DREAM MESSAGES

Radiant dreams are messages
in a bottle washed upon our shores
from the ocean of God
They are nightscript,
their guidance seeded by angels.

GRAPES OF CONCORD HAVE ALL CONQUERED

The grape vine's love
has the junk yard conquered
.. greenpeace-ing its metal
with grapes of concord.

Sooner or later
does God's grace
above our mistakes
weave green lace.

Across the way
the seed of a morning glory vine
began ultraviolet to entwine.
She grew over bottle shards
and twisted metal cars
.. every barrier she
used as a staircase on which
to climb..
everywhere she turned
windshields shattered
into nonviolent violet..

BEEHIVE IN LION CARCASS

Leo is transfigured.
As if to an airport,
bees come and go
from their hive
within the lion's carcass.
Ego dead, only sweetness remains
with the Invulnerable Fires of Love.

RUNWAY MODEL

For love the model forsook the runway
From that shallow world she did run away.
Her love awaited at the airport Monday ..
and that eve they taxi'd down the runway.

MASKS FALL AT THE MASKED BALL

Black hair pokes from
the corrupt white wigs of 'high' judges.
Grey hair peeps from the
sheep's clothing of wolves.
Blonde hairs of a villain actor protrude
from the disguise of the Indian hero he plays.
Red hair falls beneath the mask
of a Don Juan at the masquerade ball.

BLACK HOLES WITHIN SUN AURA

The sun looked down
and saw dark spots
within his aura..
He was upset until he realized
that his light blanket spread over all
even the most resistant black holes.
Yet all would come to light.
Yet all would come to light.

RESURRECTION DRYING TIME

Birds molt their feathers.
A snake sheds his skin.
A chambered nautilus
moves into a new room.
The butterfly has emerged
from his cocoon.
Drying time is needed
for his new winged costume.

KWON YIN

Divine Mother love is
a liquid which takes
the form of each vessel
which holds it
whether Mary, Kwon Yin,
Ananda Mayee Ma or
that of infinite mothers
and nurturers.

Wherever is Kwon Yin,
mercy reigns.
Wherever she is,
compassion rains.

She loves
beings all
including
the powerless, the 'least'
and most small,
those in agonizing pain.

When she protects her
loved ones from cruelty
she can be
Kwon Yang.

UNMOLESTED IN THEIR SHELLS AND HOMES

She lay on the floor of the
airplane sick from
food poisoning:
the anaphylactic shock
of shellfish toxins.

Unlike some others
she recovered
from their
coprophagous* ways.

Because human waste
is dumped into the
sea
from many
municipalities
shellfish can also
transmit hepatitis
to me or to thee.

One man pulled in
his lobster trap
and was given pause
to find toilet paper
in one lobster's claws.

Underreported is
the accumulation
of carcinogenic
radiation in the flesh of
creatures of the sea.
from illegal secret nuclear
waste dumping
internationally.

Mercury in fish
harms the memory of the brain
with arsenic, chromium, pcb's
pbb's and thousands of other
toxins in its train.

There are worms even
in Rocky Mountain trout.
To see fish flesh under
microscopes
would elicit frightened shouts.

Do shellfish have a right
not to be dropped alive
into boiling water
before they meat human knives?

Fish and shellfish
cannot scream
to protest the busting
of life dreams.

Those who leave
them alone in their shells
are less likely to
experience
sickness from hell.

Coprophagy is eating the waste of other beings.

2 COMMANDMENTS

The word of Jesus says
we must love our enemies.
The word of God says we must
love our neighbors as ourselves.
It follows that those who accept
the above 2 commandments
must love their enemies too as themselves.
For most of us this is an Everest
we only gradually.climb.

EACH WAY AND ALL WAYS

The loving sun is smiling
on each way and all ways
each day and always
Divine winds can blow away
and divine showers rain away
my selfspun clouds
my selfknitted shrouds.

CANYON CRAYONS

In the empty grail
of the rivercarved Grand Canyon
dawn has drawn with
gold pink and
orange light crayons.

but snowflakes do not last in a furnace.
We are all influenced by
the company we keep.

Released from jail in the ark
the windlifted wings of the lark
On the bluest page of sky
"I love you" wrote
with invisible arc.

Angels aiding souls
help us gain control
as ants help unroll
the purple peony's scroll.

