With an Image Here and There

At the Pyramid Capstone Imagine if you can, imagine if you will, That moment in the dark desert when the sun Shone its first ray that touched the capstone of gold On the pyramid announcing that a new day had begun. So too can it be for us today When we build our own pyramid within And the inner sun rises and touches the tip Of the capstone of gold you struggled so hard to win. Then out of world darkness you’re welcomed inside Of all previously known only from the outside. 11/2/12 Two Directions, One Destination Truly there are some well-ripened fruits And if one is squeezed quite gently, The seed will pop out and then the split Can be closed once again quite carefully. Now imagine you are the seed popped out, Once inside and now separated, And bearing the power that brought forth the fruit Before from it you were  emancipated. So now as a perceiving and thinking seed Your origin you’ll have the urge to know, So you’ll seek a way into the fruit once again Through the birth mark that will still faintly show. But truly the same origin can be found no less By the journey inward to seed beingness. 12/17/09 It’s True Because... Popped out of the fruit of the World Tree Was the nature seed of me, And I was potentialled for nothing more Than again such a fruit to be. But something special then happened The source of the World Tree then came And entered me so I could produce A tree and fruit not at all the same. So out of the old I’m now sprouting the new And becoming like the One who makes all of this true. 10/25/12 Fragrance Begins with Seeding Perhaps you have dreamt of the Garden of Wisdom Where the Fragrance of Love fills the air. Perhaps you want now a gardener to become And create such a garden so fair. But your own seeds of love you must first plant in the earth Before the fragrance of love in your garden has birth.                  7/1/11

Finally There Comes the Schoolroom of Choice A mother’s heart is the child’s first schoolroom* Then other schoolrooms come along, And they have teachers who give knowledge and guidance As prepared is the student to make him quite strong To enter the world, which is a schoolroom, too, And life itself is there the man’s teacher With others who will be striving like him As they work on their destiny and their future. But there’s still one more schoolroom I can freely choose Whether I will to or will not to attend, And that is the schoolroom where the teacher I find Is my higher self  in the realm that is without end. And if I allow him to become the teacher of me In the realm without end as one we will be. (*Henry Ward Beecher 1813-1887) 11/13/12 Time To Enter Time The materiality of the world And with it the dimension of space, Together make a corpse and a coffin And this is something that we need to face. And by that is meant that the time has come That we proceed without hesitation, To get on with the funeral so that we can then Prepare to bring to it a slow resurrection, Which we can accomplish through the bread and the wine, Which means following Christ Jesus out of Space into Time. 11/30/12 On Return, Never Alone When Death leaves his Kingdom He’s ever alone, But always with another He returns home. 8/10/10 Together Radiating The outer sun shines down upon The golden crown of me, And reflected is the sun from my gold, Reflected most gloriously. But in my crown I’ve a jewel And it’s of the highest worth, And it was to attain this splendid jewel That from heaven I came to Earth. And this stone is crystal clear absolutely And reflects the sun not at all, For it is the stone that can radiate light When set free in the heart where it’s now held in thrall Awaiting my coming to freely set it free So together we can radiate and a new world bring to be. 11/17/13
