Into the wild Sea
I dive---
Into the wild Wave
One with the open
Sky
Am I---
One with an 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 these
Dancing Magic---
Calling forth the
Soul in Thee.

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 the sacred Alembic---
Transforming into an Alchemy
Where only Love can be.

Blue Solar Hand
Be brave---believe
in Her----know Her
For She makes
the Hearts of Life
Forming Links---
Connecting Parts
She drinks
your Tears
And from them
makes
New Flesh---firm
and warm
She re-creates all Form
She uses
your Heart---
Its
pounding, thrumming Drum
To seed the
Colors of Life
To dance and
sing its Song
Life---Death---Life
is She
Eternal Turn
and Re---turn
She is the
Drama of Destiny
She is the Healer within you and Me.

Grandmother Spider weaves,
While Space/Time waits
Preparing for Rebirth---
Soul spins a Body
Taking on Karma
Descending then to Earth
Held by Threads invisible
Silver---obscure---delicate---
Woven on the Loom Maya*---
Undetectable Sacred Patterns
Holding Codes of Origin---
Bind us all to Fate.

Red Resonant Serpent
My precious Friend, regard me not
askance
Though I deserve your Gaze, most
skeptical
I cannot fault you for your wary Glance
For of myself, I make pure Spectacle
It is to Tears my Words one could
compare
Both flow in uncontrollable Remorse
In Composition, they so poorly fare
To express Passion from its deepest Source
These Words survive though Tears do
disappear
Poetry at least puts Form on Feeling
But I do risk your Mockery and Fear
Trying to convince you of my Meaning
Emotion, when translated to Refrain
Loses too Much but gambles more to
gain.
