Hi, I wrote a majority of my poems/books while going through a spiritual awakening, hence most of the subject matter has to do with love, spirit, energy, and learning to live in a new world. I currenlty work as a programmer by day and do healing work when the opportunity comes up.

Introduction

Glory to you, Far Traveler ~ and Life everlasting!

Progressions of Power… Power? Yes, power. Power in this case is Chi or universal energy and/or the control thereof. Micro to macro. If you accept the quantum theory our scientists have come up with to explain what’s been known for centuries… the world around us is composed of energy patterns. There are many schools of thought around the globe that claim to know this or that ‘way’ of learning about the energy and working with it. Once awareness is established, one progresses onward to learn to control it. This is the story – told in poetry – of a Traveler walking a Path which one might find oneself on if they should choose to look beneath the surface.

Once upon a time, one Fool found an old reference to the quest for the Holy Grail. Rather than the popular story we’re familiar with, this quest was in reality a path of initiation which had faded into legend. Simple steps which if followed might bring the initiate to a higher level of awareness. The searching Fool chose to look at the journey from the viewpoint of a knight questing through the modern world seeking the Grail. You will find references to the Grail, the Christian Bible, the Jewish Kabbalah, Kundalini, Taoism, dreams, visions, and encounters with beings from beyond the Veil which we call reality. Should a Seeker read these poems, they might find gems, symbols, signposts, and warnings to help them find their Way should they become lost or feel they may be slipping into madness when their belief system (the way they view the world) is shaken to the core by their experiences. Just so it’s clear, most of the poems have everything to do with manipulating energy, learning to live with new awareness, and dealing with those who live in your new reality. Hang in there. Love will find a way.

The following is the story which was written as the Fool made his way along the Path and learned the progressions of power.

Love to all.

ON THE PATH AGAIN

Glory to you, Far Traveler

And Life everlasting

What hills do you roam, my friend

What Stars smile upon you

What eyes brighten at your approach

What Land do you call your home?

I sense your doubt

I shout - I implore

Don't ignore the Light!

See it shining, oh so bright

In the places, in the Faces of those you trust

The smile - Without cunning

No thought of running

The fourth Step on the Stairway

Silent. Cold. Covered with dust

Clear the Cobwebs, the disappointment from your eyes

I know the Hunger within you

This spell of darkness you're under

Rise above - Watch with wonder

Take Love by the throat if you must

But remember the Path

Remember the Path

Let us start once again on yon golden Path

The daily blood bath of strife

The teaching - The reaching out

Let this Life fill your Heart with Light

May your eyes shine with Wonder

Sheltered under the geas of the Quest

Let us rend this Darkness asunder

Feel the Thunder

~*~

OPEN UP

Prerequisites for a bit of that Grace:

Joyous Rapture

Howling Wasteland

Reality may strike like a slap on the face, man!

Revelation thunders at the Doorway

- Wake up! Let me in! -

Being receptive was never a Sin

OPEN!

Open Eyes

Open Mind

Open Heart

Open Hand

Come walk with me in the Promised Land

You hold the Key in your hand

It's time you made a stand

Come walk with me

Shed the shackles of this world and be Free

Come on - Open Up!

Come take your fill from the Loving Cup

~*~

AWAKENING

I lift the shroud from my eyes

Behold the Light in the sky

In the People, in the land

Given sight, I at last understand

What once meant so much - now holds no lure

This time I'm sure

There are dark ones and pure

I've seen through the lies

The masks, the disguise

Laws, doctrines, and dogmas only seek to bind

Seeking souls shackled and bound in their minds

I acknowledge my crimes – Un-acquitted

The sins I've committed

The little wars that I wage

Against my darkness, and others'

Against the ignorance which smothers the Light

In the Book of History

We'd merit but a sentence - Perhaps a page at most

Unless we do more than through this life merely ghost

Unless we reach out

With a touch or a shout

Leave our mark or our scars on society

I've seen the Light

I'll take the fight

To the depths of Hell, if I must

I'll free you from your fears

Perhaps even dry your tears

Should you need me, if you need someone to trust

In my
