Yellow Crystal Warrior/ Self-Existing Owl Moon of Form, Day 14


 

12 Cib


Yellow Crystal Warrior



One need not travel far to Dreamland---

Let the Thread unwind

To the Bottom of the Deep---

Close your Eyes … untie the Knot

And fall asleep



The Weaver will awaken

When you are unaware---

Intertwining Dreams through

Layered Realms of Slumber



Keep close these Shades remembered---

Disjointed – vague – dismembered 

Starry Robes of Hypnos 

Strewn with Sign and Symbol



Take the magic Carpet’s Flight

To the Markers and the Making---

The sleeping and the waking 

Tapestry and Language of the Night.

11 Men


Blue Spectral Eagle



When I hear your Voice

I hear the Bells 

I always have 

I always will


One Bell signals Happiness 

A Heart fulfilled and blessed---


The second rings with Joy---

The Song of a barefoot Boy 


Then Exhilaration do I hear 

And feel when you’re with me 


Finally, the chime of Ecstasy---

The Bliss of a Soul set free.

White Planetary Wizard/ Self-Existing Owl Moon of Form, Day 12


 

10 Ix 
 
White Planetary Wizard
 
I will arise now

And fly unto Aaron---

Fly to my Love

In the desert night Air


 Purple Grapes will I bring

To feed him and Figs

Under the Moon

In the desert night Sky---

 
For him, I will dance

Be-jeweled and Kohl-eyed---

Entrance him will I

In the desert night Air---

 
I will anoint him

With Oil of Myrrh

Soothing his Heart

In the sweet desert Mist

 
Unto Aaron I fly---

Under sparkling Stars

With Roses in my Hair

Through the Desert night Air 

 
I will read to him Verses

From the Poet’s wild Heart

Enchant him will I

'Neath the dark Desert Sky 
 

 Music drifts down---

Melodies sacred

Liquid and rare

In the desert night Air

 
Aaron, my Priest---

Prince of the Desert

Aaron, my Almond Branch---

Young, strong, and fair.

Red Solar Skywalker/ Self-Existing Owl Moon of Form, Day 11


 
 
9 Ben


Red Solar Skywalker
Shakespearean Sonnet III

The Mind beyond all Measure Power holds

Thoughts send us into Heaven or to Hell

One long enclosed in Bars of Iron cold

When dreaming full escapes his prison Cell---

Whence exists our Paradise supernal

Where Time and Space lose all significance?

In transmuting thoughts of Dread infernal

Into Devotion’s transcendental Dance

Worth more is Vigilance than Sacrifice---

Pre-requisite to Life miraculous 

 Avoid all Fear while curbing Avarice

Thus, will the Cosmos all your Missions bless

Dreams manifest in Synchronicity
When sacred Time designs Reality.

10/27/2024 Yellow Galactic Human/ Self-Existing Owl Moon of Form, Day 10




 

8 Eb


Yellow Galactic Human


Long before…

Before, I was a Human Being

I was just a Human Doing


Being just a Doing

Moved me to Despair


In this State, I met Inmates

All of us sad---all of us desperate


Squirrels in a Cage---

Rats in a Maze


I knew not what to be or do---

How to escape---where to go


Finally surrendering All that I did

I went where I truly lived---


Mind and Body are merely Tools

To build a Being worthy---

To build a Being of Soul!


Mind and Body made no Case---

Lock, Stock, and Barrel

I moved into Grace!

Blue Resonant Monkey/ Self-Existing Owl Moon of Form, Day 9


 

 
7 Chuen


Blue Resonant Monkey


Wherefore in the Center

When Primary
 
Becomes its Opposite---
 
Here lives Hecate

She of the Word Power---


Spirit of Crossroads
 
Deity of Intersections
 
Wise Woman Archetype
 
 Three-Kingdom’d Queen
 
Fairy Mother God


Here Crucifixion lives---

The Cross of Third Dimension---

An Illusion of limited Souls---

Body electric becomes 

Alchemical Alembic--- 

Water and Fire

Become Go(l)d



Resurrection supplants Death

Ascension signifies Hecate---

Divinity within
 
Denied, defamed, and Herself---

Crucified.

