Blue Crystal Night/ Resonant Monkey Moon of Attunement, Day 22

 


 12 Akbal

  

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 

For that is the one thing I never could do.

White Spectral Wind/ Resonant Monkey Moon of Attunement, Day 21

 


11 Ik 

 

White Spectral Wind

 

 

When all excess dissolves from feverish day

And minutes disappear in metaphor

Then alabaster bones alone do stay

Supporting one activity – no more--

Necessities expendable become

I meditate entirely on Thee

No other function takes me from my home

Nor hunger, commerce, nor philosophy--

Contemplation truly undertaken

Sustains the mind, the body, and the soul

Bliss pervades, and ecstasies awaken

All else is rendered dross when Thou art goal--

 

If naught but thought of Thee is my desire

Then neither death nor life can quench the fire.

Red Planetary Dragon/ Resonant Monkey Moon of Attunement, Day 20

 


 10 Imix 

 

Red Planetary Dragon 

 

Shimmering

New Moon

 

Golden Cuticle

Poised beneath

The Evening Star

 

A Shadow ‘round

Your crescent Horn

Belies your Maiden State

 

 Transfiguration signified –

Re-birth reborn through the Eastern Gate.

Yellow Solar Sun/ Resonant Monkey Moon of Attunement, Day 19


 

9 Ahau

Yellow Solar Sun

 

Galileo of the Night Sky

  I sing this Verse for you--

 

‘Round your Head, a Halo’s made –-

 The glowing Nimbus of the Moon

 

In the Palm of your Hand

You hold the Sun

 

When her diurnal Orbit

Of Earth is done--

 

Galaxies and Stars

Are Home to you

 

For you alone do hear

The Clarion Call of Truth

 

Copernicus and you

Move Heaven and Earth

 

To lift the stubborn Minds of Men--

Mistaken in their Dearth of

 

Knowledge, erroneous

Views and egocentric Thought

 

Raucous Argument and

Persecution come to Naught

 

For Righteousness with you abides –

Your sidereal

Kingdom is bona fide!

Blue Galactic Storm/Resonant Monkey Moon of Attunement, Day 18


 8 Cauac

 

Blue Galactic Storm

 

And so it was…

That Babel’s Tower

Fell into Neglect

Separating Man

From Man---

Man from Woman

 

And now it is…

That Babble falls away---

Chaos recedes

Being takes Form

Time takes Time

Out of Mind

 

Into Soul

Where it turns

 

Into sacred Geometry

Re-membering

Scattered Shards

Of Humanity –

 

Re-pairing

Lost Parts---

I rejoice as

Spirals sing---

Swinging the Cosmos

Around in Sound---

Perfect Harmony

Evolves in Fifths---

Pythagoras knew this!

12/26/2024 White Resonant Mirror/ Resonant Monkey Moon of Attunement, Day 17



7 Etznab

 

White Resonant Mirror

(Rave Song)

 

Pale Streaks amble up an eastern Sky

Ethereal pink–ochre–violet

Dawn arrives---

Irrevocable Proof that Revelry

May postpone Reality

And sometimes Time

 

We dance the Moon up to her Prime

From a dry Lake Bed---itself a Moonscape

We feel Her move within

The Music and the soft blue Night---

We ride the Constellations

Traveling on Adrenalin and Starlight

 

We sing to the Moon as she

Fades into a wan Reflection of

Midnight’s Diamond Glory---

Our Drumbeats echo

Earth’s beating Heart

 

We came to celebrate –

Retrieve and consecrate

Our resonant Connection

To Earth’s pale Sister Moon---

She hangs low and westerly

When finally, we leave –

The Day begins, but we are finished.

Red Rhythmic Earth/ Resonant Monkey Moon of Attunement, Day 16


 

6 Caban

 

Red Rhythmic Earth

 

Golden Bee

On Spruce and Pine

Drinking Nectar

Pulling Syrup

From the Bloom

 

Ivy twines ‘round

Berry Bush

Black-eyed Susans

Never rush

 

Pebble, Shell, and Wood

Drift in from Sea

Decorating Sand

In random Jocularity—

Waves whisper and fall

In fine-tuned Rhythms –

Earth’s constant Call

To her pale Sister Moon.

1/23/2024 Blue Self-Existing Eagle/ Resonant Monkey Moon of Attunement, Day 14



 4 Men

 

Blue Self-Existing Eagle

 

Blue Eagle, do you hear the call

Singing through the Oak and Pine –

 Whispering Tendrils on the Vine?

