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--
Failure to transform
Fear into Love
Ego into Soul.

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.

White Lunar Wizard
We must take Risks
To birth our Genius—
For then
The Angels gather
Seeds of Brilliance--
Planted before Origin--
Watered and fed
By Cries of the Heart--
A prodigious Life
Requires a Rupture
Of mundane Existence--
Where Kairos crosses Cronos--
When Vertical intersects Horizontal--
Dance into Destiny--
Embrace Life’s Mystery
Drama and Agony--
Perform an essential Rebirth
Into Daimon’s Pattern and Veracity.

1 Ben
Red Magnetic Skywalker
Poetry rises like the Mist
Aurora
Borealis* at
the northern Gate
Streaming new Mythologies –
Sound and Light incarnate
Look to the Moon
Her constant Inconstancy
Power transformed
Enchantment embodied
Civilizations deconstruct
Nascent Nation-States
Buy and sell themselves
Into Oblivion
Single-eyed Wotan
Slouches toward Bethlehem
Like the Cyclops, Polypheme –
Beast of Cruelty and Mayhem
Listen to your S(elf) –
Your shadowed Soul
Singing to you often
In a small Voice, soft
Attune to the Helix
Radio-sonic Matrix –
Song of the next Age
Spinning into Grace
Look to the new Time
A Vision that glows
On the far Edge of Destiny
Where the Tree of Life
Blossoms and grows.
*In northern latitudes, the effect is known as the aurora borealis (the northern
lights), named after the Roman goddess of dawn, Aurora, and
the Greek name
for the north wind, Boreas.

13 Eb
Yellow Cosmic Human
Just as Ignorance blossoms in Darkness
Unbearable to endure
So the Time of the Cosmic Human emerges
Transforming Intelligence into Consciousness
This new Being comprehends
Time and Space within Movement and Measure
Within the Cosmic Human beats the Cosmic Heart
Heart of Earth/ Heart of Sky
Extending Love to Earth and all sentient Forms
Far-seeing Sages, Philosophers, Mystics
Seek to lift the Mind of Humanity –
Cosmic Humans are these - from the Heart of the Galaxy.

Blue Crystal Night
Ask me to stem the great Ocean’s Tide
Ask me to halt the Moon’s silver Ride
Ask me to bless the Blind with clear Sight
Ask me to banish all Darkness from Night
Ask me to heal the Wounds of the World
Ask me to find the Oyster’s sweet Pearl
Ask me to live without Water or Air
Ask me to cut off my Breath or my Hair
But ask me not ever to cease loving you
That is the one thing
I never could do.

White Spectral Dog
Above All, a true Heart
Liberation knows –
Its violet Flame
Glows with Grace –
Evokes a Sacred
Unconditioned Love –
Beneath this Light
Under a shining Sun
All Separation
ends
Dissolving into One.

Red Planetary Moon
Learn the Language
Of the Moon –
A new Word daily
For Love and Beauty
The Day-Keeper’s Time
Marked in Poetry –
Nature’s Language murmured
In Rhythm and Rhyme
Galaxies sail
The ethereal Brine
Ships of colored Light
In Sacred
Design
My Classroom –
An ever-darkening Sky
Full with Intimations of Infinity –
Blessed Fruit of silver Blossoms rife
Adorning the Cosmic Tree of Life.

Gods
Creation’s ancient Glyph

Sacred flaming Gifts
to Quetzalcoatl –
Plumed Serpent –
Symbol of a Shaman’s Crown
I climb
The moaning
Wind to the Summit –
Phoenix rising from
the Ashes –
Past Lives renewed
and incarnated –
Who climbed these
Heights, never to descend?
Who
Has prayed
Here to gods of Fear
And Desperation? Echoes hum
Sung by Souls gone
long ago to Rest –
Gentle Patience pulses in silent shining Stars
Watching the dubious
Progress of Man –
How miniscule are these grand
Structures to the wide
Eyes of Heaven?
The Sun or
Moon?

Blue Galactic Hand
Two wild Swans
Swim stately by
The northern Shore---
Symbols of the peaceful Soul--
Realized and whole
Apparently a Pair
One female – one male
Calm and slow
Mark of the sacred Androgyne –
White as driven Snow.

I am a Poet
In a soul-less Age –
Relentless Rages
Intolerable Images
Rise to dim the Eyes
Of would-be Heroes –
I am a Poet
In a loveless Age –
Out of Time and
Place –
Where manufactured Media
flows
From Factories of Mediocrity
We Assemble
Like Beasts at the
Trough
Sensing imminent
Slaughter –
Who can hear
A Poet’s Voice amid
the Din?
Who will listen –
Who comprehend
The Depth of our
Descent
So close and soon
upon us?
The green, fecund
Earth
Unspeakably dear
Howls in Desperation
–
Wounded beyond
Recognition
We are falling
Off the Horizon again
–
Sailing over the
Edge
On Ships of Ignorance
and Fear.

Sing this song for Women
Who are left bereft
When Children, Brothers, Husbands, Parents
die –
Women of the War-torn World –
Killed and maimed –
Burned – stoned – raped - beheaded and
shot through –
Let us weep for those
Who live half-lives - Hearts torn up--
Riven into jagged wounds –
Wet with sacred Water –
Wet with tears of Grief
Weep also for those
Harpies of the Patriarchy
Whose Passion becomes Madness--
When Logic gives way
And Violence holds sway
These Women are Women no more –
Lost in the Wasteland of a Land
undone –
This country like an aberrant
Adolescent, thrown between Extremes--
Losing all Balance
These women Shriek--
Unnerved by Insanity
They shout from twisted Mouths –
Hurling Insults and Epithets –
These Women are deranged
Unstrung – women who kill
Their young with prejudicial Poison –
Cry for these Hearts
Shattered - battered beyond Repair
Hearts living outside the Body –
Unconnected - broken - closed to Compassion
Women no more
These “Vagina Dentatae* --
The blind Graeae of one Eye only.

In symbolic Allegory

The long dark Night
To reconcile the Day.

Of Water and Air.