White Rhythmic Dog/ Self-Existing Owl Moon of Form, Day 8

 


 

6 Oc


White Rhythmic Dog


I am conquered-- 

Shorn of Pride and Prejudice


I am lost--

My Heart doth flee my Breast


I am thine--

And thus, cannot be lonely


My Thoughts would never rest

But rest upon Thee only --


I am found--

And love the Feeling well 


I am bound--

By Bonds of Heaven and Hell


For Heaven it is to greet thee 

And Hell it is to leave thee


My Soul calls out to thee

In Poems wild and sweet 


The Rhymes and Couplets meet

To keep us Company


Else could I not live

Until thou dost return to me.

Red Overtone Moon/ Self-Existing Owl Moon of Form, Day 7

 


 

5 Muluc


Red Overtone Moon


If only I could heal each Wound you own 

And mend the Places where your Soul is torn 

A silver Moonbeam I would sculpt and hone 

That it might pierce the hardest Heart e’er born

A golden ray of Sunlight will I use

To thread my Quill with soothing Thoughts and Care 

Every Rift and Ravel you will lose

To perfect Suture, excellent Repair

But Time alone has Tools to fare so well –

In my Power I do presume too much 

Wishing that in wishing itself could dwell

A Magic only Angels use and touch.


My hope is that a perfect Love and Time

Transform all Pain into Peace sublime.

Yellow Self-Existing Star/ Self-Existing Owl Moon of Form, Day 6

 


 

4 Lamat


Yellow Self-Existing Star



Rising Moon---

You dazzle like

Another Sun


 Silently lifting

Your silver Gown

Into a velvet black Sky


 Stars hang

Faint and obscure 

Before your Majesty--- 


Time and Tide 

Are Moon’s domain---

Her Beauty absolute


Lady of the Evening Light---

Sovereign Queen of Night.

Blue Electric Hand/ Self-Existing Owl Moon of Form, Day 5


 

 

3 Manik

 

Blue Electric Hand

Shakespearean Sonnet # I


  

As I looked down the Corridors of Time


Those Halls were empty, desolate, and still


I’ve lived in every Century and Clime


Becoming what I wish and what I will


I traveled fast in search of something lost---


Forgotten since the Dawn of Time’s Rebirth


I could not name it nor of Knowledge boast---


Though I Redemption sensed, and with it Mirth.


I saw then your Figure solitary


Beckoning me from Futures not yet lived---


Your strong Embrace gave Sanctuary


From Fear and Death as soon as I believed.

 

I chose Faith and a Share in what is True

Love rescued me from Time when I found You.

Yellow Cosmic Seed

 

Consider

The Endurance

Of a Seed---

 

Hidden Precision

Compact Promise

Dormant Possibility---

 

Within Acorn

A Forest entire---

An Empire of Trees

Fruit and Seeds

Enough to feed

 All Nations

 

One conscious Mind

Fully fed and awake

Might move us all

From Darkness into Light---

Out of Grief, out of Fear

Into a bountiful

Garden of Delight.

2 Cimi

 

                   White Lunar World-Bridger

 

Moonbeams fall

On all alike

 

Drifting down 

A silver Pathway

 

In quiet Night

Upon a World

 

Polarized

Hypnotized

Mechanized

 

Radiant Dreams

Rise and fly

To Galaxies nearby 

 

Visions of a World restored

From Fear to Love

From Chaos to Cosmos.

Blue Crystal Night/ Self-Existing Owl Moon of Form, Day 1

 


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/ Electric Deer Moon of Service, Day 28

 


11 Ik


White Spectral Wind

 

When all excess dissolves from fev’rish 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

Not 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.

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/ Electric Deer Moon of Service, Day 26

 


9 Ahau


Yellow Solar Sun

 

Galileo of the Night Sky

  I sing this Verse for you---

 

‘Round your Head, a Halo’s made

Of 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 mediocre 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/ Electric Deer Moon of Service, Day 25

 


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

And becomes

 

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!

10/13/ 2024 White Resonant Mirror/Electric Deer Moon of Service, Day 24


 

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 danced 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 sang to the Moon as she

Faded 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.
