Smooth – unbowed

Though they hold

Ten Thousand Years.

Red Galactic Skywalker/ Earth/ Magnetic Bat Moon of Purpose, Day 5

Red Galactic Skywalker

 

Flown the Arrow from the Bow –

Gone the small white Stone

Into a strongman’s Forehead –

America removes

Coils of Limitation, Cruelty –

War and Mayhem disappear –

She rejects a Repeat of History

Fascism. . . Corruption. . . Bigotry

 

An adolescent Nation ripens –

 Evolution races like the Stone –

Shock, Torpor, and Denial lift --

Conviction defeats the Unthinkable –

The Action takes a Turn and strong –

The Arrow finds its Mark

Consciousness rises with the Sun

Division and Evil die in Washington.

Yellow Resonant Human/ Magnetic Bat Moon of Purpose, Day 4

7 Eb

Yellow Resonant Human

“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.

Blue Rhymic Monkey/ Magnetic Bat Moon of Purpose, Day 3

6 Men

  

Blue Rhythmic Monkey

  

Gentle Breezes

Float on Pine –

Which Alchemy to subtle

 Music does refine –

 

Thrumming Whispers humming

Make audible the Air –

 

 Nature’s Instrument the Tree

Exquisite String and Bow –

Singing up to Heaven

All Glory here below.

White Overtone Dog/ Magnetic Bat Moon of Purpose, Day 2

 

5 Oc

 

White Overtone Dog

 

Give me but Silence

And a green Glade

A soft Breeze

To cool the Fire in my Heart

 

How simple is this

Elemental Grace –

Yet far away and lost

In the frantic daily Pace

 

Life is full of This and That

Where to go and What to do

Whom to meet and What to say

Choices lost and Choices made

 

Mundane Details are the Sieve

Through which my Genius

Slips away to Silence

 

And a green Glade.

Red Self-Existing Moon/ Magnetic Bat Moon of Purpose, 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 in a Cradle of Grace

I cover you like an Angel —

With Love and Wisdom

 

Your Wings are mere buds on your Spine –

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 the Mysteries

Borne on the back of Agony –

The Price of Initiation.

3 Lamat

 

Yellow Electric Star

 

Sapphire – Amethyst – Emerald

Carnelian – Chalcedony – Chrysoprase

Helix in Flux –

Crystal Harmonics

 

Listen for the small Voice still –

Sound beneath all Sound

Radiant Light

Within a starry Round

 

Attune your Soul

To sacred Geometry

Climb Jacob’s Ladder –

Ascend – descend

 

Into the Earth-Heart Chakra*

The Almond in her Shell

The New Jerusalem –

The sub-atomic Cell

 

Foundation of our Being

Source of Light and Sound

Aphrodite’s** Crown of Jewels

Gleaming on Love’s Ground.

 

*Chakra (Sanskrit):  Vortex of life force located in the physical and metaphysical bodies.

**Aphrodite: The Greek Goddess of love, beauty, sensuality, and fertility.

Blue Lunar Hand/ Cosmic Turtle Moon of Presence, Day 28

 

2 Manik 

Blue Lunar Hand

 

Polarities define this

 Third Dimension

 

Dialectics

Inspire Dialogue

 

Security?

Illusion merely --

Unnecessary

 

Extremes

And all Degrees between

Belie Reality

 

Challenge

All that limits Thee

 

The End

Becomes Beginning

 

Absolve Thy Vision –

Now transcend!

White Magnetic World-Bridger/ Cosmic Turtle Moon of Presence, Day 27

1 Cimi

 

White Magnetic World-Bridger

 

 

Death comes –

Blade of Atropos*

In the Land of Life, Death, Life

The cycle dips to Nadir –

 

Breath stops

Motion ends —

Ending

Only that which

We can sense –

 

A finer Phase begins –

The Psychopomp arrives—

Guide of Souls

Adds another Thread –

 

Soul’s being

Beneath Breath is

Shining Love

Eternal –

We doff the Envelope

And fly again.

 

 

*Atropos: The third of three Fates in Greek myth; She who holds the scissors which mark the end of life on earth, the cutting of life’s thread.

Red Cosmic Serpent/ Cosmic Turtle Moon of Presence, Day 26

13 Chicchan

 

Red Cosmic Serpent

 

Rejecting conscious Ecstasy

We descend into Purgatory –

A Culture of Afflictions

And ritualized Addictions 

     

Our divine and potent Destiny

Lies dazed – degraded

Drunk – inflated – drugged and sated

With consumer Goods and Services 

 

 Hierarchies mete and measure

Top to Bottom

 Left to Hard Right –

Defending the indefensible

 

Imagination dies in Projection

Fundamentalism breeds Ignorance

Perfectionism precludes Creation

Capitalism kills Compassion

 

But coiled among and between

Straight Lines – Laws, Rules, and Regulations –

 Curves a Serpent like a Smile

Oblivious and full of Wild Life

 

The ineffable Arc of a nurturing Breast

Breaks through this Madness in the west

 

Awaken!

