Mindless God Eye

Reluctant to acknowledge why Death laughs 
at fragile humans focused on their craft 
to create meaning from goops of soft mud, 
I build enormous castle of baked bricks 
to shelter refugees from mindless storm 
so we can sing love songs during the war. 

Confused by laughter of the river snake 
at serious intent of obedient folk 
to praise the warm sun for rising again, 
I bend steamed boards of wood with humble chant 
to build hull of my world-exploring ship 
so we can sail across abyss of hope. 

Disturbed by laughter of the apple tree 
at pious prayers of people traumatized 
by bombs depuzzling everything they love, 
I gather seeds from ruins of the church 
to plant herbs of compassion in the grave 
where corpse of god rots into wriggling worms. 

Excited by laughter of joyous goats 
who prance in meadow of camellias 
that blossom from cracked skulls of warriors, 
I gather lost souls on the signless road 
to form community of honest folk 
who help each other survive bitter days. 

Denied my civil rights to freely laugh 
at how I lose myself to find myself 
by hoarding syllables of naked thought, 
I choose to endure starvation of faith 
that sharpens sensations of ecstasy 
from which I spring to dance in tears of rain. 

Confounded by laughter of hope for love 
through mystic monolog of desert streams 
where thirsty angels crawl on hands and knees, 
I map every road that leads to my heart 
which is not center of the universe 
where mindless God Eye dreams itself in me. 

Concealed by veil of mist on Lone Tree Hill 
that laughs at haughty pride of the Moon Wolf 
who operates book shop on the ocean cliff, 
I write with blood of angels in blank book 
chronicle of my destiny I choose 
by swerving randomly on road of life. 

Erased by laughter of the empty sky 
at how immortal soul of genes designs 
this mortal body of my present life, 
I cannot see which face I wear today 
when I gaze in mirror of the forest pool 
till I fall and drown in my memories.
