My Journey Beyond Fear

My Journey Beyond Fear

Across the vast abyss of daily life 
my ancestors walk in dreams of my heart 
to motivate my journey beyond fear 
through heroic banality of faith 
with calm acceptance of my beating heart 
that love drives me into warm arms of Death. 

This life seems tragic in futility 
of patient building with firm crafting hands 
since Indifferent Nature of spinning Earth 
provides material of substantial wealth 
for me to construct paradise in hell, 
yet destroys my garden with storms of chaos. 

Yet I continue building with my heart 
strong communities of productive rites 
to manage mindless hunger of desire 
with focused process of tending rich crops 
that provide sustenance of soul delight 
which makes our bodies glow with transient hope. 

For twenty thousand years of swirling change 
I build empires of farms and fertile herds 
which I rule from high pyramid of hope 
to manage disputes of opposing needs 
till paradise of my will dissolves to dust 
so ruins clump in waste land of my will. 

Brave Perseus runs down to storm-wracked beach 
where wise Andromeda with star-bright eyes 
breaks free from chains of political greed 
so they unite to battle tyranny 
and found new social system of respect 
that distributes shared wealth to everyone. 

That Heaven, people of this world long for, 
which shines as paragon of social grace 
where every person lives in harmony, 
mirrors imperfect cities of our world 
with vision of how we think life should be, 
providing template we strive to make real. 

Life never will be perfect as we want, 
because some mad Achilles will destroy 
great city we have built with loving hands, 
yet wily Odysseus will recreate 
new state based on hospitality 
where we live as we will, if we harm none. 

As I look back on endless path of life 
that my ancestors blazed around this globe, 
I see how empire rise and fall in waves, 
but always humans find new ways to live, 
so I try to create with craft hands 
transforming our world to Heaven on Earth.
