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
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!

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!

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.

Golden Bee
On Spruce on Pine
Drinking Nectar---
Pulling Syrup
From the Blossom
Ivy

Berry
Bush---
Black-eyed
Susans
Never
rush
Pebble,
Shell, and Wood
Drift
in from Sea
Decorating
Sand
In
random Jocularity---
Waves
whisper and fall
On Rhythms fine-tuned---
In Earth’s
constant Call
To
her pale Sister Moon.

Light-filled
Field unified---
All healed.

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!
