"Earth Had A Dream" (1988)

Earth had a dream called history
but a flicker, fluttering frames of light –
a few seconds (12,000 years?)
after four billion years of slumber,
a wakeful dream, a dream about
“hominization” –
or was it her-story?
DNA, radiation belts, the I Ching,
a unified resonant field theory,
off and on, binary crossover,
flung from unity-consciousness
into the field of yin and yang,
male and female, God and human,
good and bad, plus and minus,
darkness and light,
blinking, twinkling on and off,
the language of space-time,
history-consciousness –
sprung from cosmic radiation
and shifting tectonics,
and the pulses of civilization,
emergent human
between heaven and earth,
geomancy and holonomics,
the noosphere spun out,
double-helix spinning,
and now
we enter
The Solar Age
Our Star
Energy
for a few more billion years
waking from amnesia
from a pseudo-one-dimensionality
toward the One-without-a-second,
through two-of-a-kind
for now
Psi-bank unfolding, the unconscious,
the archetypes,
vibrational frequencies,
we are all contemporaries,
Gilgamesh and Buddha,
Sister Teresa and Eve,
Moses and Jesus,
Mother Teresa and Hildegard,
Mohammed and Gandhi,
Athena and Margaret,
the computer-of-the-year,
Earth unfolding
her majestic communion of
bacteria,
attunement with the
eternal present,
from her perspective (and his)
the baby cries
the god-man dies
Quetzalcoatl doth arise
and the Virgin smiles
in compassionate radiance
forever
- Robertson Work (Caracas, 1988)
