Voices Of Our Ancestors

If all our sorrows render use complete 
with passion to transcend this frame of flesh, 
might we then watch the dancing tree of fate 
weave voices of our ancestors in flash 
of rain that soaks with bright angelic tears 
expansive meadow of our flowered moon. 

Yet dark gloom looming in angelic wings 
would shroud our world in howling voice of God 
who shouts at us through angry wind of time 
so we lie paralyzed with frantic guilt 
that we could not evade cold hands of death 
who shakes the fragile shelter of our hearts. 

When all seems lost in bleak night of despair, 
and fragile bodies that contain warm souls 
dissolve in slogging mud of wordless fear, 
bright rays of dawn pierce shadows of mute angst 
that startle us awake from rabid dreams, 
and we are born again with cheerful chirps. 

Four hundred thousand years of twirling time 
have not erased that dark night of despair 
from sparkling neurons of my dreaming brain, 
mute terror still encoded in my genes 
passed down through generations of our souls 
to frame how we perceive this godless world. 

Much safer for our mental sanity 
to believe supernatural deity 
howls at us through harsh voice of thunderstorms 
which spurs our fierce intention to improve 
how we perform with stoic fortitude 
this role we choose in drama life remains. 

That faceless demon of dark thunderstorms 
still haunts my memory with its harsh command 
which my ancestors masked with face of God, 
old All-Father with beard and blazing eyes 
who taught us to survive this hostile world 
with martial discipline of loving care. 

So all our fathers forty thousand years 
have merged in concept of our global God 
who glares at us with cruel judgmental eyes 
when foolish mistakes cause destructive pain, 
and trains us to apply strict self-control 
to confirm liberty through natural law. 

Wise teachers who perform paternal role 
teach us to study nature of this world 
with scientific method of the mind, 
recording measured effects of each cause 
which code formulas for physical laws 
so we create good, rather than destroy.
