The Dealt Cards...

The Dealt Cards...

Each day a new game

Never really the same

Time and chance play a hand

'Tis faith that calls command

A vision, a winner, a goal to set the stage

A lucky card to draw players of any age

Money made, money lost, and on goes the bet

Play it hard, the game is not over, not over yet.

APOGEE Poet

You are the Eternal Universe - Alan Watts

Proclaim along with me ...

I AM the rising and setting sun
I AM the waxing and waning moon
I AM the ebb and flow of the tides
I AM the inhalation and the exhalation
I AM the giving and the receiving
I AM the challenge and the quest
I AM the light and the shadow
I AM the past and the NOW
I AM I, the Ascension Manifest
I AM blessed BE,  Birth Eternal.

In Creation's Grace,

Day Beckons ~ Autumn Light

day beckons to the night

and dons the sky in strokes of light

the setting sun in majestic array

the breath of beauty at close of day.

Autumn Light

Autumn Light 

majestic be this alchemy of light

golden hues of the calling night

nature's palette in expression divine

the grace of change and passing time

be I this moment in heart's embrace

the splendor of ALL within to place.

September Sun ... This Early Fall Day...

The warmth of the September sun I do feel
Whispers of the changing season this day to reveal
Vibrant strokes of crimson upon dogwood tree leaves
Taken alight by this day's gentle caressing breeze
A calm resolve, Summer's bloom hushed in fulfillment array
Trees, brush, fields of green, readied for the Fall parlay.

BEYOND...

BEYOND...

LIVE the moment, heed Spirit's call

Within each breath, the giving, the receiving, the ALL

Change be it known, the drama, the resolve, the grace

Truth within our hearts to place

Shadows to reveal

The light of self BEYOND conceal.

The song... the music... and poetic dialogue...

Performance of September 3, 2014

Union Arts Center

Sparkill, New York

Marc Farre... song and poetic dialogue

hear this sounding proclamation of BEING

here I AM

night prayers, the loss, the memories

the dream awake... accord, accord, accord

the search prevails

within the melody of heart

one of these days

again it be known

the dark night

the small town

ever lost, ever found

sounding echo

hand and heart in love's refrain

a greeting 

a farewell

all to entreat passions known

heart free, heart free, sweet George

accord, accord, accord.

Alula... the music... in poetic dialogue

hear I the flutter of wings soaring

heart strings sounding

fly free

the heartbeat of the brilliant sun

the flow flow of the river

towering trees that hold the light

orchestrated hues of the setting sun

sounding sounding be the splendor

the ALL of mind, as too, rain drops

drifting, drifting, drifting

time beckons, the moon is rising

we are, we are, the calling

voices of heart in gentle refrain

the light enfolds its own magic

dream, sweet light dream

on our way

on our way

sweet, sweet journey

sweet, sweet journey.

Saturday Hour in Tappan, New York

Darkened be the sky at this afternoon hour

Grass, bloom, branch and bough

Touched by the rain

'Tis libation's vow

Waters welcomed they be

Felt is the delight of field and tree

The sound of rain a melody sweet

The ALL of above with earth to greet

And when the sun to shine anew

Echoes of green graced on to you.

September 11, 2001

A decade plus three years have gone by

Since horror besieged that September 11th sky

A morning that yet echoes lament and loss real

Tears, heartache, shock, beyond all conceal

Time alone does not ease the grief and pain

For the inward scars of loss long long remain

Deep within, a loving wise, to hold, to embrace

Memory of our loved ones within heart we place

In dedication, in honor, and with everlasting love

Blessed BE the souls that dwell within heavens above.
