To reconcile the Day.

2 Imix
Red Lunar Dragon
I am a Poet
In a soul-less 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 soon and close 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.

The original Time Code.

Grandmother Spider weaves
While Space/Time waits----
Preparing for re-birth

Descending then to Earth
Held by Threads invisible

Holding Codes of Origin
Binding us to Fate.

11 Caban
Red Spectral Earth
Passing through a new galactic Beam
Earth liberates herself from Civilization’s
Chaos---
Systems collapse; Economies dissolve; false Values fade
Beneath Waves of Time run Rivers and Roots---
Aboriginal/ Indigenous Sources of Wisdom
Where Time holds natural Laws---where Time is Art
While dancing around the Sun
Earth shakes off deadly, useless Ways---
Human Souls shine again
All we require to thrive lives
Between Earth and Sky---
Love for the Earth, our Mother---
Love between You and I.

6 Eb
Yellow Rhythmic Human
Into the Light, she moves
From Darkness---from Chaos
Carried on a Flute and Drum---
Her Fire transforms Water
Into Earth and Air
Music builds the Waves
Upon a Sea of Sound---
Dancer in the Mist---
Cymbals sing---Sequins flash
On quivering Feathers and Flesh
Joy floats upon her Smile
She lifts the Rhythm
From Hips to Hands
So full of Grace the Heart aches
In its serpentine Race to Soul.

5 Chuen
Blue Overtone Monkey
By crafting Illusion into Law
One creates Belief and Awe
Myriad Structures appear---
At Whim and Will they disappear
This Play of Life and Death
Amuses and confuses us entirely
Yet One who knows transcends the Logic,
Sensing the Truth of essential Magic.
