In Greek Mythology Aries represents the golden ram that rescued Phrixos,
taking him to the land of Colchis, where Phrixos sacrificed him to the gods and
hung the skin in a sacred grove, where it became known as the Golden Fleece.

I want to be where your bare foot walks,
Because maybe before you step,
You will look at the ground.
I want that Blessing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Would you like to have revealed to you
The Truth of the Friend?
Leave the rind,
And descend into the pith.
Fold within fold,
The Beloved drowns in his own being.
This world is drenched with that drowning.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Love perfected and whole, you arrive.
Words throng my Soul, but none come out.
A traveler meets his joy
And his despair at once.
Dying of thirst, I stand here
With spring water flowing around my feet.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Spring overall.
But inside us there is another unity.
Behind each eye here;
One glowing weather.
Every forest branch moves differently in the breeze,
but as they sway, they connect at the roots.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A drunk sees me coming and claps his hands,
Look here. Our pilgrim has come back.
Against all his repentance vows.
It is true, but he does not know much
About glassmaking, the painstaking work.
Remember. The more effort goes in,
The easier we are to break.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rain falls on one Man,
He runs into his house.
But the swan spread its wings and says,
Pour more on me of that power
I was fashioned from.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Around and around all night
In the house of the Fiend.
This is how it must be,
Because the Beloved needs
The cup empty, again empty.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What's the Lover to do,
But humiliate himself
And wander your rooms?
If he kisses your hair,
Do not wonder why.
Sometimes in the madhouse
They gnaw on their chains.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Last night the Friend came to visit.
I asked night to keep the secret.
But look, said night,
Behind you the Sun is Rising.
How could I show anyone anything?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My Spirit saw how down and dull I was
And came and sat laughing on my bed.
Holding my brow, Sweetheart,
I cannot bear to see you like this.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is how I would die
Into the Love I have for you.
As pieces of cloud
Dissolve in Sunlight.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Someone who does not run
Toward the allure of Love
Walks a road where nothing lives.
But this dove here
Senses the Love-Hawk floating above,
And waits, and will not be driven
Or scared to safety.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Looking at form delights you,
But move beyond this circle of seeing.
There is no end to Wisdom,
No boundaries for Awareness,
No sky, no place to Rest.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Leap up and dance when the song of the Soul begins,
Drum and Flute notes moving together.
Your old grief jumps in the fire of that telling.
It is time to weep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Only if you deny yourself,
Will you die enough to know the Mystery of Union,
Not God filling you
But you being emptied of Self.
Anything else is Arrogant and False.
