On the Road to God April 17, 2014 Waiting in the morning to awake, The dreaming night persistent in the mind A thirst of soul these visions cannot slake. The seeing heart alone must pathway find As day must bridge the chasms of the heart The impenetrable mystery fill with light. And yet these co-joined twins live not apart, Together face the demons we must fight For of soul's constitution they are one. Now the dawn and evening put to rest And from entangled dark the brilliant sun Renewed hope brings to the spirit's inner quest. The challenge we must face is new-begun And though the outer life impose its will An inter

Reading Savitri by Candlelight August 24, 2014   Reading Savitri by candlelight I chanced upon a line that lifted me Beyond myself and then my soul took flight And reached the borders of infinity. I saw the stars harmonious and bright Blazing with the radiance of love, Striking out all darkness till the night Was filled with beauty and from those worlds above I dove into my body without pain And saw the earth anew, inhaled her air Grateful to touch the scented soil again Upon this spinning globe so blue, so fair. From consciousness to consciousness arise, Ye children of the dawn with diamond e

Kennedy   Where were you when Kennedy was slain And all the world in bitter sorrow wept. Could hope in human hearts live again When peace and truth in all the nations slept. His faults we knew, his trysts in open view, The failures of his presidency shown To those wished no change nor all the new Ideas among the young that he had sown. My mother waited for the local train Arriving in a soft and sleepy town I saw her face contort in searing pain; 'He's dead' she cried 'and we are left alone.' I knew that from the earth a light had gone A world that through him found the upward way, Prepared for all the battles to be w

The One in All April 16. 2014 All this life is marvellous and pain No more nor less than pleasure one might say, For all assumes its place when what we gain Is inner growth in stations on the way. Loss is terrible to contemplate, We are consigned to it, our human tale, And yet it's joy towards which we gravitate And love our foundation stone although we fail And fall at times and time and again must rise And bear the conflagrations of our past, For that which burns us also purifies And that which seems ephemeral shall last Beyond the setting of ten thousand suns. Self-pity is the most piteous state, Fo

The Terror Faction November 9, 2014 Darkness' forces in the world prevail And men to violence their souls align To Falsehood knowing not that they will fail. Of immanent defeat we see no sign, Embracing evil they rush to fill their role To counter the Truth now rising from the earth. When will we meet each other soul to soul Acknowledge the truth that all are blessed from birth. These enmities we hold from ages past Symbols of a deeply twisted will To subjugate the brother-foe at last And gloating hatred's eager coffers fill. No end can yet be seen of human hate. The eternal doors have opened to a few And all the gods and angels on us wait, T

Into the Troubled World of Man. May 5, 2014 "I have conquered death, not death itself The idea of death" Archaka said. And I have seen with vision's eye Walk inarmed the living and dead. We are continually born To live, to laugh, and what is death Who steals the body but the soul Escapes before the final breath, And rises silently to rest At peace in a supernal Light, To once again assume the form, Pinions descending in delight Landing with a diviner plan Into the troubled world of man.

The Avatar, the Seer June 21, 2014 Now the mind is stilled and slowly peace Descends in waves and I no longer know The road on which I've walked unconsciously In haste to find that place where I must go, To find the reason for my time on earth. A lonely road I travel and alone Must seek the inner light or careless fail. For what past sins my spirit must atone In these twilit years I catch a fleeting glimpse And wondrous lives long past and loves no more. For all I have achieved adds up to nil As I approach the hallowed open door. Who calls me by my name, invites me in? He who embraces me I know, revere, Before

-12_The Darkness before the Avatars^ Descent.htm The Darkness before the Avatars' Descent May 14, 2014 It follows us like a questing hound Sensing the nearness of its hidden prey Stealthily approaching with not a sound, Darkness pounces on last light of day. With burning eyes like chunks of glowing coal The silent creatures of the night return, Among them those who seek to steal the soul All goodness, loveliness and truth they spurn Savoring the evil of their way, Vampires not of flesh but a fiendish kind Who would rush to suck the marrow from the grey Obfuscated matter we call mind. Is there a way to enter into light As the unrepentant forces r

Progress of the Soul March 28, 2014 A break in continuity and why? The iron past refuses still to die And like the Gordian knot it must be shorn And all the human vestments we have worn Discarded one by one till none remain Save the body, conscious, without stain. The path is hard and transformation's hour Awaits its moment like a hidden flower Suddenly uncovered to the eye Of one who sees, unburdened, destiny Approaching in the secrecy of night And looks in awe upon the face of Light.

To Find My Soul May 6, 2014 A strange light appeared upon the lake, The steel-grey water rippling in the wind Seemed to symbolize our darkened state. We cannot see the golden rays behind Sleet's flashing silver arrows that swiftly pierce The tranquil beauty of the motherland. I think of all the wars now raging on Rampant greed and motives well concealed Midst the sombre atmosphere of murky skies. Phantasmagorical this world of men. Are we more real than all this shifting scene Who harvest kernels of truth in falsehood's fields? I came for this, not more and nothing less, To find my soul still hidden in ego's veils.
