White Electric Mirror/ Cosmic Turtle Moon of Presence, Day 4


4 Etznab

 

White Electric Mirror


 Called in Sanskrit Sushumna –

The central mystic Column

Of the Spine

Creates a Channel

Of traveling Energy –

Ascending and Descending

Alternating Currents Serpentine –

 

Ida (Moon) and Pingala (Sun)

Rising and falling through each Chakra

From Muladhara (base) to Sahasrara (crown)

Creating Masculine and Feminine

High/Low - Dark/Light – Ha/Tha –

Weavers of Third Dimension –

Reality of Duality/ Relativity

 

 Kundalini rises

Enlightening the Soul

Awakening subtle Bodies –

Transforming all that’s Relative

 Into the Absolute.

Red Lunar Earth/ Cosmic Turtle Moon of Presence, Day 3



2 Caban


Red Lunar Earth

 

Sing – blue Globe of Light

Sing all Day – sing each Night –

These phases less Reality

But merely Shadow-Play

 

Sing – shimmering Earth -Soul

Sing of a Time just in Time

When the Voice of the Turtle

Is heard in the Land

 

Sing – holographic Hieroglyph –

Play out the Play which spins

The Fear of Death

Into the Death of Fear

 

Sing – Elements of Quintessential Peace

Music – Laughter – Joy – Grace

Sing until all Borders

Fade without a Trace

 

Sing – cerulean Jewel of Glory

Sailing down a Golden Dawn

Sing – sacred Ground – Sky and Sea

Sing – precious Pearl of Mystery.

Yellow Magnetic Warrior/ Cosmic Turtle Moon of Presence, Day 2



1 Cib

  

Yellow Magnetic Warrior

  

You slew the Messenger –

You killed the Angel

For her Light –

 

My Love –

When most I needed you

You murdered me

Outright.

Blue Cosmic Eagle/ Cosmic Turtle Moon of Presence, Day 1


13 Men


 

Blue Cosmic Eagle



Underneath an

Earthen Crust

In Gaia's Nest

A Serpent turns –

Languorously undulating

Among Blossoms infinite –

The Flowers of all Nations –

 

She knows her Self

Sacred yet vilified –

Mythic Mediator

Between Heart of Earth –

Heart of Sky

 

Her Form

Eternally re-born 

Among deep Roots

Of the great World Tree –

 

When Opposites meet

Marry and merge

Power becomes Lightning –

Where Scales once lay

Now Eagle’s Wings

 Ascend instead.

White Crystal Wizard/ Crystal Rabbit Moon of Dedication, Day 28

 


12 Ix

 

White Crystal Wizard

 

Ancient Stones

Initialed

With Lichen

And Moss

Mark the Passage –

 

Nature sculpts

A Testament

Bequeathing Color –

Changing Hue

On Ivy

                                                                And rotting Wood –

 

Toadstools sit

Haphazardly and violet

In the Musk

As I wander in the Graveyard

Through an autumn Dusk.

Red Spectral Skywalker/ Crystal Rabbit Moon of Dedication, Day 27

 



11 Ben


Red Spectral Skywalker

 

We escaped!

From City to Desert Wilderness

We escaped!

From blaring Cacophony

To Silence and Birdsong –

Sweet Liberation!

 

With Eyes clear as Glass

I see Mountains –

Now I am calm as

 Tall Trees rustle

 In a turquoise Dusk -

Now I am quiet

Like the Night.

6/24/2021 Yellow Planetary Human/ Crystal Rabbit Moon of Dedication, Day 26


10 Eb

 

Yellow Planetary Human

 

Up came I from the border Towns –

Texas towns of Wind and Heat

 Dust unto Dust

 

Up drove I from a Valley of Death –

Border Patrols – screaming Sirens –

Burly men searching for “Wetbacks” to catch

Crossing the Rio Grande –

Swimming for their Lives and Children

Braving Cold – Darkness – Nets - Death

 

Cops everywhere in those Texas Towns –

Armed and dangerous Vigilantes

Looking to find a Reason to kill

Small brown People

Gentle and proud

With Hope greater than Fear –

 Nothing to lose

 

Up drove I through ghost Town after Town

From Palm to Mesquite –

North came I when Night descended

Looking for Shelter but none to be had –

 

Every Lad from the oil Fields

With pockets full of Money

Filled every Space – sold out – locked down

No Room at the Inn for

Brave brown People or me.

6/23/2021 Blue Solar Monkey/ Crystal Rabbit Moon of Dedication, Day 25

 



9 Chuen

 

Blue Solar Monkey

 

Amid the glossy Steel and engine’s Roar

I saw his Eyes point blank –

 

Blue like Skies, Jay’s Wing, and ocean Water

In the Sun that set as we flew north

From Warmth, carried on a soft Wind

 

We sat in antiseptic Splendor

On a Plane of Strangers

In Time we broke the Barrier –

Decided that we’d found

Too much to speak of to let go –

 

“No” – suspend the Night and Day

Escape from Pain, seek Peace, delay

Your Flight and stay with me

 

I heard his Plea

Asking that I change my Course

Rearrange my Night and Day

For him

 

I uttered my Reply

Dared not deny myself the Instinct

Too long held captive, Wings clipped –

Not allowed to fly

 

 

The Jewel of that March Night

Shimmered with our Heat and Light –

Our Bodies fused -

Desire keenly felt

And tightly wrapped around us

 

Is this my Fate –

My Destiny incarnate?

Bronze Strength – blue Fire

Cool green Mountain Shade

On white hot Desert Sand

 

My dear One –

My Atlanta one Night Stand.

6/22/2021 White Galactic Dog/Crystal Rabbit Moon of Dedication, Day 24

 


8 Oc

 

White Galactic Dog

  

How do I tell thee of my Love?

