Before Mountain Of God

Before Mountain of God I am frail mind
perceiving structure of its silent truth,
and wonder at nature of formal beings
in search for eternal Ideas of Things
that provide patterns for matter to form
physical objects I nominate in song.
When Moses stood before crackling Mount Sinai
the Glow Cloud spoke to him of mysteries
with thundering voice of divine prophecy
about weird nature of our universe
so he carved ten commandments on stone tablet
to paint vision of good moral behavior.
When Shelley stood before remote Mount Blanc
the Glow Cloud whispered legion of wild thoughts
with serene voice of human prophecy
how humans searching for the truth embroider
silent surface of material universe
with hieroglyphs of myth to praise dead gods.
The towering mountain that supports blank sky
beneath crystal shell of unchanging Heaven
stands firm as no throne to some supreme power
who gazes from Glow Cloud of divine truth
at teeming wilderness of life and death
where humans struggle to survive through faith.
What inscrutable cipher of plain truth
this montane heap of stones frosted by snow
looms high as tabula rasa from faith
where frail humans project tentative theorems
of immortal consciousness we name God
for one-eyed father of our wandering tribe.
I am no angry Prometheus bound
by fascist chains of tyranny to peak
of granite promontory jutting sharp
against adamantine walls of paradise
to contemplate nature of my research
stealing fire of change for mankind to wield.
When I stand before slumbering Mount Takoma
the Glow Cloud shimmers mute above her peak
in timeless floating stillness of desire,
illuminating boundless space of silence
so I see structure of atoms congealed
from vibrant pulsing straight through web of light.
The whole universe is structure of atoms,
so construction is atoms forming things
and destruction is atoms breaking apart,
therefore our actions of adjusting force
cause effects of change as forms grow and die
in ceaseless seething sea of pulsing light.
As mortal human with organic brain
that beams virtual model of the real world
I stand before high mountain and perceive
I am that dreaming mind of divine god
who embodies atoms in conscious form
so I sing to give names to everything.
Before Mountain of God I am Surazeus,
gazing with awe at Glow Cloud that floats bright
in shining atmosphere of empty blue sky
where no Heaven as Realm of Ideas stands
unchanging and perfect above our world
where we humans share stories of our lives.
