FRIENDS Autumn 1982

     We rode the desert cliffs
         in sun and weather
         walked pine and aspen
         forest trails together
         you tilled the earth
         I worked in leather

     This time love transcends...

     Many things in time we
         can discover
         father, lover, sister
         you're my brother
         we always seem
         to touch each other

     This time let's be friends...

MOONBEAM MAIDEN Spring 1986

      Rest while you can Moonbeam Maiden
      The waters await the morning
      And there is a morning some when

      Rest while you can Redmoon Warrior
      The earth trembles in the sun
      And the morning will come again

      Rest while you can Ageless One
      The sky will explode in fire
      And the Tribe will reappear then

      Rest while you can Ancient One
      The energy comes to those who love
      And the Godself rises within us

      Be what you can Star Children
      The cloak of darkness has parted
      The Journey in Light has begun

SOAR Spring 1994

 They looked to be gods on the verge of creativity,
      as they stood on the rim of the vast canyon.

 They spoke, "In passion we create our essence
      as we walk this life together."

 Then he took her hand and they soared.

 Cedar trees whispered timeless sighings in the wind.
