A Secret Place

A Secret Place

The forest children hid their lands
amongst the ivy’s brackish tans
of thickets that surround their fore
a mile or so upon the shore.

Intuition had found it there
not far away from Hatley fair
amongst the deepest greens you’ll see
neath the elms and willow tree.

The way inside where I was led
through scarlet shroud a glowing red
this forest place that I was shown
with door made of carnelian stone.

Around the frame time spoke in runes
of passing cycles of the moon
which played a part in crossing through
now lost to shadows from our view.

First nations of the pagan age
intune with nature they engaged
their gem stone works are still revered
and from their path all lines appeared.

Lost forever, histories gone
in common knowledge all withdrawn
these forest seeds of human birth
that stretched out far across the earth.

But presence here is greatly felt
in conscious minds all about
who see the door in waking dreams
a mile or so near Hatley streams.

About this Poem: Working on my 4th book which will be one of imagination and story telling.

*Hatley is a small country village of about 800 people tucked away in the Eastern Townships, Quebec.

Crystal Clear

 

Crystal Clear

We must close our eyes to see the light
where flashing measures glow firm and bright
unique perceptions from days of old
in a universe where thoughts unfold.

Utopian world where once we grew
still plays its part in déjà vu
that covered earth with pius lands
now lost in time’s amnesic sands.

Once a focus of the mindful heart
when crystal computers played their part
they condensed the light through a mirror
made of amethyst to see clearer.

The centerpiece of an ancient realm
that kept the greater good at helm
and forged connection to the stars
when the right to choose was all ours.

In the quiet you can hear its verse
an inner voice where we converse
made of whispers and conscious mind
a powerful tool when all aligned.

For thousands of years we lost our nous
adrift this timeline’s taken us to
a world rebuilt by greedy men
who distract the mind again and again.

But if you focus and close your eyes
remove addictions and all the lies
essence feels this old connection
inner peace with divine affection.

A world in tune we once had made
returns in bloom from where we strayed
a world devoid of warring fear
with inner vision that’s crystal clear.

Written for a poetry contest on the Atlantis Card Deck: Card Chosen for me was, "The Great Crystal"

This card suggests that you look at the source of your inner power. Do not underestimate yourself. Every thought, word and action radiates an energy that affects others and draws situations and people to you. Make sure your aims are for the highest good; great currents of energy will emanate from you, enabling you to be a power generator to help the world.

Use your power for the highest good.

About this Poem: It is my belief that a highly advanced civilization existed before a cataclysm brought the younger dryas period between 12,900 BC and 11,700 BC. The ice sheets that covered North America and Europe for 2.58 million years rapidly melted and raised the oceans by 200 to 400 feet. Cities and populated land masses submerged into the oceans. Climate changed throughout the world and the ancient civilizations that existed during that time were wiped out and mankind had to start over.

The proof of a highly developed civilization prior to ours exists all over the planet from the sands of Egypt to the west cost of South America to the jungles of India to the forbidden places in China, into the Middle East and modern day Turkey. The evidence is overwhelming.

There is much talk today about the ancients possessing very high technology and it’s hard to dismiss due to artifacts found in places like the Cairo museum and the megalithic building structures all around the world.

Out of the dust and ashes of that cataclysm, rose a new civilization, the one we find ourselves in today which is extremely violent, power hungry and extremely repressive in every sphere of influence. There is a better way to life than what we have today as I feel that the ancient civilizations before the Younger Dryas period was more attuned to life, consciousness, nature, and the cosmos.

It is from this starting point that legends and stories arise of Atlantis made famous by Plato’s dialogues Timaeus and Critias.

Plato's indications of the time of the events, more than 9,000 years before his time, Plato was Born 428/427 or 424/423BC and Died 348/347 BC.

