A New Life Begin

I have lost my fascination with the stars.
They yield no light upon the taxing way

Title: Youth and Youthful Dreams

Review: by Chat gpt
...

We Who Wander Here

To walk in the shade of great protecting trees
Whose branches crowned with blessings cover me,
...

In the Morning of the World

In the morning of the world I slept,
A deep fulfilling dreamless sleep
...

When All Foundations Fall

There is no hatred living in my heart,
To forgive would be a rank stupidity,
...

The Avatar, the Seer

Now the mind is stilled and slowly peace
Descends in waves and I no longer know
...

Across the Nether Lands of Night

The poets speak to such as us,
With high-pitched voice and eyes a-gleam
...

Memories to Slay

I remember little now of major things,
At work within the body and the head,
...

This Dense Resistant Clay

It was not a time for singing or for song.
Tears like burning solder stung my eyes,
...

Forsake the Darkness

How fortunate are we having found
The secret of the mystery of life,
...

To Dream of Sages and of Seers

In a forest wilderness where Nature dreams
I mused awhile among the patient trees
...

O Radiant Soul

O radiant soul, angelic among the flowers
Whose silent heart was like a flaming rose,
...

The Light That Falls

When my beloved's face is aglow with love,
Speechless I feel her soul conjoin with mine,
...

The Message and the Meaning

I was a dreamer who dreamt a thousand dreams
Of sunlight and the whispering of leaves
...

Peace Within Our Hearts

At other times, in other places,
Unknown names, forgotten faces
...

The Great Discovery

What profit if we someday reach the stars,
Or having learned to navigate the moon
...

A New World Blossoms

A new world blossoms in earth's deep core,
My soul in offering I bring
...

In England

I walked upon the ancient Pilgrim's Way
And looked across the green and flowing downs,
...

The Peace That Consecration Brings

I walked alone in a dark deserted wood
Where briars held the lower ground that year
...

If One Allowed

I would, if one allowed, like nothing more
Than to wait upon the poem's descent
...
