Blue Spectral
Night
As Mercury
Turns retrograde
Light transfigures Night---
Spectral Blue
dissolves
Into thirteen
Moons
Of purposeful
Dreaming---
Abundant Intuition
Liberation from Doctrine---
Ascend the Heights
of Soul
To seven Gates of
Pearl---
Transcend ego Consciousness---
Allow Nirvana to
unfurl!

White Planetary Wind
Light Beams dance
On Dappled Leaves---
Tall Trees
Whistle and hum
In the Breeze---
Spirit murmurs
On the Wind
In Tongues unnumbered as
Grasses sail and sway
Over a Turquoise Sea.

9 Imix
Red Dragons coil
Around the Earth----
Dimensional
Dichotomies sing us
Into Being and
Becoming
Ordaining Birth
Death and Rebirth
Both Poison and its Antidote as
The Dragon eats its
own Tail
Alchemical Symbol of
Soul’s eternal Paradox in Time
Intention carries us
From Cradle to Grave---
Love fills the Spaces in between
With Measures of
Rhythm and Rhyme.

8 Ahau
Yellow Galactic Sun
Dear Heart
Find the Center---
Your sweet saltwater Sea---
Clear and o’er-brimming
Sparks of Love
Burst into Flame---
White Tears ---Red Dust
Black Sun in my Throat
Throbbing like a Shaman’s Drum
Through this Age of Chaos
When Centers give way---
They cannot hold!
Boundaries collapse
And Walls also
Against this Gold alchemical
Within a Heart on Fire.

7 Cauac
Blue Resonant Storm
I move away from here to Her
Seeking inner Realms of Power
Distant Shores of Peace
Sometimes in the Night only I am---
Forgetting---fearing---crying to be
heard
Until Remembrance embraces me again---
I hear and then begin to listen
Hearkening to Voices in the Wind---
Murmuring Sounds of the Rain---
Storms recede---I remain
A celestial Mind in earthbound Dreams.

White Rhythmic
Mirror
My Lord, thou master Artist of all Time
Draw us together--- my true Love and
me---
Blend all disparate Hues with Line
sublime---
This Portrait mirrors our own Destiny.
Fill with Thy Light our Bodies in
this Frame
That we exalt Thy peerless Artistry.
Design within our Hearts’ eternal Flame
Allegiance, Balance, Faith, and Reverie---
Paint Joy and Kindness on a Canvas
clear
Assigning Form and Shape with expert Skill.
Allow a wondrous Palette to appear
Against Thy splendid Landscape of Good
Will---
Glory so great no Gallery can hold---
We spring to Life and break the
ancient Mold.

Red Overtone Earth
Mars spins crimson
Under
the white hot
Solar
Wind---
The
Death of Mars serves
A cautionary Tale to Earth---
A
Story of Debts outstanding---
The
Asteroid Belt was
Born
from the Death
Of Planet Maldek---
Earth’s
Fate
Stands
on the Brink
Of
Karma unsettled---
That
Failure to transform---
By
a Journey without Distance
From
Head to Heart
Fear
into Love---
Ego
to Soul.

Yellow
Self-Existing Warrior
Within the Psyche
Lives an Archetype---
The exuberant Masculine
Who believes in Good
He who is certain and sure---
One who is wise
Unafraid of Death---
Some call him the Warrior Self
He is the Spirit Self---
A young Spirit
Who---regardless of Torment
Wounds and Exile
Continues to Love---
He honors the Red Road
To Self-healing,
Self-mending---
He follows the Road to
Soul.

On Eagle’s Wing
Take Flight---

2IX
White Lunar Wizard
Our Genius asks for Risk
To birth the sacred Daimon-—
For there
The Angels gather---
Seeds of Brilliance grow---
Planted before Origin---
Watered and fed
By Cries of the Heart---
Grow into prodigious Life---
Daimon requires the Rupture
Of mundane Existence---
When Kairos crosses Chronos---
Where Psyche meets Eros---
Dance into your Destiny---
Embrace Life’s Mystery
Drama, Joy, and Agony---
To be reborn into Destiny's true
Pattern and Harmony.

1 Ben
Red Magnetic Skywalker
Poetry rises like the Mist---
Aurora
Borealis* at
the northern Gate
Streaming new Mythologies---
Sound and Light incarnate
Look to the Moon
Her constant Inconstancy
Power transformed
Enchantment embodied
Civilizations deconstruct
Nascent Nation-States
Buy and sell themselves
Into Oblivion
Single-eyed Wotan
Wanders toward Bethlehem
Like the Cyclops, Polypheme---
Beast of Cruelty and Mayhem
Listen to your S(elf)---
Your shadowed Soul
Singing to you often
In a small Voice, soft
Attune to the Helix---
Radiosonic Matrix---
Song of the next Age
Spinning into Grace
Look to the new Time
A Vision that glows
On the far Edge of Destiny
Where the Tree of Life
Blossoms and grows.
*In northern latitudes, the effect is known as the aurora borealis (the northern
lights), named after Aurora, the Roman Goddess of dawn, and
the Greek name
for the north wind, Boreas.
