Melody In My Heart

Melody In My Heart

The timeless song of the ocean remains 
the same eloquent swirl of energy 
heard by humans in every generation 
four hundred million years of evolution, 
so every day of loneliness or fear 
I replay its melody in my heart. 

At various points in process of my life 
I find myself sitting inside the room 
of the building where I perform some task, 
walking building to building along roads, 
driving the car to get somewhere more quickly, 
or swimming in the ocean of my dreams. 

The ocean created my soul from light 
by weaving carbon rings in coils of genes 
so on four legs I crawl up river beds 
and rise from lake of dreams at dawn of time 
then climb vast forest of singing trees 
till I evolve from fish to wingless angel. 

Invincible reason of the human brain 
expressing ideal concepts in flawed words 
designs ontology of whole world view 
based on loyal love for wisdom in truth 
that echoes from divine voice of my breath 
while I gaze at my face in pool of faith. 

I wake from dream of light in Nowhere Sea 
and sit on beach of hope to sing my thoughts 
in wordless agony of hungry fear 
till shadow of the sun appears in flesh 
and mother who created me from hope 
teaches me how to eat soul of the Earth. 

From womb of mother ocean I progress 
across the fruited plain of blooming trees 
to share spacious world of bountiful goods 
with every person born from waves of hope 
till greedy men form armies of mad boys 
to build empires that enslave us to work. 

For millions of years we humans proceed 
with clouds of rain over mountains of trees 
to flow with rivers back to mother sea 
while building the world with our fragile bones 
when we bury ancestors in the Earth 
who sprout into children of our desires. 

The timeless song of the ocean expands 
from core of my soul to enclose the globe 
that teems with conscious creatures bearing names 
who sing in harmony with ache of love 
to share bountiful fruit of generous Earth 
and cherish its melody in our hearts.
