Mother of Mine Come not to me when I feel pure But in my darkened spirit’s state, All life’s discords I endure And through the ages I shall wait To feel your hand upon my brow As I kneel before you incomplete Until the moment when I know That you are all and touch your feet. Come not to me when I am old My body weakened and in pain, The hearth untended, the fire cold, But come to me as I was then Young and joyous in your room, Stunned to silence by your smile Dispelling fear, dispatching gloom, Where I lived eternity awhile. Come now to me, my soul cries out Rework this fading sketch of man. Mother of mine, forget me not And

Songs of Praise Oct. 30, 2010 I watch the swallows skim the silent lake The welcome call of all the earth drifts by My soul sees all and I from silence take The song of OM, my chant of destiny. Silver notes upon the wafting breeze And golden tones plucked on golden strings The music in the roots of towering trees These strains of hope that every sunrise brings. Far now from me the frigid winter nights And crystal patternings of ice on glass The snow descending on the dim street lights, My crackling steps upon the frozen grass. No more to hear the snow-clad branches break Or sledding down with dangerous glee the hill For in the heat o

In Her I found the Key And when she walked I saw in all her steps The countenance and beauty of a queen, For here was one unvisited by grief An Olympian calm in her was felt and seen Gathered in a body built for bliss; Not of our human joys that fleeting move Like spectres floating through a fog of night, Hoarding like misers the penury of love. Her smile could kindle a flame in human hearts, Her voice a song of Paradisal spheres Heard in the listening spaces of the soul. In her I found the key to those lost years Of wandering in lands that held me bound To earthly life and the lure of siren calls That in the darkest passages resound

A Unity Divine 10 June 2010   Our insincerity is showing through Like a threadbare garment soon to be disposed, Covering a body old and worn. One looked upon the world and saw the hand Of evil strike the innocent and meek Hoping that earthly life might disappear Or as subjects live, the nether forces pawn. He knew that earthly life might disappear As former worlds more advanced than ours. Then by the force and vision of the Seer A mighty race was born to uplift man In bodies built of bliss, these souls of light Come down to lead him in his darkest hour. Impervious to death, divine and pure, Man in form, yet more than man, above All fear th

This Sacred Home December 20, 2010   Radiant was the morning of my birth Radiant the stars who guided me Radiant my days upon this earth Radiant our human destiny. Many are the faults that trouble us, Many the disharmonies of life Many the years we count of labour and stress Many the years of turmoil and inner strife. How shall the child transcend the animal man, How shall man find a higher law of being, How shall the world admit a diviner plan How shall our souls by an inner seeing Reveal the truth that dormant in us lies, Reveal the beauty that is still to come Reveal on earth the dream of Paradise Reveal the light within this sa

The Hour of God Begins Sept. 26, 2010 What if two angels drifting down Alighted in this sleepy town Where all seemed calm as a windless day, The hedges clipped, the grasses mown. And what if they, curious now To understand the why and how Of life and death in this great play, Saw the frightful undertow Searing hated and genocide The greed in which we take such pride, And arrogant mind’s vain display, Blind to the advent of the Bride. Yet one who cares allows us leave To believe in Him or disbelieve While dressed in cloaks of black and gray, In empty houses widows grieve, The relentless violence and deceit And the sound of te

A Golden Day Oct. 2, 2010 You weep now but the fire will grow In the heart’s love its flames shall rise As you recall all that you know Of one who blossomed in your eyes As friend, beloved, soul to soul Who leans down in your misery To fashion diamonds from the coal Of life; so follow your destiny That one day you may reunite, Comrade spirits of the Way, As the light of dawn disperses night In the beauty of a golden day.

Towards the Truth-Light 19 September 2010 Perhaps before the final chapter’s end I may attain a modicum of peace, A settled will, a deepening love to rend The past that pain-filled memories might cease. The path before me endless seems and I Through centuries experience the hard And obdurate recalcitrance still try And limp through days blindly seeking God. Yet One abides with me or I would fall, Alone my strength would fail for the Unknown Looms vast, I hear the siren voices call – How little through these many lives I’ve grown. I live in greyness, round me all is grey And yet the candle of the spirit burns Throu

What She Ordained for Me Oct. 29. 2010 I have wandered lately through an empty hall And not a backward glance could I refuse The future loomed so far and I so small Burdened by the past I could not lose. I seemed to be in stasis, could not move Or lift this self towards undying love For Her in whom world will turn divine; I knew that I was meant to seek the goal, The world of light and joy seemed destined mine Calling through the dimness to my soul. The hour beckons and the Force has grown, Its power every face of falsehood shown Yet counsels patience so a Mother's kiss Might waken all that is asleep in me. And when I pray I pray alo

Mystic Morning Dec. 2010   In the mystic morning of my soul’s rebirth I came again to my beloved earth, A journey sanctified by aeons past, From a world of loveliness and forms that last Beyond the boundaries we now call death. O what wonder dawned at my first breath, Ignorant, unknowing and divine. Years would pass before I saw the sign And found Her whom I sought in joy and pain Returning to her arms once again. This I tell you, this I surely know Outside of Her our spirit’s cannot go Or lose the light divine for which we came, Upon our lips to chant the sacred name.
