Ocean Of Her Words

The youthfully ancient face of my mother
is the face of the land where I have dwelled
millions of years in valley of her heart
while climbing high to mountain of her head
because her eyes are the moon and the sun
and

Fate Laughs At Vanity

Because Fate laughs at vanity of man,
who dares assert false privilege of strength
to live beyond assessment of despair,
I sit on grass beneath the singing tree
to contemplate why hungry men will fight
to kill grim

Window On The World

Because my heart is window on the world,
I gaze from tower of ancestral souls
based on lives of three billion human beings
whose intense survival experiences
program how my brain perceives the world dream
that guides

Dream Cave of Hecate

Though I wander crazy maze of lost hopes
too many years from sea to shining sea,
singing out of tune about wounded hearts
that batter wings against cage of desire,
I find strange demon of love in my heart
that wakes

Persona Mask Of Strength

When he unfastens his soul from the world
while snatching apples from telephone poles,
then pretends to be the angel-winged bird
that never migrates when the empire falls,
Zachariah decides to prophesy
how storms

Rapt By Psychic Light

Rapt by psychic light of our spinning Earth,
I dream forever sorrow of mankind
awake in darkness of the silent moon
who always seems to know just how I feel
when I project my spirit at her mask
which I wear to play

Ungod Of Ten Billion Eyes

I wonder how to explain with calm faith
to my ancestors awake in my mind,
who prayed so fervently up to the sky,
that there was no one up there in the stars
strumming harps in crystal halls on the clouds,
nor

Wings Of Perpetual Respect

When my first home transforms into the crow
which flies on wings of perpetual respect
across the blind sea of forgotten dreams
that my ancestors left in empty rooms,
I model each new family home I build

A quotation from Herbert Hoover

You convey too great a compliment when you say that I have earned the right to the presidential nomination. No man can establish such an obligation upon any part of the American people. My country owes me no debt. It gave me, as it gives every boy and girl, a chance. It gave me schooling, independence of action, opportunity for service and honor. In no other land could a boy from a country village, without inheritance or influential friends, look forward with unbounded hope. My whole life has taught me what America means. I am indebted to my country beyond any human power to repay.

Herbert Hoover (1874-1964) American engineer, bureaucrat, US President (1929-33)
Letter (1928-06-14) to George Moses
