Blue Magnetic Eagle
From the high Aerie
I rise and soar
Exploring a crystal Sky---
Honing my Eye to the Land and Sea---
Of the Highlands am I born---
Pine and Birch, my Lair---
Over cool Waters, I wheel and climb
Through limpid mountain Air
Blue Eagle, am I
The Rapturous Raptor---
Farsighted Seer of Visions vast
And Dreams of Future Past.

Wizard
Down from the North
Floats a Shaman’s
Song---
An ancient Melody
Full of Magic---
Words of Love
From the far white
North
Where Land, Sea, and
Sky are One---
An endless Expanse
Where Absolute
consumes the Relative---
Here lives the
Cosmic Wizard
The Healer---wise
One
Seer between the Realms
S/he sings and
dances
To the traveling
Drum---
S/he senses all Things
Through deep
Intuition---
S/he heals every Illness
With Skill hard-won
Human Suffering of
every Kind
The Shaman recognizes---
S/he feels from Birth.
The Joy and Pain of Mother Earth.

Crystal Skywalker
I gaze eastward
Toward
the Mountains
From
the Desert where I rest---

Soften

Pine and Holly
Turn
joyous and jocund---
Smooth,
soothing White
On the
Earth after Snow
Echoes
a Shift alchemical---
The Soul’s
Albedo
Out of
leaden Black
Depression---the
Dark Night
Turns Indigo Blue---
Relief---Respite during
Psyche’s Transformation
From Darkness into Light.

11 Eb
Yellow Spectral Human
Of all the crimes that humankind
commits
Of all injustices and harms likewise
Slavery no valid defense permits
Yet it prevails in all lands in disguise
Like Osiris we are bound in coffins
Made of flesh and blood in third dimension
The soul as butterfly beneath the
pins---
Caught in matter without
comprehension
The theft of freedom maims adult and
child
Akin to savage severing of limb
The spirit born to thrive within the
wild
Can never soar, explore, express, or
climb
Imprisoned by Birth and Bondage are
we
One can never fly unless All go free.

Blue Monkey---
Magical Sky Child
Innocent and Free---
Full of Play and Wonder

Manifestation Magician
Blue Monkey materializes
All that she intends---
Unlimited Patterns
Evolve in the Night
Star Seeds and Sparks
Craft her Body of Light.

8 Oc
White Galactic Dog
After the Death of
Isis
I knew that I
could die no more
For All that
Death did offer
I drank thereof
before
Down in the Depths
With the Goddess wild
Down in the Dark
With my broken
Child
I stayed with Her
I ate with Her
Consuming the
Ashes
Of Death–in–Life
Until again I rose
In Beauty and in
Grace
I bid farewell
To
the Worst---to the Best
Death forever in me known---
Fear forever put
to Rest.

Red Galactic Moon
Sweet---Shy
Coy---Sly---
New Moon’s silver Border
Slipping up like a Sapling
As City Noises fade---
Thou art Sky’s white Smile
Semi-circle---celestial Comma---
Parenthesis up-ended
In Ecstasy arisen.

6 Manik
Blue Rhythmic Hand
Handmade pieces---Defined by imperfection
Seem Anomalies in this Age of Machines
Handmade---An accolade
Denoting Care and Devotion
Five hundred years ago all things were Handmade---
Before Industrial Revolutions---
Humans are not
Machines---despite Scientific Materialism
Despite modern Medicine---
Into the Handmade go
Heart and Soul---
Art---Artistry---Ancestry
One finds these still in
Indigenous Ways---
Let us honor the
Indigenous Ways
Let us honor the
Handmade.

5 Cimi
White Overtone World-Bridger
On the Bridge
Between the Worlds
Radiant with Golden Light---
That shining
Passage
Beckons us to
move beyond
This Third
Dimension---Duality
Into Fourth and
Fifth
Where Unity holds
sway
Life is Light and Truth---the Way
Here Miracles are
Natural
Time and Space collapse
Into the Piercing
Present---
Upon this sacred
Crossing
Angels dance with
us and sing---
Our Bodies become Light---
Bright with brilliant feathered Wing.
