Of some dark moment of the night

Of some dark moment of the night
The owl takes flight – Take flight!
And look with eyes into hidden doors
That open onto hidden floors
And sing the sultry hoot of blue
Through glens and meadows ripe for dew
As coldness waits the morning’s kiss
To sit upon her frosted lips
Alone she waits for pure release
The winged one dost sense her pleas
As flight is hindered in every sinew
But life is needed, so flight is due
Of some dark moment of the night
The owl takes flight – Take flight!

The seeker starts following stars

Then looks at atoms

Each day new

The seeker finds a gem

Pieces of the Galaxy

That reflect the majesty

Found within.

The spirits of the stars

Manifest on a physical plane

To play

To make music

To exist for a fraction of infinity

In polar extreme.

The seeker finds this moment

Over & over again

Adding to the ever growing repertoire

Of experience.

Divinity grows from the gathered seeds.

Gambling with your chance
Seems like a mistake
Birds fly on the wind
And so do we
But fly toward your destiny.

Look inside and ask for truth
It’s in there somewhere
I promise you
Don’t look outside for authority
Too many people are trying to be.

Understand reality by what you can create
Find out for yourself if something is fake
Find out for yourself if a “fact” can pass your test
Lead by example
Leave following to the rest.

But don’t forget your brethren
When you find hard won answers
Know that you are right
Teach them how to fight
For the truth that never changes
For the truth that never rearranges
For the truth that you found when you
Stopped listening to fools
And opened up to the idea–of You.