Are Verses sung in Tune enough

To move you beyond moving?

 

Shall I paint a Portrait of Affection

Reflecting deep Enchantment?

 

My Affection turns Affliction –

Its Weight hangs heavily  

 

 Fear battles Hope

That in the Telling it will meet

 

Acceptance – willingness

To love me in Return

 

Fear locks the Gates of Love

 Faith alone holds fast the Key.

6/21/2021 Red Resonant Moon/ Crystal Rabbit Moon, Day 23

 





















7 Muluc

Red Resonant Moon

 

There once was a Man

Who would blow up the Moon –

Detonate Her out of the Sky

Why?

 

Unnaturally

The Rhythm of the Tides

The Movement of the Waters

Would stop –

Apparently

These Cycles are too Time-consuming

For this Man

 

Our Culture demands

Immediate Gratification

The Instant Fix

A Negation of Life, Death, and Rebirth

Linear Time rules in no Time

Time out of Time with Nature

Earth out of Time – out of Touch

Out of Tune with the Moon

 

There once was a Man

Who would blow up the Moon –

One wonders what was put

Into his Mother’s Milk!

6/20/2021 Yellow Rhythmic Star/ Crystal Rabbit Moon of Dedication, Day 22

 



Yellow Rhythmic Star

 

 I frequent Beauty

As my Duty and my Due –

 

As Honey

To the Bee –

 

Beauty be

The All to me.

6/19/2021 Blue Overtone Hand/ Crystal Rabbit Moon of Dedication, Day 21



5 Manik

 

Blue Overtone Hand

  

How – why – and when indeed

Does Love transform to Need?

 

The giving Hand goes on the Take

The Heart grows dark and cold

 

Once open Arms and Eyes

Close to Possibility and Passion –

 

Suspicion suspends Belief

Trust steps out for a Smoke

 

Neither Relief nor Faith survive

The imminent Loss of Hope.

6/18/2021 White Self-Existing World-Bridger/ Crystal Rabbit Moon of Dedication, Day 20



4 Cimi

 

White Self-Existing World-Bridger

 

Like ice on winter Roses

Or frosted dew on Grass –

My Heart softens

 

Only the Stone

Remains in Place

Outside the Tomb

 

But like a Cloud

The Boulder floats away –

She is risen!

 

The Angel in your voice –

It’s Tone and Timbre

Start my Heart to beat

 

A Resurrection of Affection

Wordless Communion

Reunion – Celebration

 

A past Affair –

A bitter Death

Brought to present Time

 

In Forgiveness –

Remembrance

And Gratitude sublime.

6/17/2021 Red Electric Serpent/ Crystal Rabbit Moon of Dedication, Day 19


3 Chicchan

 

Red Electric Serpent

 

In Solitude

I journey down

To meet Ereshkigal

My Sister dark –

My Shadow

 

Seven times she

Strips my Flesh –

My Veils

 

Bone alone remains –

If I survive

My self will die –

 

And while I mourn

My Soul will be reborn.

6/16/2021 Yellow Lunar Seed/ Crystal Rabbit Moon of Dedication, Day 18

 



2 Kan

 

Yellow Lunar Seed

 

There is a Time of Year that lies yawning –

Stretching the Space between Seasons

Days – Weeks of Promise when, depending on the Solstice

We stand between cold Dread and warm Anticipation

 

There is a Time of Year that takes the plant Roots deep –

Makes its Moves from inner Signals

Cosmic Calls of ice-filled Lakes –

Frost – Cold –Wind –Snow and Rain

 Skies of November resemble a Day in March

When grey Clouds give no Comfort or Promise of Warmth

 

Finally, winter loses Strength –

A Seed begins its brave invisible

 Ascent to early Suns too pale for warming –

Only Faith supports our Skin and Bones

Now chilled and blue with Longing

For spring the winter’s Damage to atone

 

There is a Time of Year that shivers

While we, like Children, short-sighted

And burning with Desire cannot wait

For howling, whistling Winds

To blow away the old and bring upon the New

The autumnal Days of early spring are rude –

They tease and taunt without Remorse

 

 

There is a Time of Year too short to name until …

Azure fills a Sky of cotton Clouds –

Jonquil Petals open with the Violet

Green Grass quivers with the Flights of little Bees

Whose Legs are yellow Pollen laden

Daffodil sits up with Hyacinth upon the Hill

The Moth awakes to fly on parchment Wing

The Seasons turn – Gaia smiles – naming Spring.

6/15/2021 Blue Magnetic Night/ Crystal Rabbit Moon of Dedication, Day 17






1 Akbal

 

Blue Magnetic Night

 

Sweet Sleep

Enfold me

Travel down

And hold me

To Thy Breast –

 

Long Night

Approach me

Overcome

And take me

Down to

Rest

 

Tall Dreams

Entrance Me –

Free the Heart

To dance in me

Lest –

 

Dark Fears

Besiege me –

Swallow down

And seize

The very best

Of me.

6/14/2021 White Cosmic Wind/ Crystal Rabbit Moon of Dedication, Day 16

 


13 Ik  

White Cosmic Wind

 

A Phantom have I

Lived with near a Year –

An inner Voice

A disembodied Face

 

A separate Self –

Beloved yet apart –

A ghostly Lover

Occupies my Heart

 

His surface Charm

Hides Depths unfathomable –

Deadly and immortal both –

 There wild Resentment grows

 

Upon him I projected

Every Wound and Crime

Committed from my infancy

Until present Time

 

I fashioned him a Hero –

That insubstantial Soul –

But when I cut him loose I saw

The Hero is my Self made whole.