We, Rainbow Catchers,
stand between the brilliant setting sun
and His projected Promise.

HATE'S NEW RIVAL

of hate's new rival....
Pink dawn approaches
Night fears for his survival

The bubble begins to emerge
from the bubble blowing spear
but not til it leaves.. without fear
will it be a perfect sphere.

BEETHOVEN

Now the Red Sea of clover
is harmlessly bee-cloven
But back to Queen Lover
will fly bee Beethoven

ILLUSION OF HAVING BEEN HARMED

As a deluded sword
thinks it slices
beams of the sun
or cleaves the sea
so do the unforgiving
believe they have been harmed.

CLEMENCY

May we all give
each other clemency
as polluted rivers are made pure
in the clement sea.

HEAVEN ABOVE HELL ON EARTH

Above the dawn
breaks forth
in pink, saffron and yellow,
lavender, aqua, and rose
but there're only brown mud,
green gangrene, black dead trees
and scarlet blood
in the battlefield below

GOD DOES IT ALL

The grapes need ask no juice from
the stem.
Water flows to the vine
automatically from the Divine..
The mother need not
knit the baby womb-bound.
God is doing it without seams
while she sleeps, while she dreams.
The blood need not petition to flow
The breath need not ask
to go to and fro.
The flowers do not spin.
God's sun does for them the spinning.
When we're tired and can not run
God's already each race been winning.

BLUES ARE VIOLET

When day's azure blues
become eve's purple hues
then 'violets are blue'
becomes blues are violet.

VENUTIAN NOT MARTYR

He preferred to be a venutian
rather than a martyr...
to conquer through love rather than
by attracting the violence of mars.

kangaroos
6 million annual
Aussie

where go the shells?

FAITH MOVES MOUNTAINS

"Faith moves mountains."
Truth soars over them
at the speed of light.

THE FERTILIZED EGG OF NIGHT

The fertilized egg of night
cracked at daybreak.
Scars of scarlet
swam
in the earth's
frying pan.

WAR COLORS

The artist loved to create
sunny paintings full of light ...
rainbow swaths of saffron and lemon..
aqua and lavender and pink.
But his thoughts of the illegal insane
war... were of
green gangrene
and brown mud
red anger
and gray despair

LILIES OF THE VALLEY

Lilies of the Valley
are a very different thing
from the Lillys on the Hill

RAIN ARROWS

Do rain arrows
come from the rain-bow?
his band a poststorm sign
that his weapon has
been put down?

BUBBLES

The sea decants
her special tide...
foaming bubbles
on the rocks

No charge
No foul
On the house

HEALING IS GOD'S PROJECTION

Healing is God's projection
in us all of His own perfection.

DOGS RETURN GOOD FOR EVIL

One cannot forfeit
love from canine fourfoots
who respond to blows
from the violent
with unconditional love.

ANGELS OF LILACS

Sunshine, rainshowers,
windfans and earthblanket
have nurtured and loved
the seed of lilac.
growing to her purple fragrance
her roots have not lied in lack.

SNOWDROP LAKE

The clarified waters
of Snowdrop Lake
are made of melted
hexagonal snowflakes.
The heart unfrozen
with new love flows
as new soulspace
does forgiving make.

OASIS OF ORDER

Lives can be in chaos
but in the writing of words
is an oasis of order,
a garden of peace
away from harsh traffic
noise.

SNAPDRAGON BITE

As fearsome
as the bite
of a snapdragon
is the anger of a saint.

VALEDICTIONS

As they melt away,
all icy maledictions
flow into
gracefilled valedictions.

DAWN'S BREAKING QUIET

Dawn's breaking quiet...
begets bees' buzzing riot.

though they are powerless,
unable to speak or move,
their leaves stolen.

WHITE DEER IN WHTE SNOW

Angelsent white winter snow
helped by North Wind's kindly blow
veils the white hunted doe
from her bow and arrow foes.

DR STRANGELOVE



As Peter Sellers

playing Dr Strangelove

would with his left

arm keep lowering

his right arm's

heil..

so did the paid pawns

in the media

occasionally forget

to hide the strings

of their puppet

masters



Before the people

prevailed over

the petroplutocracy



LILACE



How do evening's

lavender and violet

in the fragrant lilac distill?

and Who makes the perfume

which out of them spills

and Who decides when their

petals as lilace

will the treebase fill?
