Prayer after Mother left Her body Prayer of the Soul - Nursing Home - 2 In moments alone when the cloud-bursts of God Thunder upon me pouring their rain I glimpse the being I am and must be. From the surging silence of a cosmic heart Wells the mighty cry, "Be done, Cast off smallness, temptation's lures, Choose the path for the tread of kings. Come to my Love as a flaming sword Piercing the heavens, tempered by the earth, Steeled in the disciplines yoga demands   ̶ A warrior weapon of my sun-bright days, Forged in my Presence, invincib

I Have Seen Her (Nursing Home).htm I Have Seen Her October 3, 1973 Nursing Home I have seen Her on the borders of my life And waited in the still and blissful shrine Sceptic when She entered through my heart And the mystic passage cleaved for the Divine. I knew then, I know now, yet test and test again That subtle entry winging on the call When all these strings of self would tune to Her And no discordant note could sound at all. Perhaps the hem of Her joyous raiment touches For I feel above the flow and flux, a flame, A joy press on the shell and hid within A corresponding

Beyond the Confines of the Mind Like a circus acrobat my tumbled mind Repeats the movements of forgotten lives, A well-trained juggler of too-familiar thoughts It seeks control of the form in which it thrives. The lower nature is a grappling beast Ravenous, impossible to please, Insatiable its appetite's demands We cannot mollify nor appease. Only when we rise above ourselves Its hunger can constrain, its energies, Its excessive hold on us begins to pall And from its nether pulls attain release. Hope not by force these darker needs to cease For struggle brings not lasting calm nor peace, We must abjure this 'sel

The Lord's Transfiguring Kiss.htm The Lord's Transfiguring Kiss In the mysterious hour of rose and purple sky Faint as a sigh when borne upon the breeze, Dusk arrived, the calm to amplify And settled, drifting down through silent trees. All the green and vivid growth in light Slowly sinking into eve's embrace Vanished from the realm of mortal sight And left a lovely fragrance in its trace. Darkness took its hold in strange delight And from its bed of soft creative ease Like spangles on the velvet cloak of night Issued forth its star-struck melodies. Choruses of cries disrupting peace Their raucous calls resound from limb to limb A symphony atonal w

Love^s Transforming Seed.html Love's Transforming Seed The golden-winged flit through the trees, The cuckoo echoes in the vales, The wind sings timeless melodies As my ship of soul forward sails. Green is the world, green on green A thousand shades delight the eye Through cloudless skies a vision seen Of an unfailing destiny Where earth the centrepiece for God Through the infinity of space Is like a great divining rod Calling souls to find a race Free of ego, free of guilt, Above the clutching hands of greed A dwelling place the Lord has built And planted love's transforming seed.

The Evolution of the Psychic Fire The children – wisdom in their eyes unsealed, Though unaware of life, to death unknown Play at kings and castles, knights and steeds Laughing with their golden tresses blown In the upstart wind, faces flushed like wine, Laboured breath as they fall upon the ground. No child's play this, there is a meaning hid In every game, in every child-like sound. The wise who see the spirit not the form Can trace with inner eye the soul's advance, The evolution of the psychic fire Through births unnumbered, in a second's glance, In callow youth see diviner man, The potentialities that in hi

The Full Illumination of the Soul Fitful rest as on these weary eyes Sleep passes over as a drifting cloud To linger only moments then the skies Are clear again and I am not allowed To enter those revivifying streams, And yet my spirit gains a certain peace Focused on a thought more real than dreams, Knows its destined journey will not cease Until the dawn for which it came is seen. The baggage of the mind must be disposed, The body learn to bear the light of change, For all must open that now is locked or closed And the sun of all our being rearrange These satellites in orbits of their own, Harness their universal energies

Live to Conquer Death When the black curtains of the night are drawn And the golden charioteer is seen no more I sail across the straits of sleep to find That other world of light whose silver door Inscribed with invitation to the soul Welcomes me as traveller and friend, To leave the little realm of life behind And gaze on diamond galaxies that wend Their way unerringly through vasts of space, To look upon this glory without end As a million suns vanish without trace, To know that all our stars have been ordained And then to see once more this blue-green earth Whirling through the darkest depths unstained And realize how small our dea

The Reign of Evil Ends April 8, 2011 Now the darkness fast descends, On earth the broken bodies lie Terrorism takes its toll Beneath an ever watchful eye That sees and knows and sanctions all Till evil from our hearts is gone And lifted is death's sombre pall, The Light of Truth on earth is won And the reign of evil ends.

In That Flaming Instant As a child alone on a hilltop boldly stands Believing he has conquered earth and sky, I was certain of my future's brilliant plans Filled with a vision of immortality. Yet even in my youth's most carefree hours Counsel I sought among the realized few Drawn to their inner strength and hidden powers Deeply I drank at their wisdom's fount and drew The sustenance of spirit to survive The arduous emergence of my soul. All that was given me I sought to give, For music sang in me, my life, my goal. I was called as the sea to the waiting shore Like earth beguiled by the waxing moon And knew the forest's
