In full array

He brings with him all of the images that Dream
Has bestowed

He assumes you too are fully prepared

To enter with full consciousness

The unfolding

He is a gentle soul

He is here to preserve the holiness

His love is given freely

He is strong

If you met him

It is good

On the bridge at midnight

Crying children dream
Of
Promises made

We are

Searching

So very hard for grace and tranquility

Searching for each other

In the spaces tween the stars

••

We are

The poetry

We write only ***** ragged bodies

Weighted down by poverty

We are too mortal

Too fragile for day

We are only the empty buildings

The rubble

The decay

We are only the dying light striving
To
Stay lit

The ragged opposite of feigned love
And bliss

We are the magnificent reminders

That god is love

And touches completely

Every one

••

Come come with us

On the midnight vigil

Across the mystic bridge

Where the myths take real shape

And every child-like  man is free

To dream the tomorrow

That shall surely come to be

Truth

In the unbroken

We

Come upon IT once again

( in the ancient tongue )

•

Up to the Borderline

Naked but still opening

We gather Pure Seed

For the Ancient Harvesting

••

One plus One is Three

( it is the ancient love )

We knew true feelings

We had the words to speak them clearly

•

The ancient tongue is dead

And mankind is dying

The great awakening awaits

Those who would understand

All that still is in our command

Thunder  in the skies

Broken cities !

Mad the school yards

On the porch stoop on the Lower East Side

Sittin pretty

Still

The Giant Raindrops a falling

We really should not let tomorrow

And all the pretty babies

Die
