The Leaf That Glistens

Gems of color in glorious array to behold

Crimson, gold, russet, Autumn’s story told 

Fluttering leaves now blanket the ground

As above, so below, gifts of grace be they found

Alchemic be the magic of each season of grace

Leaves taken by the winds of time hold sacred a place

Golden be the leaf that glistens in the November sun

Blessed be all who behold the message of the ONE.

Egg of Gold

Alchemic be this egg of gold

Treasures within it does hold

A golden yolk of brilliant light there be

Magically floating in an embracing sea

Alchemic be this egg of gold

Within is your story yet to be told

For you too, bear a golden light of grace

Within the sea of SELF you to place.

The Burning Paper

"And all shall be well and.. All manner of thing shall be well.. 

When the tongues of flame are in-folded.. 

Into the crowned knot of fire.. 

And the fire and the rose are one.” ~ T.S. Eliot

The body calling to its soul

A recounting, a recording

Words upon paper

And so delivered

Be the din of despair

The lament of betrayal

The echoing haunts of pain

Hushed they be 

By the consuming flames of faith

Burn Burn

The rising light alluringly alchemic

The sense of SELF newly embraced

This the Phoenix of BEING

Glory Glory hails the soul

The deep breath newly NOW

The deep breath newly NOW.

alchemic... Golden Light

golden light of soul be this moment's decree
the silence of PRESENCE pulses within me
beyond all loss, pain, darkness and despair
ever the endowment of CREATION, light and care
to this rapture of faith and love I willingly succumb
to this golden light of  life I, ALL, ONE.

Prods of Passion

prods of passion this alchemic quest
golden light of soul be this moment's decree
within the depths of darkness this breath's ebb and flow
the sounding silence of PRESENCE known within me
to this rapture of faith and love I willingly surrender
beyond all loss, pain, darkness and despair
ever the endowment of CREATION, light and care
to its enfolding embrace I shall succumb
to this golden light of sun and life I, ALL, ONE.

Golden Light

this dance of spirit within my soul
resounding waves of light to behold
violet be heart's enchant and embracing tone
alchemic golden light within be known
alluring gestures of the divine
be these blossoms of my mind
in this cresting and flow I proclaim
the splendor of grace in God's name.

Emergent

Emergent be these thoughts
This wellspring of mind
Expansive treasures of perception
Dark, fertile, alchemic
And thus
The golden light illumes.
