White Magnetic Mirror/ Crystal Rabbit Moon of Cooperation, Day 2

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 Matrices of Light

 

There is an Ocean by the Highlands

Kissing all the Shells upon the Shore

She stretches salty Arms around her Islands

As if to say 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 for his fair Athena roars.

Red Cosmic Earth/ Crystal Rabbit Moon of Cooperation, Day 1


13 Caban

 

Red Cosmic Earth

 

The blushing Earth

Turns shyly

From the Sun’s fierce Eye

At Dusk –

 

She spins through

Everyday 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.

Yellow Crystal Warrior/ Spectral Serpent Moon of Liberation, Day 28

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 all---

Strewn with Sign and Symbol

 

Take the magic Carpet’s Flight

To the Markers and the Making---

To the sleeping and the waking

Tapestry and Language of the Night.

Blue Spectral Eagle/ Spectral Serpent Moon of Liberation, Day 27

 11 Cauac


Blue Spectral Eagle 

 

When I hear your Voice

I hear the Bells

I always have

I always will

 

One Bell signals Happiness

My Heart fulfilled and blessed

 

A second rings with Joy –

The Song of a barefoot Boy

 

Then Exhilaration do I hear

And feel when you’re with me

 

Finally, the chime of Ecstasy –

The Bliss of a Soul set free.

White Planetary Wizard/ Spectral Serpent Moon of Liberation, Day 26


10 Ix 



 

White Planetary Wizard

 

I will arise now

And fly unto Aaron –

Fly to my Love

In the desert night Air

 

Purple Grapes will I bring

To feed him and Figs

Under the Moon

In the desert night Sky

 

For him, I will dance

Be-jeweled and Kohl-eyed –

Entrance him will I

In the desert night Air

 

I will anoint him

With Oil exotic

Soothing his Heart

In the sweet desert Air

Unto Aaron I fly –

Under sparkling Stars

With Roses in my Hair

Through the Desert night Air 

 

I will read to him Verses

From the Poet’s wild Heart

Enchant him will I

'Neath the dark Desert Sky  

 

 Music drifts down –

Melodies sacred

Liquid and rare

On the desert night Air

 

Aaron, my Priest –

Prince of the Desert

Aaron, my Almond Branch –

Young, strong, and fair

 

Aaron, my Priest –

Prince of the desert

Aaron, my Almond Branch

Young, strong, and fair.

Red Solar Skywalker/ Spectral Serpent Moon of Liberation, Day 25

9 Ben

 

Red Solar Skywalker

 

The Mind beyond all Measure Power holds

Thoughts send us into Heaven or to Hell

One long enclosed in Bars of Iron cold

When dreaming full escapes his prison Cell

Whence exists our Paradise eternal

Where Time and Space lose all significance?

By transmuting thoughts of Fear infernal

Into Devotion’s transcendental Dance

Worth more is Vigilance than Sacrifice

Pre-requisite to Life miraculous

 Avoid all Fear while curbing Avarice

Thus, will the Cosmos all your Missions bless

 

Dreams manifest in Synchronicity

When sacred Time designs Reality.

Yellow Galactic Human/ Spectral Serpent Moon of Liberation, Day 24

8 Eb


 

Yellow Galactic Human

 

Long before…

Before, I was (a) Being

I was just a Human doing

 

Being just a Doing

Moved me to Despair

 

In this State, I met Inmates

All of us sad – all of us desperate

 

Squirrels in a Cage –

Rats in a Maze

 

I knew not what to be or do –

How to escape – where to go

 

Finally surrendering all that I did

I went where I truly lived

 

Mind and Body are merely Tools

To build a Being worthy

 

Mind and Body make no Case –

Lock, Stock, and Barrel

I move into Grace!

Blue Resonant Monkey/ Spectral Serpent Moon of Liberation, Day 23

7 Chuen 

 

Blue Resonant Monkey

 

Wherefore in the Center

When Primary

Becomes its Opposite –

Here lives Hecate

She of the Power of Words --

 

Spirit of Crossroads

Deity of Intersections

Wise Woman Archetype

 Three-Kingdom’d Queen

Fairy Mother God

 

Here Crucifixion lives –

The Cross of Third Dimension –

An Illusion of limited Souls –

Body electric becomes

Alchemical Alembic --

Water and Fire

Become Go(l)d

 

Resurrection supplants Death

Ascension signifies Hecate –

Divinity within

Denied, defamed, and Herself –

Crucified.

