To Fashion the Future Humanity
I saw a light in darkness dwell,
The soul a beacon in the night,
And knew the body for a shell
Encapsulating God's delight.
With reverence I looked anew
Upon this miracle of man,
How in the body spirit grew
In concert with God's ageless plan.
No doubt remains within these walls,
This house of concealed divinity,
Awakened to His urgent calls
To overthrow our destiny
Of death in life, the God-force free
To fashion the future humanity.
Power of the Name
From astral distances a demon came
A monstrous form to steal the breath of life.
I could not loose his grasp to speak the Name
Yet in the battle's pitched and dreadful strife
A momentary respite came – I screamed
Mother! and instantly I felt release
His hands and nothing I have ever dreamed
Or thought or seen could wrest from me the peace
She brought, omnipotence and Love's disdain
Of death's grey pall to heal her child in pain.
How many times he came I cannot say,
From what unholy avenue arrived,
I only know this being lives today
In gratitude and by Her grace survived.

The Shining, Nameless Friend
Boldly lead my life, O Being
With the steps than cannot err,
On me visit the inner seeing
That reasons not nor needs infer.
Open wide the inner gate
Invite the Lord and Master in
For in His hands I place my fate
Who walks through sorrow, error, sin
Unmoved, untouched by earthborn care,
Supporting every fitful start
Hid deep within and waiting there
The Guide who never shall depart,
Far from us yet ever close
The silent One, the Avatar
Who is the sabre and the rose,
Igniter of the sun and star
Who lights our darkest vestibules
Severs the iron chains and bars
That shut us i

The Far Transcendences of Love
I've known the wine's extravagance
And found desire in the ways,
Lost the bloom of innocence
In the headlong rapture of my days.
But One who stood at the fiery gate
Encouraged me to boldly go
And seek my path yet consecrate,
Remembering the burning glow
She lit within this room of life,
Awaking the Sleeper from his dreams
Of worlds untenanted by strife,
To launch this craft on sunlit streams
And meet in perfect realms above
The far transcendences of love.
Mad Poets

O the fine-tuning of a phrase
By the poet elegant,
Or the employment of a word
Beyond the mind's extent.
How with such fluid ease
And mastery of line
They jog our eyes to sight,
Our knowledge redefine.
A Guardian is There
I watch the endless battering-ram of thought
That comes unbidden from our darker skies,
Bombarding the brain with senseless snatches caught
From world-waves that our ship of nescience plies,
And looking close begin to realise
That none of the meaningless wandering thoughts are mine.
I've opened to a stream of consciousness that flies
Wantonly, malicious or benign.
It is as if a radio were tuned
To every station simultaneously
Or the brain a fragile open wound
Exposed to all channels, attacked repeatedly.
The Realized ones have found the remedy,
To make of mind a calm reflective pool
That pebbles of wa

The Undiscovered Countries of the Soul.
God the Silent chambered deep within
Speaks to the inward heart abjures the ear
That catches only momentary din,
Or eyes purblind to heaven's atmosphere.
Fixed in earthly grooves and codified
Our bodies move in old familiar ways,
Mechanical reaction habit-tied
No greater law, no higher force obeys.
Yet shall we break the barriers we have built
To screen us from the view of the Unknown,
Across the crowded pathways of our lives
She comes to us to build the living throne
And seat the Godhead in this mortal space,
Reveal the secrets of the occult scroll
Of sacrifice that

To Mother - "The sun from which we kindle all our suns".
And when my voice refound shall sing again
It will not be the renderings of old,
Of love betrayed and human tragedy
And all our painful history retold,
Of numberless births and deaths and life's brief dream
And slow awakening from ignorance.
Because thou hast descended to our earth
My music shall hymn the supermind's advance,
No more shall songs of sorrow fill our lives,
Captivate and lead our hearts astray,
The requiems to pain and sacrifice
Shall yield to joy as surely as the day
Is born within the darkest womb of night.
And I shall writ

To Win the Soul's Release
A cloud of floating midges in the air
And scurrying life among the leaves of fall,
A new world grows omnipotent and fair
Amid the raptor's cry, the song-bird's call.
And we who tread the earth with upright stance,
Actors in a sacred mystery-play
Amongst Her highest creatures hardly glance
To view the soaring spirit's destined way.
We hold within our hearts an occult key
To wisdom and undying founts of love,
Harbour evil and divinity
And untold gifts bequeathed from worlds above.
What now remains to conquer, still must win,
The soul's release to usher godhead in.

The Spirit's Fields and Energies
There are definingmoments in our lives
And looking down the vista of the years
We see appear as on a distant marge
Events and personalities, the spheres
That informed our human acts and helped define
The being that we are and are to be.
We spot an indistinct and hazy shape
As on the blue horizon of the sea
That as we stare grows luminously clear.
In form and form appear before our eyes
The godlike souls, the children of paradise
Whose love invades this earthly atmosphere.
In the godlike beauty of their eyes we see
Grand and ancient souls inviting to seize
And tap the spirit's
