Blue Galactic Storm
And so it was…
That Babel’s Tower
Fell into Neglect
Separating Man
From Man---
Man from Woman
And now it is…
That Babble falls away---
Chaos recedes
Being takes Form
Time takes Time
Out of Mind
Into Soul
Where it becomes
Sacred Geometry---
Re-membering
Scattered Shards
Of Humanity---
Re-pairing
Lost Parts---
I rejoice as
Spirals sing---
Swinging the Cosmos
Around in Light and Sound---
Perfect Harmony
Evolves in Fifths---
Pythagoras knew this!

White Resonant
Mirror
Rave Song
Pale Streaks amble up an eastern Sky
Ethereal pink–ochre–violet
Dawn arrives---
Irrevocable Proof that Revelry
May postpone Reality
And sometimes Time
We danced the Moon up to her Prime
From a dry Lake Bed---itself a
Moonscape
We feel Her move within
The Music and the soft blue Night---
We ride the Constellations
Traveling on Adrenalin and Starlight---
We sang to the Moon as she
Faded into a wan Reflection of
Midnight’s Diamond Glory---
Our Drumbeats echo
Earth’s beating Heart
We came to celebrate---
Retrieve and consecrate
Our resonant Connection
To Earth’s pale Sister Moon---
She hangs low and westerly
When finally, we leave---
The Day begins, but we are finished.

Never

Pebble,

Drift

In
random Jocularity---
Waves
whisper and fall
In
fine-tuned Rhythms---
Earth’s
constant Call
To
her pale Sister Moon.

Blue Self-Existing
Eagle
Blue Eagle, do you hear the call
Singing through the Oak and Pine---
Whispering Tendrils on the Vine?
My Voice---a Murmur in the
Night
Kissing you softly awake
Blue Eagle, do you hear the Song
Floating on a misty Mountainside
Rushing down a narrow Waterfall
Up the lazy River of your Spine
Like a lovely Lotus Blossom?
Blue Eagle, do you hear the Sound
Crowning and surrounding you---
Sighing for your Soul
To learn its Language?
Blue Eagle, do you hear the Drum
Signaling the Rhythm of your Days
As you become the Master of your
Fate?
Blue Eagle, mark the Measure of your
Glory
Embrace the Grandeur of your Story---
Now!

3 Ix
White Electric
Wizard
In Dreams
She appears---
When the Veil
Is most transparent
Vesica Pisces*
Sacred Vessel----
Hoop of two full Moons
Intercepting one another
Forming the Sacred Portal is She
Out of Duality into Reality
Into Unity---
The Absolute
Clan Initiate
Am I now
Given the Mission
For which I’ve prayed
Mystae and Woman Wise
Full of Poetry and Motion
Pregnant with a Zeitgeist---
Mediatrix of a Vision.
*In Sacred Geometry---a pointed oval
shape resulting from the intersection of two circles. Used in medieval art and
sculpture, especially to enclose a figure of Jesus Christ or the Madonna, or to symbolize the reconciliation of Duality into mystical Unity.

2 Ben
Red Lunar Skywalker
I am a Poet
In a soulless Age---
Relentless Rage
Intolerable Images
Rise to dim the Eyes
Of would-be Heroes---
I am a Poet
In a loveless Age---
Out of Time and Place---
Where manufactured Media flows
From Factories of Mediocrity
We Assemble
Like Beasts at the Trough
Sensing imminent Slaughter---
Who can hear
A Poet’s Voice amid the Din?
Who will listen---
Who comprehend
The Depth of our Descent
So close and soon upon us?
The green, fecund Earth
Unspeakably dear
Howls in Desperation---
Wounded beyond Recognition
We are falling
Off the Horizon again---
Sailing over the Edge
On Ships of Ignorance and Fear.

Yellow Magnetic
Human
Sonnet X
In each of us a Beauty and a Beast
In all a Light and Darkness of the
Heart
In each a Famine and a Holy Feast
In all the Whole of which we are a
Part
In every Mind lives Human and Divine
In each One two Voices in the Soul
In every Fruit, hard Seed, and honeyed
Wine
Within each Particle resides the
Whole
In all that’s Uniform---Diversity
In all Duality does Union hide
In all that’s complex lives
Simplicity
In all who fear are Faith and Love
denied
Though
Maya’s subtle Veil hides all that’s True
With conscious Sight, the single Eye peers
through.

Blue Cosmic Monkey
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 a sacred Alembic---
Transforming into an Alchemy
Where only Love can be.
