Yellow Ovetone Star/ Cosmic Turtle Moon of Presence, Day 4

5 Lamat

Yellow Overtone Star

 

Thou art a Star

Unbound --- Uncontained

By Fear or Pain

 

Fed by a Mind invincible –

A Spirit moved and moving

Thy Soul is a living Wonder---

Steeped in Anima’s Glory

Strong as a Lion’s Roar.

4 Manik

 

 

Blue Self-Existing Hand

Tanka*

 

 Now, because you are

Free to fly, I shine, glisten

And glimmer like a

Clear crystal Tear on the Tip

 Of your out-stretched feathered Wing.

White Electric World-Bridger/ Cosmic Turtle Moon of Presence, Day 2

3 Cimi

 

White Electric World-Bridger

 

 

Bullies birth the Saints

Long-suffering –

 

One Hundred and Four

Thousand Years an Age

 

 Alphabet turns Hieroglyph –

And Cries of Grief to Song.

Red Lunar Serpent/ Cosmic Turtle Moon of Presence, Day 1

2 Chicchan

 

Red Lunar Serpent 

 

Let us move our Mourning to Thanksgiving

Giving up Despair for Second Sight

That we may count ourselves among the Living

Our Vision sees through Darkness into Light

Between us many Obstacles arise

To block our Path of Faith around the Earth

But when at last we see with Spirit’s Eyes

The poison Snake of Sadness dies at Birth

Our Gratitude and Faith forever sound

In ringing Psalms of Memory and Praise

Beyond the Walls of Sorrow, we are found

Singing Hymns of Joy for all our Days.

 

All Thanks to you, our pure and gentle Dove

Progenitor of Fealty and Love.

Yellow Magnetic Seed/ Crystal Rabbit Moon of Cooperation, Day 28

1 Kan

 

Yellow Magnetic Seed

 

Moving up and out –

In the here and now

Am I –

 

Nor Shadow nor Shade

Nor Partner nor Maid

Am I –

                      

Whole and complete

Aware and replete with Wisdom

Am I ––

 

Unchained – unbowed – unwed

Free to choose – choosing Freedom 

Am I ---

Fierce and mighty

Grateful and giving 

Am I ––

Creating – destroying – preserving

All that comes to Matter 

Am I ––

Daughter – Sister – Mother

 Woman – Friend 

Am I ––

A Voice that in the End

Bridges Space amid Worlds 

I Am.

Blue Cosmic Night/ Crystal Rabbit Moon of Cooperation, Day 27

 13 Akbal 

 

Blue Cosmic Night

 

Into high Symbol

We go --

And low also  

 

Initiation transforms Soul –

Life takes on Meaning

Like an Alice Blue Gown

 

But first to the Dark Night

The Underworld of War –

Wotan’s* Ecstasy

 

This Wave of Time/Space crests

As Cataclysm transforms

Trinity into Quaternity --

Hamlet becomes Faust

 

Descend then to the Mothers –

Sacred Goddess’ Diadem

Earth’s Mysteries foretell

A New Jerusalem!

 

*Wotan: one-eyed Teutonic god with an insatiable appetite for war and power – a symbol of blind violence.

White Crystal Wind/ Crystal Rabbit Moon of Cooperation, Day 26

12 Ik

 

White Crystal Wind

 

In and out

 

The Sea breathes

 

Herself awake---

 

On morning’s Tide 

 

The Breeze---

 

A cleansing Current of

 

Crystalline Air---

 

Giving up Debris

 

In frothy Paroxysms

 

She bequeaths and leaves

 

Flotsam and Jetsam---

 

 Shells and more

 

Upon her polished Shore.

Red Spectral Dragon/ Crystal Rabbit Moon of Cooperation, Day 25

11 Imix

 

Red Spectral Dragon

 

My Grief –

 I own it as I would

A Dagger plunged

Into my Heart

 

The Blade would

End my Life

If it were Steel

 

Yet Sorrow steals

Much more than Breath

From the dancing Soul –

 

Psychic Wounds

Bleed Tears unceasing –

 Suffering marks

A ground of being –

 

Until Eros lands to

Pull the Knife out clean.

6/22/2023 Yellow Planetary Sun/ Crystal Rabbit Moon of Cooperation. Day 24

10 Ahau

 

 

Yellow Planetary Sun

 

 

The disembodied Voice

So long held dear –

 

Communication

From afar –

Each Syllable and Word

Recalled –

Love’s Labors these

When Bodies separate

 

Reunion puts a Face on Love –

Alters Space and Time –

Adds Dimension  

More Feeling to a Phrase –

 Rounding out Reality

Making Past and Future

Into Here and Now –

Transforming Promise

Into Vow.

6/21/2023 Blue Solar Storm/ Crystal Rabbit Moon of Cooperation, Day 23

9 Cauac 

 

Blue Solar Storm

 

My Heart is closed for Repairs 

Out to Lunch

Shut down

Boarded up against you

 

You refuse to give –

Even to starving Subway Seekers –

To me you give few Words

Weak Affection

A Pittance of Attention

 

Therefore I will retreat –

Withdraw and free myself

From this Neglect

 

Until further Notice –

My Heart is closed for Repairs.

