Those They Hold Dear: Cancer

By the light of the moon
they move in the thousands
Each intent on its course
Each guided by ancient
instincts and the call of
the Mother to return home…..

A Fiercely Beating Heart- Taurus

Strength unmoved as dust swirls
around the stamping of hoof.
Fire rages in the heart and
coils of fevered breath move from
chamber of lung and throat,
weaving between air’s stagnant web.

I am earth, solid and great
in purpose and my strength
is held and guided by a heart that beats
fiercely to the rhythm of love.

I will stand my ground in
defense of the truths I perceive.
And,, if provoked will
charge with intent and
precise aim as I relentlessly
pursue the source of irritation.

Some would see me as impetuous
and easily stoked to irrational rage
And others would say I was immovable,
stagnant and set in my ways.

Both would be true
for my impetuosity comes
from being firmly grounded and
my grounding takes shape from
the flashes of inspiration I explore.

I am patient and I am persistent
as I move through life’s course.
And within my breast beats
a heart that holds the earth’s
wisdom and light deep within.

Seed of New Beginnings
time of sweet release
Breath of untainted newness
Tiny embers strewn beneath soft
blanket of newborn’s down.

Fingers dipping excitedly- eagerly in
all that can be found
Anticipation of new discoveries and
child-like innocence fuels the
thirst and inquisitive nature
of one who seeks a place
at the table of life’s experience.

All turn towards the promise
of life restored anew
And the quaternary of balance
infused with Luna’s light opens
the causeway after the challenge
of being is sealed.
All hold pause and heed the warning
of youth’s impetuous step
The fool, signaling the issuance of
travesty or achievement.

And, in the space of quiet calm
Between the contractions of labored new birth
The Universe holds vigil
As star and planet follow
Evolution’s plan~ held in the rapture
Of consummate union

Sparks of will come bursting forth and
sphere of cobalt radiance crowns slowly
Mother Universe suckles youth at her breast
as Father Time waits patiently
The Celestial wheel moves once again within
the primordial womb

Compassion spills and overflows
the oceans of my Soul
Each drop moving through
rivulets of prismatic depths.

A cadence of virtuosity as
fingers move in pizzicato
rhythm across ephemeral strings~
the sounds of empathetic release

Seeker of that which is
just beyond the grasp
slips like sand through
the funnel of glass measured time

And Devotion pools at the base
of sun-parched throats
that willingly endure the pain
to spare another the distress

Martyr and miracle
Saint and sacrifice
each flow in opposition
until the water clears
and the darkened path
of return is revealed
in the depths of mysterious
waters as compassion
fills my thirst-quenched
Soul.

Waters flow within the

circuitry of electric form
The aperture opens to
let in more light
and macrocosm stretches
beyond the horizon of gaze

Borne on wings of creative endeavor
and fervor for the unimagined
the space of physical being
soars above the fields
of that which is only
seen by the keenest of eyes

Fixed and unshakable
the swirlings of mind
coil out from the lower
reaches of the Divine
returning upon themselves
upwards towards the apex
of more refined Light

And, Man in all his
glory embraces the
Light body of another
yet to be realized –
but is seen through the lens
of the visionary
And, the word ‘namaste’
is uttered in the
Sacred Silence
