6 Akbal
Blue Rhythmic Night
Up
from the Depths
Through
blue rhythmic Night---
An
Abundance of Dreams
Symbols
and Themes
Redolent
with Archetype---
Signifying
Treasure
Cherish
these---
For
numinous are they
And
Sacred
With
Energy enough
To
render whole
A lost or broken Soul.

5 Ik
White Overtone Wind
Psyche’s Song*
Then I saw the god in you---
A Spark---a sparkling Star
Beneath your hooded Eye---
In Fear you spread your Wings
To fly---
Now I wonder and I wander
In Anguish and Despair---
Each Breath a mournful Cry---
Are you gone forever?
Will you let me die?
Or will you save me, Love---
From my riven Soul
And the existential Lie?
*Eros, the god of love, deserts Psyche his lover, when she looks upon
him in the night. She has been forbidden to do so. Therefore, he flies back to
his mother, Aphrodite, goddess of love. Psyche and Eros symbolize the inner
feminine and masculine aspects of soul and consciousness which must be
reconciled before psychological wholeness is achieved.

Red
Self-Existing Dragon
Like Fish are we
Swimming in Oceans of Soul
This Holy Water
Serves as Home
Sustaining All invisibly
Immanent Grace
Our Birthright---
From Sea to shining Sea.
3 Ahau
Yellow Electric Sun
From Diamonds we derive---
Emerald Electricity
And Sapphires blue---
Souls wander through
Stygian Darkness
Into the Wombs of Women---
Spiraling Flight
Tumbles into Being
Pulsing with Time---
As Above, so Below---
Spine holds the Codes
From Root to Crown
Zodiacal Gates
Open to Symbol
Life after Life---
Children of Light
Spin into Glory---
Then through Story
We Return eternally.

2 Cauac
Blue Lunar Storm
I sacrificed the Sacrifice---
My Womb removed and never tried---
Am I Virgin now
Or just worth Less?
I hear a distant Symphony
A Hymn of String and Drum---
I abide on the metaphysical Side
Full of wild Life---
A swirling whirling
Stormy Sea of Dance and Poetry---
This is my Rebirth
And my Becoming----
My Atonement and Salvation---
Raison
d’étre and Redemption.

1 Etznab
White Magnetic
Mirror
There is an Ocean by the Highlands---
Second largest in the World
She ebbs and flows with Tides eternal
Reaching out with Waves unfurled
There is an Ocean by the Highlands---
Atlantic she is called in our own
Tongue
Yet she does sing in Tongues
unnumbered
Songs for every Land and Old and
Young
There is an Ocean by the Highlands---
Laughing with the dancing Stars of
Night
She captures all celestial Beams and
Planets
Within her endless Lattices of Light
There is an Ocean by the Highlands
Kissing all the Shells upon the Shore---
She stretches salty Arms around her
Islands
Saying that she could not love them
more
There is an Ocean by the Highlands
Between two Continents does she sit---
Protecting all that lives beneath her
Surface
Bearing to her Ports each noble Ship
There is an Ocean by the Highlands
She is the Stuff of Life and Lore---
She beckons all with Swells unceasing
As Poseidon did for fair Athena roar.

13 Caban
Red Self-Existing Earth
Turns shyly
From the Sun’s fierce Eye
At Dusk---
She spins through
Every Day and Night
Navigating
A rhythmic Equality
Of Seasons---
Patiently she organizes
Synchronic Evolution
Empowered by
The Universal Fire
Of Endurance
Under the birthing Power
Of the first Magnetic Moon.
