Energy Joins All
Acrylic Paint on Canvas - November 2012
The symbol which makes the focal point on this piece I first drew one night over 10 years ago and have come to call Eidjah. It means to me something akin to my view on God. My belief is that everything in existence is energy- all that is, was and will be. This energy which is everlasting, is ever evolving and is something of which we are all equal parts of. This energy is divine, it flows from the source within us all and is joined together inextricably in what we call the cosmos.
I shortened this meaning to make the title of my 2nd collection of poetry- "Energy Joins All"
Here is a 5 poem sampler from "Energy Joins All" I find poignant for the spirit of the journeys I see being tread today...
Ever the Same
Wanting more
I saw less
Advancing ideas
Erupting from
your mind
Stagnation and
denial
Centers of
comfort
Blanket your
ambition
To grow
For it is
easier
Not to know
Than give in
To the wonder
Of mysteries
Beyond ourselves
Or
pre-conceptions
On the depth
Of the well
And your inept
ability
To see
Spectrums
unfathomed
Unfolding within
Your
sub-conscious untold
Fragments forming
A fragile pile
Of excuses
Probable
explanations
Reasons to remain
Undeveloped, and
Ever the same
(2010)
I Tell You
I tell you it’s
Unwise
Living these
Half-hearted
Lives
I tell you I
Despise
Seeing those
Half-open
Eyes
I tell you to
Wake-up
There’s no chance
No time to
Make-up
Any chances you
Pass-by
So be
Alive
Fully open your
Half-shut
Eyes
I tell you now
That everything
Relies
Depends on your
Perspective
I tell you my
Glass is
Half-full
And filling still
By the strength
Of my will

Commutate
The energy had been
Alternating
In and out, in
Spatters and spurts
Come around to find
In that state
Nothing really works
The time has come now
At this moment in fate
That we flick the switch
An initiative to commutate
A change over to
Inner-directed
Direct current
Ever going
On flowing
Down stream
Straight energy
This modification
Should be one of
A lasting duration
(12/22/2007)
The Divine
Aligned
The time has come
To move along
Remembering
To stand tall
And remain strong
Live for today
Learning to hold
The fantasies at
bay
But keep the
dream alive
See the
Silver lines
That entwine
Reality
And the divine
__________
Aligned
Vibrations
resounding
Surrounding
Sere tendrils
With the water
Of life
Hidden light
Bubbles forth
A silent source
The geyser
Heated by the
fire
From within
(8/7/2008)
Please Take
Flight
God
Please
Let me grow
Help me to know
Everything I need
In order to
succeed
These
otherworldly plans
I’ve made
To engage fully
My mind
Make proper use
Of time
Taking steps
On the road
The only one for
me
Clearly I can see
Everything
coming along
At a faster
relative pace
Working toward
this place
Of dreams and
learning
Meditation and
growth
Joy and peace
I will not
release
My motivation
Or belief
Something this
way comes
To some it numbs
All reason
Others awaken
Spirits formerly
dormant
Opening eyes
As they realize
A full picture
colored
Created
With intentions
With ideas and
inventions
Kaleidoscopically
In tune with
what we see
These arrays of
displays
From which we must
Learn to look away
From which we must
Learn to look away
Distractions
can endear
Imbibing us to
fear
Our future
failures
Into becoming
A reason not to
try something
God
Please
Give me strength
To move away
from the brink
Of desperation
Allow that I find
Sublime elation
Through my deeds
Solace in my self
Courage to uphold
My convictions
Grant me
Serenity
Humble wisdom
Based in light
As I learn
To make dreams
Take flight

Happy Solstice 2012 - May this entrance into the new age be one done with mindfulness, and a focus on enlightening ourselves and heightening our level of connection with the world around us. We must learn to return to a more symbiotic relationship with the environment, as well as the people we are and affect.
Thankfully I find ever increasing numbers of those who also realize this-
Let us remember our power now and work together in unity to co-create this new age, raising vibrations, filling it with the everlasting love & light that pours from the well within!
