Masonic Poetry

The Entered Apprentice - First Degree

As fresh as an apprentice,

do not forget one's responsibility

to be the best Adept that one can be.

Not giving in to the temptations of one's ego,

spend a considerable amount of time chiseling away 

at one's desires and longings for another world.

Seeing Heaven in Earth and Earth in Heaven,

Re-orient oneself to oneself,

for in doing so,

a clarity of mind that is as fresh as Spring

will nourish one's heart with the energies of accomplishment

and new beginnings. Seeking for the Kingdom of God,

look within the Temple that one lives in on a daily basis.

The Fellow Craft - Second Degree

Entering through to the Other Side

of High Magic,

Re-create who one wants to be

from this day forward

for you are the one who

always has to decide what one wants to

consciousness identify with.

Being a Master of the Craft,

Structure one's mind after

the Divine Blueprint

that is and is not of this World

of Cause and Effect.

Caring for the Brothers and Sisters

of the Above and the Below,

Re-instate one's right to rule one's

internal Kingdom as the abode

of Nocturnal Contemplations.

Seeing in the depths of Transcendent Darkness,

know that nothing can stop the

building and raising up of the Soul's

nightly flights into the Spheres of the Unknown.

The Master Mason - Third Degree

Dispelling the illusion of exclusivity

or even inclusivity,

the Master Mason treats All

those who are assembled in the Temple of Beauty

as incarnations of the Most High God.

Seeing the Lord of the Master's Heart Everywhere,

there is not one moment wasted on Seeking for

something other than the Beloved Deity which

summons every upright soul to acts of loving service

and loving companionship.

Feeling what it is like to be One without a Second,

the Master Mason is ever ready to help those

who are in need of spiritual and emotional re-assurance.

Just as the Most High God is without preference

in regards to who is and who is not IT,

so too does the Master Mason 

treat the All as a recipient of the Master's Mercy.

Restoring the Temple of Solomon

within the Abyss of the New Age,

I AM THAT I AM
