I feel the rolling years pass over me
And moving me a moment if a year,
Transfix the sense unmade in tree
Of life and knowledge close to here;
So when the moment's gone where will I be
If dancing leaves for life the living sings,
Moving me what moves that self same tree
In distant time the map to body brings;
My name I sign to that great soul
That rolls and rocks in stillness half perceived;
A perfect play of process t'ward no other goal
But we were here and magically conceived:
Eternity was like this eons ago
When life began to live and there we know.
R's Sonnet
Body's Wisdom shines in thickening dimension,
Laws of light eternal's ritualized becoming;
So that the wickedness of years resurrects attention
In Soul's own dark cathedral drumming
Eros, Logos, Psyche and the Crone
Whisper 'Universe' beneath the din come strumming
Lyre of bloody beating Mother's Bone
Dancing 'Animal' and ages summing
Where in deed but that the Self comes face to face,
As went the Duad twin-ray waiting incarnation,
Turning inward place to shing place
In Body speaking Cycle's incantation;
So Gods in Symbol, Person spied
And thrice the ample bosom cried.
R's Sonnet
Light is just one part of this world of ours,
So it seems it often dies in every day;
So where light goes we go as night to stars
Unfolding petals for the smallest speck or ray.
Do you see me and forget for lack of care
Or mask your love with stars so far I fear
Not knowing you from dawn light's when and where,
The name of might throb's own crystal tear;
I knew you were an angel when the tree
Bent down to feel your eyes with beams,
The worse my longing for a wordless free
Passage through your eyes and fate it seems
Bears Life in tender figures of unknowing,
Meeting Night's own blessed children in the future
sight is going.
