Sharp Wand Of Wisdom

Sharp Wand Of Wisdom

Deep in fiery volcano of my heart 
I forge gold crown of innocent faith 
with hammer blows of suffering in despair 
to mold harsh anguish from terrible fear 
at horror of violent death that destroys 
our fragile bodies into rage for life. 

Remembering how hungry demon of hell 
emerged from cavern of horrible fear 
and tore body of my bride with sharp teeth, 
I strike long flame of searing iron light 
with hammer blows loud as her dying screams 
to forge sharp blade as magic wand of wisdom. 

Running forever through forest of ghosts 
tangled with terror of heart-wrenching death, 
I grip strong magic wand of my brave words, 
and shining diamond with sharp blade of truth, 
to face the snarling monster with sharp death 
in brutal battle of kill or be killed. 

Wearing bright gold crown that haloes my head 
with blinding rays reflected from the sun, 
I run howling at demon of despair 
that shrinks back startled by aggressive force 
of desperate hope I project when I thrust 
sharp wand of wisdom deep into its heart. 

Crowned with gold ring of invisible power, 
studded with jewels that reflect sunlight, 
I stand triumphant with victorious strength 
over writhing body of the dying demon 
whose shrill screams echo the terrible pain 
my bride felt when he devoured her pure soul. 

Lifting dead demon on spear of my wand, 
I ascend ziggurat through cheering crowd, 
and enter temple with pillars of gold 
where Goddess Ishtar sits on throne of power, 
then grill demon steaks on the altar stone 
and offer sacrifice to Queen of Love. 

Feasting with Ishtar at Table of Friends, 
while Kinnaru strums lyre and sings my tale, 
I eat heart of the demon I destroyed 
so ancient spirit of its divine power 
fills my heart with flame of volcano fire, 
so I drink wine and howl with joy for life. 

After Ishtar takes me to bed of love 
she bears incarnation of my soul seed, 
who gazes at me with her shining eyes, 
so I train him with martial arts of hope 
to defend sacred people of our land 
by forging fear into sharp wand of wisdom.
