invocation to beauty


Fill every moment of our lives so we may align
with highest harmonies of happiness/and see
visions of what is and what might be/together entwined
like twin snakes of DNA/say truth and watch as worlds change
Set bison free,and wild wolf roam.Let bear reclaim ancestral home
May birds fly free sans hunting seasons,bees no longer herbicide poisoned
May we be worthy of our borrowed visions/to spellcast living secular heavens
May spiral resurrect,and circles protect us.May square and rectangle cage disappear
May all straight lines soften in to rivers,flow round bends and corners
into depths that welcome their liquidities.May the invocation of true beauty
be as natural as our lives,in time defined by all we love,respect,admire.
May our peers affirm their inner light ,and add it to all that glows with goodness
May every dream come true,and beauty stay with you/remain in truth
and sing the new in to existence


BEAUTY BEFORE(and afterward
Pyramids -you pilgrimage to .Stone of Stonehenge
Sculptures in Museums.David.Venus De Milo.Portraits 
in oils daubed you adore,framed by security guards(valuable/unique)
I stare rather at those staring at Damien Hirst,whose diamonds and crystal skulls extort.
I stare at all the digital camera eyes,hungry for visions and wisdom
I watch those who are the hunters of Art/whose spark is collecting rather than loving
Whether temporary as teardrops or permanent as snowstorms,beauty is a gift in time
Our time is short.We can not be bought.
