Remembrance of Her Gaze Sept. 25, 1970 All beautiful is that Thou hast touched Or looked upon or fleeting, passed; Eyes tearful now once held Thy gaze, A sun-burst in the infinite vast. Walled centuries surround the thought, A syllabus of desire's role; Life's yearning buds await the day When love shall flower over all.

Sacred Flowers - November 20, 1970 Surrounded by flowers of infinite hues Beguiling and charming the heart to adore, Temporal visions, mystical views The chrysalis soul, the hidden core.

Evolutionary Threads - April 1970 A metempsychosis in evolving time, A unity of unremembered births, A chain and link of fierce Promethean woe, An end unseen by a momentary veil, The numbing shadow cast by Truth's inverse, The search for That which latent lies within. In poem's mantra and in music's chant A timeless sculptor chisels tirelessly To evoke a hidden God from stubborn clay. The residue of former selves may serve In part to answ

WHEN... When the far calls near and the sound is heard Of silent songs in tones of gold, In tireless rhythms, rapture's dance, The one who treads divine with feet unscathed The burning breast of earth, the One For whom the ages yearn has come. O mighty hand, heal all our scars, And wipe the stain of tears from eyes That never clear could never see Thy Face, that makes of sun a moon, Reflecting Thy Omnipotence.

Of the Unspoken Things It is of the unspoken things I write; Of fragrances and essences distilled In morning's marbled air and evening's light, The pure desire, the heart that leaps in flame, The ardour of a soul to meet thee full And steady in thy blazing white and merge In thee, becoming thee, yet worshipping thee, Endless eons pass before thy feet.

Child of Day Sept. 22, 1970 Our mortal will cannot now suffice To wrest from mind its self-claimed dominance And throne the light of a new consciousness On Truth alone to this world where chance And fate decide as on a roll of dice Our destiny, our suffering, our doom. The Poet-seers who sing of flaming suns In mantric lines disperse the clouds of gloom, Their vision of an earth returned to grace And beauty wrested from the grip of night Builds in us the higher harmonies. And strength to draw us nearer to the light

Karmic Wheels - February 27, 1970 Receding thoughts in solitude to wait The final hour of my birth in Thee. And thwart the grieving lower members fate Who would stay the advent of Thy Victory. Time fades; galactic distances decrease; The seconds into treasured hours turn, A Calm surrounding all and infinite Peace, A thousand karmic wheels to still unlearn.

Prayer to the Divine Mother Vaulting the azure silences Paving the golden road Footprints of passioned stillnesses Approaching the sacred abode. Mother of aeonic vastnesses Galaxies spill from Thy hand We of the earth aspiring Call Thee from castles of sand. Moonleaps and star-woven tapestries, Cities metallic soon old, Impinge on the errant consciousness Our need for Thy fingers to mould Faces of aureate glistenings Eyes of a splendour untold, Bodies of crystalline purity Thy light within to hold.

Vision of the Divine Child - Nov. 20, 1970 Seated, throned in solemn dignity Upon the highest crests the messenger In stately clouds attired now arrives To counsel in our vague and errant lives. Descending now an air of thinner weave Is draped upon the verdant loom of earth. In centuried domains the silent stones Speak longingly in soft eroded tones. Embraced in lap of night the child of peace Sleeps cradled wakened not by violent throes Or storms upon the troubled seas of life. His light prepares and grandeur greater grows.

Prayer In The Meditation Room These are the currents of my life, Engulf them in Thy sea; The tangled threads of daily strife Reweave to image Thee.
