Whiter than white
frozen water crystals surround the air
snow packed mountains
building up quickly, for my eyes to see
A snowflake begins to form
a cold water droplet freezes
onto a pollen dust particle
in the sky, it swivels then falls down
Snow, composed of frozen water
one oxygen molecule, two hydrogen molecules
it never changes nor transfigures
gently filling the world with light- landscape,
This beautiful blizzard has me in a spell,
with its lovely woodsy earthy scent, of Aspen.

Hidden by "the cloud,
now obscure, now luminous"
it overshadows, transfigures,
--Light numinous--
"From the beginning
until 'the fullness of time'"
the Word and Spirit's mission
are hidden, sublime

"The Real World"
what you gonna do
when your world
is wrapped up in love
and all you've loved
taken away from you,
a hollow heart remains
an empty vacuum
the implosion,
of all you've loved
taken down the
black rabbit hole;
we were never the same
species, you and I,
we never were;
the smaller truth stolen
by the fallen, poisonouS;
Spider transfigures
into Snake,
boxing gloves on,
the soft satin punched
blue bird inside, wrong;
riding quills caged -
yet the true convicted,
now free ride takes
all of the memories
and time that should
have been yours;
another felonious
story written,
dreams buried
dreams tortured,
the real truth unseen,
bruised, rots away poetically;
what you gonna do
when your world
is wrapped up in love
and your eyes
are blind from all
the false light
hissing out,
around you
deflated corporeality
sucked up
in the endless
nightmare
of the real world,
no longer loving
the real lie
that is a fellon’s
camouflaged
world

Rubin’s Cup
Rested in conclusion that water vessels cast push pull as they propel
the motions’ notion from confusion’s stagnant nightmares
into another settling day of canyons’ crevices in mid-day tinges
she searches an attic of mindful antics antiques anticipation
restores all crayons of the rainbow’s might progresses colours from
within the lines proceeds to shade the shadows that await
outside her channelled tracks paints transfigures Rubin’s cup to faces
collaborates collaterals and relishes in wondrous ambiguity

there is something profoundly sad about the rain.
perhaps it is the cold.
cold that makes my bones raw and my heart unbearably still.
i feel it under my skin - the seed deprived of warmth, compassion transfigures into callousness.
perhaps it is the sound.
the endless stream of voices that rouse all that which I have chosen to suppress.
a symphony of discord, the aria of the heavens.
perhaps it is the transience.
the lover that comes as it wishes and goes as it pleases, yet lovely nonetheless.
that so carelessly comes to touch, yet as carelessly fades away.
perhaps it is the loneliness.
of streets barren as April fields, lowered heads and veiled faces.
of guarded footsteps and wary glances.
of caged men.
perhaps it is the darkness.
which has taken away every last shred of my solace.
which has called into question even my final faith - the permanence of hues ablaze.
raindrops batter upon my heart tonight.
each raindrop is a mirror that calls for me to decide the reflection i so seek.
i am, as usual, undecided.

PALACE OF POSSIBILITIES
In the Palace of Possibilities, there are countless rooms.
While young, we anticipate their exploration
not recognizing the potential peril inherent in all.
We keep the doors open and with one foot inside
look around. What treasures will be found?
We enter with abandonment excited by schemes
and dreams that invade our very souls.
The door locks but somewhere hidden
a key exists within this sacred space.
As time progresses we become captive
to its charms and accept complacency.
And in our solitude of thought,
we stop looking.
Underneath the shadow of the door, a light shines
beckoning us to explore once more. Why, we ask,
trade one known for something unknown?
Life settles in and impulsive youth transfigures with age.
To later rage against the race with time.

Celestial hammer hits sparks fly
The seal of Saturn in a center has an eye
From transcendent essence spirit it will magnify
By meaning of abyss seal exits dimension and heads for different sky
The shift in dimension transfigures the very soul
The eye forms the spectrum greater then all
The supreme in existence or not, soul
There is no such thing as cannot exist for the eye at all
And in this essence it is perfect and supreme
Spectrum of divine dream
The original primordial stream
The trans dimensional sublime in the extreme

Seventy seven stones stand tall
In their center is something beyond essence of a normal soul
A lake with water crystal clean and pure as summer breeze, murmuring like leaves in fall
Bluer then Italian sky but suddenly in its center appears pupil black as coal
The whole lake transfigures into one giant eye
That looks up at the sky
In the center of those stones it will lie
It is the ultimate glory that no can imagine neither you or I
The lightning of divine transverses the heaven
After the thunder vast emptiness around is silent like just before Armageddon
Stones of which there is seventy seven
Stand as one protecting the Eden
Not only has he eternal youth
But also by soul of abyss he knows absolute truth
Near the stones druids live in a booth
Protecting them is symbol of the Eye and magical tooth
The elemental justice and Summum bonum
Like a meadow in spring will blossom
Most primordial as well as advanced spirit sublime and awesome
Beyond what mind spirit soul or God can fathom

GLASS HOUSE
It was me
Yes ,did it deliciously
Mind blown
Petals chopped
Goodness stamped
Fantasies striped
Freshly plucked dreams
Buried alive .
Years flew along water
With oncoming seasons
Virility of cool showers
Narrowing to drizzles
In faded memories .
Nun bird nested in heart
Transfigures to a shadow
In white thread monsoon rain .
Rain prevails
Nothing but rain
Lashing rain ,her hair unleashed .
I sat at the doorstep waiting patiently
Dreams sprouting to life ,
Swallowing mouthful of air
Shadow of my soul
Bow to gnawing flame
In this coconut shell
Lying in state .

The preordained forgathering
An ineffable Dayspring by Night
Of the King's subjects...
Children of the Light
A convivial convocation, fervent & true
Eternal & ardent princely quietude
The Kiss of Life from the Depths Above
Unremitting, interchanging overtures of Love
Concurrent convergence in the midst of the impasse
Only to gaze upward through a sea of opaque glass
Perfect laughter; resounding illume
Radiance magnificently imbued throughout His inner room
Lofty din; unstained by sin
The movement of His Spirit transfigures yet again
This moment will be inscribed;
Yea, it shall even be outdone
Nevermore to see through a mirror dimly
Eternity yet to come
