Blue Rhythmic Hand/ Rhythmic Lizard Moon of Equality, Day 19

6 Manik

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

Everything was handmade –

Before Industrial Revolutions

 

Despite Scientific Materialism

Humans are not Machines

 

Into the handmade

Goes Heart and Soul

Art – Artistry - Ancestry

 

One finds this still in the Indigenous Ways

Let us honor the Indigenous Ways.

White Overtone World-Bridger/ Rhythmic Lizard Moon of Equality, Day 18

5 Cimi

 

White Overtone World-Bridger

 

On the Bridge

Between the Worlds --

Radiant with Golden Light

 

That shining Passage

Beckons us to move beyond

Duality and Third Dimension

 

Into Fourth and Fifth

Where Unity holds sway

 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 Light - bright

With brilliant feathered Wing.

Blue Lunar Night/ Rhythmic Lizard Moon of Equality, Day 15

2 Akbal

 

 

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

 

Human Hearts expand

So turns the Tide

Opening in Compassion

To every sentient Hand.

White Magnetic Wind/ Rhythmic Lizard Moon of Equality, Day 14

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 live on

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?

13 Imix

 

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 –

A 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/ Rhythmic Lizard Moon of Equality, Day 12

12 Ahau

Yellow Crystal Sun

The Crystal Sun

Undoes us all

In sultry Waves

Of visible Heat

 

Long days

Do slowly fall

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/ Rhythmic Lizard Moon of Equality, Day 11

 11 Cauac

Blue Spectral Storm

 

Thundering Rumbles!

Smackdown Drops –

Black Dimes on Concrete

 

Rain pours

Into Crevices --

Slides down Walls

 

Roaring Bass Drum

Lightning - fast Flashes

Cloud Serpent streaks –

 Shots in the Dark!

 

Finally – 

Sky War Truce...

 

Suddenly –

Sun!

White Planetary Mirror/ Rhythmic Lizard Moon of Equality, Day 10

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/ Rhythmic Lizard Moon of Equality, Day 9

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

I 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/ Rhythmic Lizard Moon of Equality, Day 8

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 make 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.

7 Men

 

Blue Resonant Eagle

 

Red White Blue Yellow

Such are the colors

Of the Medicine Wheel --

Such are the colors of Humankind

 

Red White Blue Yellow

East North West South

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 honored

 

Red White Blue Yellow

Brothers – Sisters all

Denizens of the Medicine Wheel

Each is needed for all to Heal.

6 Ix

White Rhythmic Wizard

(New York City Suite)

 

 A cacophony of Horns –

Movement – Motion

Rapid restless

Commerce –

 

Monument to Materialism

Temptation – Seduction

Greatness of Possibility

Possibility of Greatness --

 Choices – Changes

Losses – Gains

 

Solid -- Intense -- Gray

Concrete testimonies to Genius

Architecture – Fashion - Art

Finance – Efficiency – Economy

 

Above all –

Ambition.

4 Eb

Yellow Self-Existing Human

  

You touch my Thigh

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/ Rhythmic Lizard Moon of Equality, Day 3

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 –

 

 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/ Rhythmic Lizard Moon of Equality, Day 2

2 Oc

White Lunar Dog

 

My Spirit falls – shattered by

 Barricades more solid than

Mortared Brick could fuse –

Unwittingly I descend

Into the seventh Hell

Of lusty Phrases worn with Use

 

Divorced and desperate, I came here

 To seek my Self – observe and grow

Beyond a vapid Realm of Mediocrity --

Cradled by sweet Reason, my Soul

Reclaimed itself into a Structure girded

Well against satanic Mockery

 

You caressed my Body’s Curves and Spaces –

The trembling of my Womb

Held you closely, dark, and deep

In loving you, my Spirit grew half-strong –

Giddy with Delight to reach

The Height of long-forgotten Dreams

 

But Night and you together

Blasphemed my sacred Peace –

The Wish to love became the Wish to please

Betrayed by shallow Light behind your Eyes

I lay shrouded in Deception

I stumbled then but again will rise.

Red Magnetic Moon/ Rhythmic Lizard Moon of Equality, Day 1

1 Muluc—

 

Red Magnetic Moon

 

I have lain with you

And qualify, therefore, like Orpheus

To visit you in the Land of Death –

Your battered Defenses protect you still –

Hiding Grief and unbearable Pain

 

As you transform within a Cradle of Grace

I cover you like an Angel —

With Love and Wisdom

 

Your Wings are mere buds on your Back –

Made supple by stretching and shivering

Like the hibernating Arctic Fox

 

In the winter of your Death

You reached 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.