Silent silver One –

Slide in and out from under
 Patriarchy finally

Dead and torn asunder.

 Yellow Crystal Seed

  

Yellow Crystal

Seeds the Cube

Infinite Variety

 

 Symphonies of Light

Thus begins another Phase –

Ritual creates Consciousness on Earth

 

 Soul embodies Form

Sanctifying sacred Birth.

Blue Spectral Night/ Cosmic Turtle Moon of Presence, Day 24

11 Akbal

  

Blue Spectral Night

  

As Mercury

Turns retrograde

 Light transfigures Night – 

Spectral Blue dissolves

 

Into thirteen Moons

Of purposeful Dreaming –

Abundant Intuition

Liberation from Doctrine

 

Ascend the Heights of Soul

To seven Gates of Pearl –

Transcend ego Consciousness –

Allow Nirvana to unfurl!

10 Ik

  

White Planetary Wind

  

 Light beams dapple

 dancing Leaves --

 

Tall Trees

Whistle and hum

In the Breeze

 

Spirit sings

On Wind –

Spirit speaks

In Tongues unnumbered --

 

Wind-filled Grasses sway

Near seven Seas like Sails.

Red Solar Dragon/ Cosmic Turtle Moon of Presence, Day 22

 

9 Imix

  

Red Solar Dragon

 

Red Dragon coils

Circling the Earth –

Dimensional Dichotomies sing of

 Being and Becoming

 

Ordaining Birth

 Death and Rebirth

Both Poison and its Antidote –

 Soul’s eternal Paradox in Time

 

Intention carries us

From Cradle to Grave –

 Love fills the Spaces between –

In Measures of Rhythm and Rhyme.

Yellow Galactic Sun/ Cosmic Turtle Moon of Presence, Day 21

 

8 Ahau

  

Yellow Galactic Sun

  

Dear Heart

Find the Center

Your sweet saltwater Sea –

Clear and o’er-brimming

 

 Sparks of Love

Burst into Flame

White Tears –Red dust

Black Sun in my Throat

 

Throbbing like a Shaman’s Drum

Through the Age of Chaos

When Centers give way –

They cannot hold!

 

Boundaries collapse

And Walls also

Against this Gold alchemical

Within a Heart on Fire.

Blue Resonant Storm/ Cosmic Turtle Moon of Presence, Day 20

7 Cauac

Blue Resonant Storm

 I move away from here to Her

Seeking inner Realms of Power

Distant Shores of Peace

 

Sometimes in the Night only I am –

Forgetting – fearing – crying to be heard

Until Remembrance embraces me again –

I hear and then begin to listen

 

I hearken to the Voices in the Wind

Murmuring Sounds of the Rain

Storms recede – I remain

Celestial Mind in an earthbound Dream.

White Rhythmic Mirror/ Cosmic Turtle Moon of Presence, Day 19

6 Etznab

 

White Rhythmic Mirror

 

 

My Lord, thou master Artist of all Time

Draw us together - my true Love and me –

Blend all disparate Hues with Line sublime –

This Portrait mirrors our own Destiny.

Fill with Thy Light our Bodies in this Frame

That we exalt Thy peerless Excellence.

Design within our Hearts’ eternal Flame

Allegiance, Balance, Faith, and Reverence –

Paint Joy and Kindness on a Canvas clear

Assigning Form and Shape with expert Skill.

Allow a wondrous Palette to appear

Against Thy splendid Landscape of Good Will

 

Glory so great no Gallery can hold –

We spring to Life and break the ancient Mould.

Red Overtone Earth/ Cosmic Turtle Moon of Presence, Day 18

 

 

5 Caban

 

Red Overtone Earth

 

Mars spins crimson

Under a Solar Wind

Red hot

 

The Death of Mars marks

 A Cautionary Tale for Earth –

A Story of Debts outstanding

 

The Asteroid Belt

Born of Planet Marduk

Paid the Price

 

Earth’s Fate

Stands on the Brink

Of Karma unsettled

For Failure to transform

Fear into Love

Ego into Soul.

Yellow Self-Existing Warrior/ Cosmic Turtle Moon of Presence, Day 17

 4 Cib

 

Yellow Self-Existing Warrior

Within the Psyche

Lives a Being –

The exuberant Masculine

Who believes in Good

 

One who is certain and sure –

One who is wise

Unafraid of Death –

Some call him the Warrior Self

 

He is the Spirit Self –

A young Spirit

Who - regardless of Torment

Wounds and Exile –

 

Continues to Love –

He follows the Red Road

To Self-healing, Self-mending –

He respects the Road to Soul.
