Stars Bow To God

MOON RISING



Glows bright moon ascendant

with sunrays descendant

She floats..  chainless pendant

on night's throat resplendent



(to the fans of Mark Braunstein, author

of Radical Vegetarianism)





SCORPIO AND CANCER ELEPHANTS



Elephants petition

to remove themselves

as symbols of the

party of elephant

butchers.



Even among all

elephants with phenomenal

memories, scorpio

and cancer elephants

amaze.



DANCER



He born neath

the stars of cancer

ended his search..

and knew the answer

when he met

the

Piscean dancer.



CANCER HEALER



She has seven water signs, five

in cancer.

She is a great healer, taking

on much karma of others.

Sometimes she has not known

what dreams good and bad

are hers, and which are from

those she has healed. She

has asked God for discernment

and a shield.

The river cannot always

know which is the river and

which is the tributary. Others'

auras

flow into hers.



GRAND SQUARE



"Death to water" said

the grand square

of fire and earth and air

but she emerged

from this purifier

more translucent with

the sun's glowing fire



SHEILA CRAB



Sheila the cancer crab is shelled.

She'll surely need her shield

to guard from the shored..

those who do not hallow

her shelter in the shallows

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Srila Prabhupad said
that Krishna was conceived in the womb
of Devaki as the rising
moon in the East
mysteriously catches
the rays of the setting
Western sun

Sai Baba: Why does
the dead ball moon
shining with stolen
light have more power
on earth than the
infinitely larger
self lumniscent stars?
Proximity

(Baba's words paraphrased)