White Galactc Mirror/ Crystal Rabbit Moon of Cooperation, Day 22

 

8 Etznab

 

White Galactic Mirror

 

Against green Vines

Violet Thistle blooms

 

Needle Pines grow

Near deep Seafoam blue

 

Monarch sails on

Orange and black

 

From Chrysalis

To Continents

 

Sips syrup sweet –

Then soars in Flight

 

Vibrant Contrast –

Wingèd Light.

Red Resonant Earth/ Crystal Rabbit Moon of Cooperation, Day 21

7 Caban

 

Red Resonant Earth

 

I set down

A Ring of Fire --

 

 The Bone

The Feather and the Cone

My Territory mark

 

I lay in waiting

 Still – until

 

You cross

The confines

Of my Heart

 

The Ring of my Wondering

The Ring of my Wandering

 

You braved the Limits

Of my Rage

 

My Childhood died –

 Fear fell as well

 

When true Love spoke  

You broke the Spell.

Yellow Rhythmic Warrior/ Crystal Rabbit Moon of Cooperation, Day 20

6 Cib

 

Yellow Rhythmic Warrior

 

I will shock you into Joy –

Enough to slough away

The routine Day

Rendering sacred each Moment

In a heartfelt Hour –

 

Whenever you forget

Or lose your Self

I will appear –

Exploding unexpectedly

In the Heart of your Mind –

In the Mind of your Heart

 

If fleeting Greed and Fear

Freeze Creation

I will shake you

To your sacred Roots

With a Thunderbolt of Truth –

 

Oh, dearest One –

Hear my Words

Ineffable and numinous –

Feed your Soul

With Manna irresistible

Welcome me

For I am Love

Made visible –

Your highest Hope

Revealed

Your greatest Passion fulfilled

Life in Death Am I –

The Resurrection and the Way

 

Oh, my Beloved

Your Heart beats

To my Rhythm –

Open to receive me

At your Heart’s Door

For I stand and knock

I shall shock you –

Rock and roll you

Into the Fire-stream

Of Destiny –

Arise!

 

Now is the Time!

Blue Overtone Eagle/ Crystal Rabbit Moon of Cooperation, Day 19

5 Men

Blue Overtone Eagle

Song of Persephone*

 

Lord of the Underworld –

You captured me, abducted

Overwhelmed and took me down

Down to Darkness and Chaos

Down to the Soul of Night

Down to your Kingdom below us

Down where there is no Light

 

To the Land of the Dead –

Shades of long ago and might-have-been

Where Obsessions rule, Ghosts live

Old Sins revive and breathe again

Ignorant was I in Ways of Seduction

Masquerading as Love – perfect Prey

For the rapacious Wolf of Desire –

The Eagle of Transformation

 

In your long gold Chariot

You came for me inevitably –

Now I am Queen of the Underworld

Now I am Priestess of Mystery

 

When Innocence is Violence bound

Then is a Maiden lost –

And there a Myth is found.

*Persephone is Demeter’s daughter, abducted by Hades, Lord of the Underworld, and forced to stay with him for four months of the year.

White Self-Existing Wizard/ Crystal Rabbit Moon of Cooperation, Day 18

4 Ix

 

White Self-Existing Wizard

 

Now the wounded Heart

Breaks open – broken

 

Into Soul’s Ear

Artilleries and Armies

Lob thunderous Volleys

 

Every Form of Fire Power

Sheds every Form of Blood

 

As Within, so Without

As Above, so Below

 

How…

 

 

When…

 

 

Where…

 

 

Peace?

 

 

NOW!

3 Ben

  

Red Electric Skywalker

 

 Language beyond Language –

Silent Sound

Subtle Music

 

 Knowledge beyond Knowledge –

Faith – Certainty

Through Illusion

 

 Space beyond Space –

Infinite Beauty

 Peace and Grace

 

 Time beyond Time

Eternity flirts and lifts her Skirts –

 Souls unite

 

 Measure beyond Measure

Marks the Love I feel

Love unfailing – brave and bold

 

 Treasure beyond Treasure

Invaluable – inviolate

The cosmic Center of a Soul.

6/14/2023 Yellow Lunar Human/ Crystal Rabbit Moon of Cooperation, Day 16

2 Eb

 

Yellow Lunar Human

  

It was an August Moon that wed us –

Led us far beyond the Night

A billion Stars were Witness with

An incandescent Light

 

This lunar Lamplight cast a Spell –

We traveled through an Aureole

To a secret dreaming Place

 Held close in fond Embrace

 

Down an Aisle of liquescent Silver  

Beneath the Moon’s quiescent Ride

The Ocean sent us where no Sound lives

Save the Murmur of the Tide.

Blue Magnetic Monkey/ Crystal Rabbit Moon of Cooperation, Day 15

1 Chuen

 

Blue Magnetic Monkey

 

Thy laughter is the Rush of Angel Wings

Thy Smile is the Sun on the Horizon

One Call from Thee and my Heart fairly sings

I pray the Songs and Words will ne’er be done

I see in Thee a Diamond Star of Night

Lending all its luster to a dark Sky

Forever brought from Darkness into Light

By Faith so perfect in its Alibi

I know and trust that you do love me well

For never  did a Kiss reveal as much

In its magnetic Pull and tidal Swell

To realms of Peace, I flew with one fine Touch

 

May Heaven bless this Union wondrous fair

That none could ever separate this Pair.