My Voice – a faint Murmur in the Night

Kissing you softly awake

 

Blue Eagle, do you hear the Song

Floating on a misty Mountainside

Rushing down a narrow Waterfall

Up the lazy River of your Spine

Like a lovely Lotus Blossom?

 

Blue Eagle, do you hear the Sound

Crowning and surrounding you

Sighing for your Soul

To learn its Language?

 

Blue Eagle, do you hear the Drum

Signaling the Rhythm of your Days

As you become the Master of your Fate?

Blue Eagle, mark the Measure of your Glory

Embrace the Grandeur of your Story —

 

Now!

White Electric Wizard/ Resonant Monkey Moon of Attunement, Day 13


 

3 Ix 

 

White Electric Wizard

 

In Dreams

She appears---

When the Veil

Is most transparent

 

Vesica Pisces*

Sacred Vessel----

Hoop of two full Moons

Interfacing each other

 

Sacred Portal is She

Out of Duality into Reality

Into Unity---

The Absolute

 

Clan Initiate

Am I now

Given the Mission

For which I’ve prayed

 

Mystae and Woman Wise

Full of Poetry and Motion

Pregnant with a Zeitgeist---

Mediatrix of a Vision.

 

 

*Sacred Geometry: a pointed oval shape resulting from the intersection of two circles. Used in medieval art and sculpture, especially to enclose a figure of Jesus Christ or the Madonna.

1/21/2023 Red Lunar Skywalker/ Resonant Monkey Moon of Attunement, Day 12


 

2 Ben

Red Lunar Skywalker

Citizens…

Battered and beaten
By Bullet and Bomb
Tattered and treated
Like Garbage and Scum
Ripped up, taken down
To the Ground deaf and dumb
Rushing and running to
Beat the War-Drum

Everywhere is
Ground Zero for the (S)hero
Of our Age –

Chaos now takes center Stage
Fretting and strutting
His Stuff and his Rage –

Dumbed down by the Screens
The Screams and the Beams –

Sound-- Bytes for all
Superficial and trite--
Bully Amerika started
This fight!

Numbed out are we
Sickened...addicted
To Micky D - Meth
All Drugs prescripted
To TV, DVD, MP 3
LCD, HD, LOL, POTUS
AIPAC , NSA, FISA and NASA

Hell yeah!  Language shrinks
Shirking its Duty
Critical Thought now
Drowns in Acronym


Icon / Emoticon
Replace Language sublime
Fear sells Liberty
Dressed in Camouflage

A Calculus arises
To measure
Mortality rates
Of Infants in War Zones
Like Hatchets used
To explore a human Heart

As eastern Lights rise
The West comes apart--
The Galaxy its
Balance must define
Our Future lay
In dusty Hieroglyph carved
On the barely visible
Tomb of Time.

Yellow Magnetic Human/ Resonant Monkey Moon of Attunement, Day 11


 

1 Eb

 

Yellow Magnetic Human 

 

Each of us hides a Beauty and a Beast

In each a Light and Darkness of the Heart

In all a Famine and a Holy Feast

In each the Whole of which we are a Part

 

In all Minds both Human and Divine

In each one two Voices in the Soul

In every Fruit hard Seed and honeyed Wine

Within each Particle resides the Whole

 

In all that’s Uniform – Diversity

In all Duality does Union hide

In all that’s complex lives Simplicity

In all who fear are Faith and Love denied

 

Though Maya’s subtle Veil hides all that’s True

With conscious Sight the single Eye sees through.

1/19/2024 Blue Cosmic Monkey/ Resonant Monkey Moon of Attunement, Day 10

 


 

13 Chuen 

 

Blue Cosmic Monkey

 

Into the wild Sea

I dive –

Into the wild Wave

 

One with the open Sky

Am I

One with the open Wing

 

Into the Forest green

I wander

Into a mountain Spring

 

I am One with these

Sea – Sky, and Wood -

Fierce and free like these am I

 

The Rhythm of Nature

Life – Death – Life

Is replicate in me

 

For I am this -

Dancing Magic –

Calling forth the Soul in Thee.

White Crystal Dog/ Resonant Monkey Moon of Attunement, Day 9


 

12 Oc

 

White Crystal Dog 

 

                      Beyond all Saints and Sages                  

Above Fear and Philosophy

Past Word and Image

 

Through burning Rages –

Melancholy Stages

Resolving into Pages

Whereupon I pour my Soul

 

My Heart beats

In a sacred Alembic –

Transforming into the Alchemy

Where only Love can be.
