White Self-Existing Wind/ Galactic Hawk Moon of Integrity, Day 23

 

4 Ik

 

White Self-Existing Wind

 

Many a past Love had passed over me

Those I thought true became truly false

I lost all my Loves in Loss untimely

To Lust’s illusory three-quartered Waltz

 

Terrified of Solitude

Friendship I sought with purloined Emotion

Grief and Misery rendered me numb

Grandiose, aggressive, and rude---

 

I thirsted and starved at Fate’s great Banquet

Refusing to learn or earn my Share

Finally abandoned by all who knew me

I gave myself up to Insanity

 

“Take me,” I prayed to a god unknown

“Release me from Hell on Earth.”

In Desperation I then  found

A Bridge of Sighs on the River of Life---

 

Part of me died---the Fear and the Pride

As a Newborn, I crossed the Bridge---

When at last I reached the other Side

I perceived a Meal most strange!

 

The Fare was unpleasant, not easy to swallow

It stuck in my Throat but nourished my Soul

Compelled to eat without knowing why

I had Breakfast of Crow and a large Humble Pie.

Red Electric Dragon/ Galactic Hawk Moon of Integrity, Day 22

 

3 Imix 

Red Electric Dragon 

Twilight unwraps

An amber New Moon---

Pale Cuticle---

Crescent Scythe

Low on the Horizon

 

Astonishing

Ethereal silver Bow---

First Feminine Principle---

Innocent Glow

 

She sings the Endings of

Things as they are

She sings of Beginnings

Cycles, Successions---

Inspiring Initiation into

World-Soul Transformation.

2/27/2026 Yellow Lunar Sun/ Galactic Hawk Moon of Integrity, Day 21

 

2 Ahau

 

Yellow Lunar Sun

 

Prior to Sight comes Sound

Hoof Beats like Heart-beats on Blacktop---

 Horse and Rider bound

For Work or Home---

Seeking Sustenance as the Sun

Reaches Zenith---sere and severe

 

Clip-clop/ clip-clop / clip-clop---

A Brown sorrel Mare moves into View

With a side-saddled Shepherd shouting, “Yasu!”

“Yasu!  Πώς είσαι?” I respond---

He tips his Hat to me

 

Finally, bringing up the Rear

Of this Ionian Cavalcade

A creamy Labrador Retriever

Panting in Anticipation and Thirst---

She knows that in the final Reckoning---

The Last shall be the First.

Blue Magnetic Storm/ Galactic Hawk Moon of Integrity, Day 20

 

1 Cauac 

Blue Magnetic Storm

 

We sail---

 

Along shallow Streams of Obscurity

 

Into a wide River of Mediocrity---

 

Across tempestuous Seas of Humanity

 

Through black Storms of Loneliness

 

Until the distant Shores of Bliss---

 

Find us.

White Cosmic Mirror/ Galactic Hawk Moon of Integrity, Day 19

 

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 Crystal Earth/ Galactic Hawk Moon of Integrity, Day 18

 

12 Caban

 

Red Crystal Earth

 

After a long Descent

Into Space/Time---

Into Third Dimension

The Soul sleeps

 

Encased in a Body---

Then set upon the Earth---

The Soul slumbers

Awaiting Holy Birth

 

 Spirit’s Mission

Here on Earth?

 The awakened Soul

Healed and whole---

 

Like Dionysus we

Are twice---born

First into Body

 Then into Soul

 

Consciousness rises

From Womb and Cross

 Proclaiming Resurrection---

The Truth and the Way--- 

 

In this sacred Union  

Spirit joins Soul---

Love and Joy won

Fear forever gone.

2/23/2026 Yellow Spectral Warrior/ Galactic Hawk Moon of Integrity, Day 17

 

11 Cib

 

Yellow Spectral Warrior

 

Always have I been

A singular Woman in a World of Men

 

The Heroine summoned---

The Rebel Heart grows---

 

Within the Heart

My Soul is twain---

 

 Weakling meets Warrior---

Conflict rises daily with the Sun

 

If Origin is Answer

Then into the Conflict run

 

Run toward the Light of the Son

Into the living Fire

 

Into the shining Sea

Into the widening Gyre

 

Transcend all Opposites---

Kshatriya and Brahmin grow

 

Into the Angels above--

Into the Angels below.
