heavy

That “Monkey” or “Medusa” came to Mind

Little did I wish to go another Round on Earth

Or feel another mortal Wound –

My Eardrums failed to close

My Eyes so large and dark

Always saw nearsightedly

 

In the Dead of Winter I was born –

Life leapt up - dealing Death

A feisty Blow –

Brittle Bough and

Ice-filled Lake no Match for

Red hot Blood – the Will to be

A fresh young Heart

Making a small spring

In the Dead of winter.

Yellow Galactic Warrior/ Cosmic Turtle Moon of Presence, Day 22

 8 Cib

Yellow  Galactic Warrior

“Cinderella”

 

I mop and sweep

I dust and weep

I scour, scrub and fill the Pail

I polish the Knives and Spoons and Forks –

I’m thin and pale

From Overwork!

I wipe and wash

I dry and try

To turn my rough Hands soft

I clean and iron

I hustle and bustle

To chase the Dirt away –

I am tired and mired

In Cobwebs and Motes

Floating in vacuumed Air –

I clean the Silver

Hang out the Wash

I bleach and then

Reach for More –

I straighten the Rugs

And change the Sheets –

Fluffing and folding –

Keeping Mice at bay

Did I say Mice?

Hooray!

My Coach is on the way.

Such are the colors of Humankind

Such are the Cardinal Directions

Such are the Faces of the Wind

 

This Cosmology cures –

It is strong Medicine

Whereby all have Dignity

And each is heard

 

Red White Blue Yellow

Brothers – Sisters all

Denizens of the Medicine Wheel

Each is needed for all to Heal.