The primary sources for Atlantis are Plato's dialogues Timaeus and Critias; all other mentions of the island are based on them. The dialogues claim to quote Solon, who visited Egypt between 590 and 580 BC; they state that he translated Egyptian records of Atlantis. Plato introduced Atlantis in Timaeus, written in 360 BC:

"For it is related in our records how once upon a time your State stayed the course of a mighty host, which, starting from a distant point in the Atlantic ocean, was insolently advancing to attack the whole of Europe, and Asia to boot. For the ocean there was at that time navigable; for in front of the mouth which you Greeks call, as you say, 'the pillars of Heracles,' there lay an island which was larger than Libya and Asia together; and it was possible for the travelers of that time to cross from it to the other islands, and from the islands to the whole of the continent over against them which encompasses that veritable ocean. For all that we have here, lying within the mouth of which we speak, is evidently a haven having a narrow entrance; but that yonder is a real ocean, and the land surrounding it may most rightly be called, in the fullest and truest sense, a continent. Now in this island of Atlantis there existed a confederation of kings, of great and marvelous power, which held sway over all the island, and over many other islands also and parts of the continent."

Cycles and Rhythms

Cycles and Rhythms

Cycles and rhythms begin from one’s birth
with the gifting of life on planet earth
cycles that stage with the moon and the sun
regardless of time or where we come from.

A patterned series that brings lows and highs
from beginning of life to the day we die
we’re a rhythmic heartbeat that grows and learns
sinusoidal wave forms with peaks and turns.

Awareness, intuition, essence, strength
emotion, intellect all have a length
timing is different but sometimes converge
and through these patterns our cycles emerge.

The patterns of life, in the things we do
repeat in numbers to make it all true
it might be sports or multiple careers
cycles have stages and a length in years.

Those years are your numbers, special in you
revealed in birthdates or nemesis too
all can be measured, put on a scale
every victory or when you fail.

Think of achievements, your get up and go
days when your energy is high or low
as emotional stages rise and fall
our biorhythms can address it all.

One’s basic emotions, strengths and needs
are better dealt with when positive leads
and once you’ve mastered the timing of peaks
apply a set of strategic techniques.

Cycles and rhythms in emotional flow
with peaks and valleys that help us to grow
your spark is electric from heart to mind
bring interesting moments when all are aligned.
-----------------------------------------------------

About this Poem: The theory of biorhythm starts from the fact that since birth, man, or more precisely, his emotional, physical and intellectual abilities pass through favorable, unfavorable and critical moments. One easy way to understand or recognize the biorhythm is when you notice there are days when you feel good with no apparent reason.

Biorhythms describe energy levels and the capacity for performance on 3 Primary levels: physical, emotional and intellectual.

The emotional biorhythm governs the nervous system and lasts for 28 days. The same length as the Moon's cycle. It relates to one’s emotional stability or stress level which influences our emotional states, affecting love/hate, optimism/pessimism, passion/coldness, depression/elation.

The intellectual biorhythm lasts for 33 days and relates to one’s mental capabilities, creativity, and aptitude to solve problems. The cycle influences our memory, alertness, speed of learning, reasoning ability and accuracy of computation.

The physical biorhythm lasts for 23 days and is related to your physical energy, strength, health, stamina.

The cycle effects the physical aspect of the body and encompasses one’s energy level, resistance, and ones overall physical strength and endurance. The cycle influences physical factors such as eye-hand coordination, strength, endurance, and resistance to disease. During the negative half of cycle, you are likely to have less energy and less vitality.

There are 4 Secondary Bio-rhythms that can also measured in cycles: Spiritual (53 days), Awareness (48 days), Aesthetic (43 days), Intuition (38 days)

Biorhythms are calculated using simple math and graphing the data over a cycle of time

To know and understand your biorhythms is to be one step up as to when making important decisions.

Definition: Sinusoidal is a word used to describe the mathematical wave form or pattern of the sine wave. It can also be used to describe blood flow to the body’s organs or in AC electronics where one cycle begins at zero, peaks to a maximum positive point, descends towards the zero, then to the maximum negative point and back to the zero point. The form is based on a unit of time where 1/Time = frequency and is applicable to everything including the many different cycles within our star.
