Consciousness rises
Holding fast to Wisps and Whispers
From an ever-healing Soul.

Who will save the Babies
When Bombs fall?

At the far Edge of Consciousness
Where Heart of Earth meets Heart of Sky
The Circles appear---
Magnificent Mysteries
Like veiled Women waiting---
Serenely profound---
Woven of Grain and Mist---
Displaying Numinous Artistry
Sacred to Grain Goddesses
From Time immemorial---
In Fields, they lay---

Shrouding symbolic Languages
Of a new Age of the Goddess---
Music made visible
Stepped down in Frequency
To nourish our Souls---
For these are Soul’s Food---
Inklings and Intimations
Given freely in the Night
For our imminent Evolution
Into Beings of Light.

Through limpid mountain Air
