It all came together    at last...

A spark in the sky

And the night opened...

                                                                               *

Such it is for the entity in the earth--

That in order to live you must die--

Anxious and cruelly terse

In earthbound incomprehension of why--

                                                                              *

Watch out for 

The hot old foxes--

     Even more than

The young        they will

Blow you in front

For your money

Then laugh behind your back

While they spend it

                                                                              *

I can feel the finish line looming--

Not see it  mind you

But feel it--

Emanating invisibly as

Out a crooked tunnel

In overlay

Upon my sight--

Every step bringing me closer

To the mad last dash

And the ribbon snapped

By the hurling body--

The race with myself done

In which neither I nor myself won--

The Higher-Self-'I' taking a lesson

While lower-case 'me'

Lies paralyzed in the spent shell--

But as cheering fades and dissolves

And sight goes black

And soul peels out from completed skin--

Feeling comes to certainty--

As I go the line will trip me unawares and

I     at last   will see..

                                                                            *

We resume  (how appropriate for a Mercury

Retrograde)

                         and what will come will come--

Keep busy

Stay active

Do what you must and be done

It will turn out as it will--

Put your whole being in one laser focus

Of will and attention on whatever of yours is at hand

And fix the first breach that set you on your way

Continuing....
