White Overtone Wind/ Rhythmic Lizard Moon of Equality, Day 19

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 afar –

 

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.

Yellow Electric Sun/ Rhythmic Lizard Moon of Equality, Day 17

3 Ahau

 

Yellow Electric Sun

 

From Jasper come we –

Emerald Electricity

And Sapphires blue –

 

 Souls wanders 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 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.

White Magnetic Mirror/ Rhythmic Lizard Moon of Equality, Day 15

 

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.

13 Caban

 

 

 

Red Cosmic Earth

 

 

The blushing Earth

Turns shyly

From the Sun’s fierce Eye

At Dusk –

 

She spins through

Every Day and Night

Navigating

A rhythmic Equality

Of Seasons –

 

Patiently she organizes

Synchronic Evolution

Empowered by

The Universal Fire

Of Endurance

 

Under the birthing Power

Of the first Magnetic Moon.

Yellow Crystal Warrior

 

 

One need not travel far to Dreamland –

Let the Thread unwind

In 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 Slumber

 

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 –

The sleeping and the waking --

Tapestry and Language of the Night.

Blue Spectral Eagle/ Rhythmic Lizard Moon of Equality, Day 12

11 Men

Blue Spectral Eagle

 

When I hear your Voice

I hear the Bells

I always have

I always will

 

One Bell signals Happiness

My Heart fulfilled and blessed

 

A second rings with Joy –

The Song of a barefoot Boy

 

Then Exhilaration do I hear

And feel when you’re with me

 

Finally, the chime of Ecstasy –

The Bliss of a Soul set free.

10 Ix 

 

White Planetary Wizard

 

I will arise now

And fly unto 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 I will 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

 

Aaron, my Priest –

Prince of the desert

Aaron, my Almond Branch

Young, strong and fair.

12/22/2021 Red Solar Skywalker/ Rhythmic Lizard Moon of Equality, Day 10

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.

Yellow Galactic Human/ Rhythmic Lizard Moon of Equality, Day 9

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/ Rhythmic Lizard Moon of Equality, Day 8

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.

6 Oc

 

White Rhythmic Dog

 

I am conquered

Shorn of Pride and Prejudice

 

I am lost –

My Heart doth flee my Breast

 

I am thine

And thus cannot be lonely

 

My Thoughts would never rest

But rest upon Thee only

 

I am found

And love the Feeling well

 

I am bound

By Bonds of Heaven and Hell

 

For Heaven it is to greet thee

And Hell it is to leave thee

 

Thou art strong in Word and Deed

Yet gentle in thy Need

 

My Soul calls unto thee

In Poems wild and sweet

 

The Rhymes and Couplets meet

To keep us Company

 

Else could I not live

Until thou dost return to me

 

Holding fast my fragile Heart

With all its Love to give.

Red Overtone Moon/ Rhythmic Lizard Moon of Equality, Day 6

5 Muluc 

 

Red Overtone Moon

 

If only I could heal each Wound you own

And mend the Places where your Soul is torn

A silver Moonbeam I would sculpt and hone

That it might pierce the hardest Heart e’er born

A golden ray of Sunlight will I use

To thread my Quill with soothing Thoughts and Care

Every Rift and Ravel you will lose

To perfect Suture, excellent Repair

But Time alone has Tools to fare so well –

In my Power I do presume too much

Wishing that in wishing itself could dwell

A Magic only angels use and touch.

 

My hope is that a perfect Love and Time

Transform all Pain into Peace sublime.

Yellow Self-Existing Star/ Rhythmic Lizard Moon of Equality, Day 5

4 Lamat

  

Yellow Self-Existing Star      

  

Rising Moon –

You dazzle like

Another Sun

 

 Lift silently

Your silver Gown

Into a velvet Sky

 

 Stars hang

Faint and obscure

Before your Majesty

 

Time and Tide

Are Moon’s domain –

Her Beauty absolute

 

Lady of the evening Light –

Quiet Queen of Night.

Blue Electric Hand/ Rhythmic Lizard Moon of Equality, Day 4

 

3 Manik

 

Blue Electric Hand

  

As I looked down the Corridors of Time

Those Halls were empty, desolate and still

I’ve lived in every Century and Clime

Becoming what I wish and what I will

I traveled fast in search of something lost,

Forgotten since the Dawn of Time’s Rebirth

I could not name it nor of Knowledge boast,

Though I Redemption sensed and with it Mirth.

I saw then your Figure solitary,

Beckoning me from Futures not yet lived,

Your strong Embrace gave Sanctuary

From Fear and Death as soon as I believed.

 

I chose Faith and a Share in what is True

Love rescued me from Time when I found You.

White Lunar World-Bridger/ Rhythmic Lizard Moon of Equality, Day 3

2 Ik

 

White Lunar World-Bridger

From Mansions

On the Moon

A second Impulse rises –

 

Emerging Grace

Holds Spirit’s Breath

 

Duality cloaks Reality

 Solid seeming – mostly Space

 

Where once was One

Now Two appear

 

 Time from Timelessness begins

Fractals split Infinity

Informing Form –

 

Inhale – Exhale

Male – Female

One from Two is born.
