Red Lunar Earth/ Electric Deer Moon of Service, Day 18

 

2 Caban

 

Red Lunar Earth

 

Sing---blue Globe of Light

Sing each Day---each Night---

These phases less absolute

Than merely Shadow-Play

 

Sing---shimmering Earth -Soul

Sing of a Time just in Time

When the Voice of the Turtle

Is heard in the Land

 

Sing---holographic Hieroglyph---

Play out the Play which spins

The Fear of Death

Into the Death of Fear

 

Sing---Elements of Quintessential Peace

Music---Laughter---Joy---Grace

Sing until all Borders

Fade without a Trace

 

Sing---cerulean Jewel of Glory

Sailing down a Golden Dawn

Sing---sacred Ground---Sky and Sea

Sing----precious Pearl of Mystery.

Yellow Magnetic Warrior/ Electric Deer Moon of Service, Day 17

 

1 Cib

 Yellow Magnetic Warrior

 

You slew the Messenger---

You killed the Angel

For her Light---

 

My Love---

When most I needed you

You murdered me

Outright.

Blue Cosmic Eagle/ Electric Deer Moon of Service, Day 16

 

12 Men

 

Blue Cosmic Eagle

 

My Heart is fragile

Agile in her Musings---

Full of Adhesions

Doubts, Fears, and Reasons

To withdraw---

 

I learned to love on a Battleground

Where volatile Mines

Were set down to trip

Me into Conformity---

 

I lost small Pieces of my Mind

In Hell-bent Skirmishes out of the Blue---

Always poised to defend myself

I danced with the Devil on the Front Lines---

 

Resistance sent me Underground

But the Devil claimed his Due---

I laid down my Soul in Surrender

To a Power I hardly knew---

 

I lost that Battle but won the War

Therein lay my Victory---

When I died to Death my Life was born

My Story began telling me.

White Crystal Wizard/ Electric Deer Moon of Service, Day 15

 

12 Ix

 

White Crystal Wizard

 

Ancient Stones

Initialed

With Lichen

And Moss

Mark the Passage---

 

Nature sculpts

The Testament

Bequeathing Color---

Changing Hue

On Ivy, Rock

   And ancient Wood---

 

Toadstools sit

Haphazardly and violet

In the Musk

As I wander in the Graveyard

Through an autumn Dusk.

10/3/2025 Red Spectral Skywalker/ Electric Deer Moon of Service, Day 14

 

11 Ben

Red Spectral Skywalker

 

We escaped!

From City to Desert Wilderness

We escaped!

From blaring Cacophony

To Silence and Birdsong’s

Sweet Liberation---

 

Through Air clear as Glass

I see Mountains green---

Now I am calm  

 While Aspens rustle

 In the turquoise Dusk---

Now I am serene

Like the Night.

Yellow Planetary Human/ Electric Deer Moon of Service, Day 13

 

10 Eb

Yellow Planetary Human

 

Up drove I  through the border Towns---

Texas towns of Wind and Heat

 Dust unto Dust

 

Up drove I from a Valley of Death---

Border Patrols---screaming Sirens---

Burly men searching for “Wetbacks”

 

Crossing the Rio Grande---

Swimming for their Lives and Children

Braving Cold---Darkness---Barbed Wire---Death

 

Cops everywhere in those Texas Towns---

Armed and dangerous Vigilantes

Looking for Reasons to kill

 

Small brown People

Gentle and proud

With Hope greater than Fear---

 Nothing to lose…

 

Up drove I through ghost Town after Town

From Palm to Mesquite---

North I came when Night descended

Looking for Shelter---none to be had----

 

Every Lad from the Oil Fields

With Pockets full of Cash

Filled every Space---sold out---locked down

No Room at the Inn for

                   Brave brown People or me.

Blue Solar Monkey/ Electric Deer Moon of Service, Day 12

 

9 Chuen

 

Blue Solar Monkey

 

Amid the glossy Steel and engine’s Roar

I saw his Eyes point blank---

 

Blue like Skies---Jay’s Wing -- Ocean Water

In the Sun that set as we flew north

From Warmth, carried on a soft Wind

 

We sat in antiseptic Splendor

On a Plane of Strangers---

In Time we broke the Barrier to Sound---

Decided that we’d found

Too much to speak of to let go---

 

“No”---suspend the Night and Day

Escape from Pain, seek Peace, delay

Your Flight and stay with me---

I heard his Plea

Asking that I change my Course

Rearrange my Night and Day

For him

 

I uttered my Reply

Dared not deny myself the Instinct

Too long held captive, Wings clipped---

Not allowed to fly

 

 The Jewel of that March Night

Shimmered with our Heat and Light---

Our Bodies fused---

Desire keenly felt

And tightly wrapped around us

 

Is this my Fate---

My Destiny incarnate?

Bronze Strength---blue Fire

Cool green Mountain Shade

On white hot Desert Sand

 

My dear One---

My Atlanta one Night Stand.
