Until the Falsehood Disappears Sleep now my soul and fly the bonds of time, The blessings of the night to comfort you. Soar out from the restricting walls of flesh In the sanctum of the spirit's peace, renew. For love that labours unconvinced of death Shall solace find, complete the work undone, Pain shall fade and grief still unconsoled In the great adventure towards the inner sun. Shall we not dwell one day in Beauty's hour, The code of darkness under which we live Reprogram and the hidden self empower, Know desire as a palliative Refuse the edict that we must grow old And the daunting prospect of the failing yea

Song of Sorrow 2009 I looked upon the vastness of the sea But all the years of wanderlust had fled The breaking waves recalled to memory The day I cast the ashes of my dead. Across the pale blue waters sailed my dreams Of youth, of hope and possibility, The tears no longer rivulets but streams. There were years of an undying unity As two souls journeying through love once found The spirit's contemplative higher ground And felt as one the coming world to be.

Time March 12, 2012 Time will allot us time to seek and grow And given time enough we may exceed Our sorrows and our longing for the past. And though old memories still dwell in us Like phantom presences that dog our steps Impeding the future that we walk towards, Like a karmic knot, frayed but still unshorn Binding us to deeds we would forget, Still are we the children of the Light, From Light we came, towards greater Light we grow.

Eternity of You Have we not walked upon this earth before Did we not share the silence of the sky, Walked undaunted through the open door Of life, its wonder and its mystery? We dove into the stillness of the sea, Above you winged the giant manta ray, You swam alone in your infinity And watched this coloured nether world at play. I remember how I looked into your eyes And felt my soul upborne in ecstasy So soon you answered the call of Paradise And I am left as on a barren lea Planting flowers of a brighter hue Alone in my eternity of you.

Love Once Found The great hands have turned another year And I look back, not forward as I must Hold sacred the remembrance of things dear And beauty that once wedded me, now dust. A single path we found as ours to pace And under foreign skies that were our own, For love is an eternity of grace A field of flowers, fragrant, richly sown. I cannot speak for those who walk alone, Not knowing if love's fire burned as mine, But this I'll say, not more, now love is gone, Her coming was a gift the more divine For that we grew as one above all pain, Such love once found shall find itself again.

Know Eternity Again The poetry of earth is lost, Compromised the hope of man; A painful ending, laughter forced The overriding lesson-plan Of a species in its dying throes. All our treasured lofty aims Lie fallen in dust to decompose. Forgotten are the saviour names, The labour and sacrifice of soul Of martyrs and enlightened seers; And earth seems mindlessly to roll Abandoned mid the whirling spheres. Religions now a sterile breed Emptied of their inner force And we who fatten on our greed Have lost the compass and the course. Shall man then die, his body hurled Among the ruins he has wrought, Is there st

I Must Be Where has my tomorrow gone, And what has happened to today, Silent is the telephone, Alone I ply my destined way. Yesterday is but a dream The future too far to contemplate, My life a leaf on fate's swift stream, The present already is too late. So I shall live the moment through Nor count the hours passing by, And all my thoughts shall be of you Each second live but live to die To all the past, for I must be Other than what now I see.

Remembrance of the Heart If the remembrance of the heart remains When mind is swept away in whirls of thought And the vital is enamoured of itself, If the thread of higher consciousness is caught It is enough, we shall outlast time. The mighty and the fallen and the proud All enter through the selfsame door at birth And when the furrows of our lives are ploughed The grains of small accomplishments are sown And reaped the meagre harvest of our days We all leave at the last through death's small door And venture into unknown realms of space. But those who keep upon their lips the Name Smooth passage find to islands of the b

The Soul^s Embrace.htm The Soul's Embrace I witnessed once an ancient soul's embrace When death, the cancer, on my mother came. It was a moment of unspoken grace In this eternal, enigmatic game. I gave her oxygen and when she cried Injected Demerol to ease her pain Then witnessed that which cannot be denied, A miracle I may not see again. Immobilized now as death steals in the room She turns her head and love pours from her eyes, Smile dispelling all the Shadow's gloom Blesses my father and slowly, sweetly dies. With her final breath a heavenly perfume nears Filling the room; our hearts from sorrow cease Banished is the spilth of human tears Fo

Will There Come a Day April 1, 2012 See the dancer in a classic pose Elegant, unstrained and calm her face, Heedless of pain, weightless on her toes Radiant, a symbolled form of grace. Now the boxer bloodied in defeat Rises slowly from his canvas bed, The scorn of all his followers to meet And yet for these he bravely fought and bled. Comes the matador in his suit of lights To brave the onslaught of the maddened bull, In this cruel sport the thirsty crowd delights And
