THE DIVINE CONSTELLATION
You’re the sparkling light leading me
Through the darkness of life’s forest;
Shattering all trying to lead me astray:-
There is no darkness your light
Can’t penetrate—shattering blindness:
Enlightening awareness constellated to all:-
You are indeed the sun, moon, and stars of life,
Filling it with the glow that blinds evil deviations;
For you are God’s divine wisdom and guidance:-
A PERSPECTIVE IN LIFE’S UPS AND DOWNS
Late last night, I was
Parallel to the full moon:-
That changed this morning:
I am perpendicular
To another day’s sunshine
Glory be to God
Another surviving night,
And its rising day:
Me ready for all of life’s
Up and down tribulations:-
In life’s ups and downs,
Let’s forever be in God’s
Labors of His love:
Seeking true equality
For all of humanity:-
In life’s ups and downs,
Let us pull down injustice;
Raising up justice:
Don’t be blind to injustice,
Up there, pulling down, justice:-:
Much more could be said,
But it’s parallel time now—
Tomorrow waiting:
May God see fit to have me
Perpendicular again:-
Inside the outside of everything
Colors conform to retreat
I seek not what is lost or gained
I only seek the truth or fiction
Inside the Outside of all
I stumble against the wall of remorse
And in the distance of morning or nightide
I see the truth as gospel or not
Colors bleed into morning or night
Like the dharma of dawn reborn
I see the raven flying or hanging
On a rope-ladder to the moon and back
I am dead but hopeful of life
In all the usual places or not
I am dead and only now
glimpse the truth
I love the smiling moon, in an equinox sky
It makes me think the cosmos is amused
At one such as I
Just before it sets, it's the wink of an eye
It's a hedge on the bets I've allowed to slip by
I can't really imagine it's not there for me
I doubt that anyone else is aware of the trick
I'm aware just myself, I'm the target of it
That's enough just to know, I don't need a sign
To be holding this thought, is to hold the divine
An unorthodox paradox on the dark side of the moon.
A rotating axle spinning the cogwheels of thought.
One pair of arms striking authority,
The other pair holding a cracked shield.
One fights for what they believe is right,
The other fights for what they want.
Belittling each other, pushing the boundaries,
beyond bodily limbs within constant orbit.
A sentinel of the galaxy shifts the four faces of judgment.
The warrior stands tall among their trial.
The decision does not come lightly.
Near the edge of the universe,
A chamber of observers, motionless and silent.
The Consequences of a Gemini.
With the shift of a cogwheel,
A slicing wind cuts down a leg of the warrior.
Forced to kneel,
Pledging allegiance to defiance.
("Peyote Moon", 2018, original encaustic)
The Great Toad
At the gateless gate
I met the Great Toad
Sitting tall and wide
And in his gaze
All my needs were known
And met
And in that moment
I passed beyond
Without a trace

iconic sunrise
I wear no disguise,
really.
as do butterflies,
earth, I colorize
freely.
golden moon full-size
lulls school bus allies

CELESTIALLY GRACED LOVE
The day has its sun,
And the night, its moon:-
I am blessed to have you,
Each bright day and night:-
Your presence is as the cosmic beauty of God:
Reflecting the shiny, glorious glow of His light:-
As you are my ever glowing sun of my day,
May I ever be your glowing moon of your night:-
Luna sings sweetly
when the sun goes down…
…and the stars light up against
the black velvet of the empyrean.
Others view Luna
with a judgemental frown…
…they approve only sunlight songs
in hues of yellow and tangerine.
When will we see with our hearts
and hear music with the love we hold there?
When will the ethereal light
of the moon on meadows here
be thought as beautiful
as that glaring sun of theirs?
The moonlight is gentle,
it sings to us of lovers and lakes.
Of both beneath those graceful beams,
in a boat being rocked to sleep.
It softens her features,
giving much more than it takes.
Luna in the arms of another
in the moonlight on meadows and lakes…
…Over what eternity keeps.
Do you remember that time we danced on the moon, our bodies entangled, our breath in tune.
Yes, you took my breath away. Like I'd left the earth.
After you I was floating in space. You took me to a different place. Like I'd seen all the cosmos.
That night left me every kind of heartbroke.
If I could take that trip again I would, I'd go back, and see the moon.
Because I feel like that journey across the stars, just ended all too soon.
And I was wondering, if you did too.
I guess what I'm asking is, can we explore the unknown together. Not for one adventure, but every adventure after. How would you feel, about being astronauts forever?
("The Longest Journey", 2020, original encaustic)
Beyond Words, A Rose By Any Other Name…
Everybody’s talkin’ ‘bout it
because it, is all there is.
Like there is but one sun
everyone sees and is extolling.
Even when they’re pointing at the moon
it’s still just Sun’s light
reflecting on her face.
Yet still people fuss and fight
splitting hairs all through the night…
But meanwhile Life goes on,
and if you want to see
the hand of God at work
look no further than the play of children,
or musicians, grooving with each other,
riding waves of wordless bliss,
swirling dancers in their wake.
Everybody’s talkin’ ‘bout it
after all, what more is there to say?
(1/28/24)
Buttered pancakes, hot cocoa, cinnamon sticks,
Knitted neck shawls, all buttoned up jackets, "Phew,"
Some are ice skating, or skiing, and sledding,
~~"Ohh Little...," is sung,
Fabric weaves hills of ivory silk frosting,
Spilling streams of cream, pouring milk all astir,
Grizzlies, snoring, un-grizzled hibernal eve,
~~day's sun soon freezes,
Night has fallen ... sleep for some while others aren't,
Stars found a place for dangling nighttime twinkles,
Classic moon balm tryst desires, tarries sunrise,
~~hourglass sands sun soon.
Dripping flower, covered in white
As soft as lips, reflecting the light
Mother is waiting
Perched high in the sky
She sees your beauty
She knows, what's inside
Show the whole world
How strong that you are
Stand up straight, stretch your arms
Open your heart
Let, the light in
Mother is waiting
Your love,
Is the world's gift
Lost in his thoughts,
clueless, or unaware.
That the sun silently darkened,
The moon wept with fear.
Teardrops of shadows,
Cascading from light.
The lake fell silent,
Reflecting thier flight.
Lower then lower,
The shadows they came,
Inching their way closer,
To where the boy remains.
Lost in his thoughts,
Unaware all the same,
That the light died slowly,
As nightfall came.
R.K.Harp
When evening came she ran out alone
Shedding her skin and matters within
As the moon shone overhead
The shadowed trees filling with dread!
Out of home and out of time
She ran alone till she ran into her kind
The night hiding inside of a cowl
As the evening star shone like a silent howl!
She looked down at all that was said
The light slowly fading, the day almost dead
Expect for the moon there was no one to hear
She was standing alone facing her fears!