White Rhythmic Dog/ Spectral Serpent Moon of Liberation, Day 22

6 Oc

 

White Rhythmic Dog

 

I am conquered--

Shorn of Pride and Prejudice

 

I am lost--

My Heart doth flee my Breast

 

I am thine--

And thus, cannot be lonely

 

My Thoughts would never rest

But rest upon Thee only --

 

I am found--

And love the Feeling well

 

I am bound--

By Bonds of Heaven and Hell

 

For Heaven it is to greet thee

And Hell it is to leave thee

 

Thou art strong in Word and Deed

Yet gentle in thy Need

 

My Soul calls unto thee

In Poems wild and sweet

 

The Rhymes and Couplets meet

To keep us Company

 

Else could I not live

Until thou dost return to me.

Red Overtone Moon/ Spectral Serpent Moon of Liberation, Day 21

5 Muluc

 

Red Overtone Moon

 

If only I could heal each Wound you own

And mend the Places where your Soul is torn

A silver Moonbeam I would sculpt and hone

That it might pierce the hardest Heart e’er born

A golden ray of Sunlight will I use

To thread my Quill with soothing Thoughts and Care

Every Rift and Ravel you will lose

To perfect Suture, excellent Repair

But Time alone has Tools to fare so well –

In my Power I do presume too much

Wishing that in wishing itself could dwell

A Magic only angels use and touch.

 

My hope is that a perfect Love and Time

Transform all Pain into Peace sublime.

Yellow Self-Existing Star/ Spectral Serpent Moon of Liberation, Day 20

4 Lamat

 

Yellow Self-Existing Star      

 

Rising Moon –

You dazzle like

Another Sun

 

 Silently lifting

Your silver Gown

Into a velvet black Sky

 

 Stars hang

Faint and obscure

Before your Majesty

 

Time and Tide

Are Moon’s domain –

Her Beauty absolute

 

Lady of the Evening Light –

Quiet Queen of Night.

Blue Electric Hand/ Spectral Serpent Moon of Liberation, Day 19

3 Manik

 

Blue Electric Hand

  

As I looked down the Corridors of Time

Those Halls were empty, desolate, and still

I’ve lived in every Century and Clime

Becoming what I wish and what I will

I traveled fast in search of something lost --

Forgotten since the Dawn of Time’s Rebirth

I could not name it nor of Knowledge boast --

Though I Redemption sensed, and with it Mirth.

I saw then your Figure solitary

Beckoning me from Futures not yet lived --

Your strong Embrace gave Sanctuary

From Fear and Death as soon as I believed.

 

I chose Faith and a Share in what is True

Love rescued me from Time when I found You.

White Lunar World Bridger/ Spectral Serpent Moon of Liberation, Day 18

 2 Ciimi

 

White Lunar World-Bridger


From Mansions

On the Moon

A second Impulse rises –

 

Emerging Grace

Holds Spirit’s Breath

 

Duality cloaks Reality

 Solid seeming – mostly Space

 

Where One once was

Now Two appear

 

 Time from Timelessness begins

Fractals split Infinity

Informing Form –

 

Inhale – Exhale

Male – Female

One from Two is born.

Weaves Moons thirteen

Into Space/Time’s

13 Kan

 

Yellow Cosmic Seed

 

Consider

The Endurance

Of a Seed

 

Hidden Precision

Compact Promise

Dormant Possibility

 

Within Acorn

A Forest entire –

An Empire of Trees

Fruit and Seeds

Enough to feed

 All Nations

 

One conscious Mind

Fully fed and awake

Might move us all

From Darkness to Light

Out of Grief, out of Fear

Into the bountiful

Garden of Delight.

Blue Crystal Night/ Spectral Serpent Moon of Liberation, Day 15



12 Akbal

 

 

Blue Crystal Night 

 

Ask me to stem the great Ocean’s Tide

 

Ask me to halt the Moon’s silver Ride

 

Ask me to bless the Blind with clear Sight

 

Ask me to banish all Darkness from Night

 

Ask me to heal the Wounds of the World

 

Ask me to find the Oyster’s sweet Pearl

 

Ask me to live without Water or Air

 

Ask me to cut off my Breath or my Hair

 

But ask me not ever to cease loving you

 

For that is the one thing I never could do.

White Spectral Wind/ Spectral Serpent Moon of Liberation, Day 14

11 Ik


White Spectral Wind 

 

When all excess dissolves from feverish day

And minutes disappear in metaphor

Then alabaster bones alone do stay

Supporting one activity – no more--

Necessities expendable become

I meditate entirely on Thee

No other function takes me from my home

Nor hunger, commerce, nor philosophy--

Contemplation truly undertaken

Sustains the mind, the body, and the soul

Bliss pervades, and ecstasies awaken

All else is rendered dross when Thou art goal--

 

If naught but thought of Thee is my desire

Then neither death nor life can quench the fire.

10 Imix

 

Red Planetary Dragon

 

Shimmering

New Moon

 

A Golden Cuticle

Poised beneath

The Evening Star

 

A Shadow ‘round

Your crescent Horn

Belies your Maiden State

 

 Transfiguration signified –

Re-birth reborn through the Eastern Gate.
