White Overtone Wind/ Self-Existing Owl Moon of Form, Day 20






5 Ik


White Overtone Wind

Psyche’s Song*



I lit the Lamp of Insight

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/ Self-Existing Owl Moon of Form, Day 19


 

 4 Imix


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.

Yellow Electric Sun/ Self-Existing Owl Moon of Form, Day 18


 

 

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 Story--- 

Thus we return eternally.

Blue Lunar Storm/ Self-Existing Owl Moon of Form, Day 17


  

2 Cauac


Blue Lunar Storm


I sacrificed the Sacrifice---
My Womb’s 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 Poetry

This is my Rebirth
And my Becoming----

My Atonement and Salvation 
Raison d’étre and Redemption.

White Magnetic Mirror/ Self-Existing Owl Moon of Form, Day 16





13 Etznab


White Cosmic Mirror


 Degradation of the Human Race

Has reached its full Completion


In all of Nature’s vast Display---

 Variety and Beauty indescribable---

There is one Face extraordinary---

Innocence made visible


I sing of the northern Infants 

Slaughtered for their Fur---

Such a Prize---such a bloody Boon

For the Hunter


These Babes are easy Prey 

Too young to swim away---

Heads shattered---skinned alive

Left to die in Agony

In front of weeping Mothers


Enormous dark Eyes mirror

Man’s Inhumanity---Cruelty---Insanity--- 

Lifeless, skinless babies’ Bodies

Thrown away to rot

Upon the Snow and Ice

Now stained with Blood and Gore 

No More!

No More!


The Harp Seal---

Striking Beauty

 In a barren Wilderness

Struck down---bludgeoned to Death

For a Wallet or Coat


Beware! All who participate

Beware! All who fail to protest 

Beware!

The Slaughter of Innocents

Goes not unpunished.

Red Cosmic Earth/ Self-Existing Owl Moon of Form, Day 15


 

 
13 Caban



Red Cosmic Earth


The blushing Earth
Retires
From the Sun’s fierce Eye
At Dusk---

She spins through 
Every Day and Night
Navigating the rhythmic
 Parity of Seasons---

Patiently she organizes
Synchronic Evolution
Empowered by 
A Universal Fire
Of Endurance 
Under the birthing Power
Of the first Magnetic Moon.

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.
