Terrible Beauty Of Life

The deathless mother of the spinning world 
uncoils bodies of her children from light 
illuminating garden of her heart, 
and breathes ethereal spirit of the stars 
that animates their minds with conscious love 
to savor terrible beauty of life. 

The spirit of blackness inside our brains 
expresses shadow of time on world lake 
in shifting flashes of astounded souls 
who sing with silence of eternal love 
ever blooming as fruit trees on the shore 
to reflect terrible beauty of life. 

The dark demon that sleeps inside my heart 
motivates my quest to explore the world 
in search for relics of the mindless god 
that vibrates atoms in matrix of souls 
through cry that inhabits my eager ache 
to express terrible beauty of life. 

The dream of tumbling planets blossoms bright 
with glowing halo of torn angel wings 
conceals my pilgrimage to sea-side town 
where barefoot children play with hungry waves 
on sunlit tidal flats of endless hope 
to reveal terrible beauty of life. 

The delicate schooner gliding on froth 
sails past vague shores of lush Elysium 
where ancient monstrous gods of primal lust 
lie under blue unchanging sheen of time, 
veiled by gold curtain of serpentine light, 
to challenge terrible beauty of life. 

The sleeping beauty of the ruined castle 
rises on malignant wings of desire 
to hold frail human heart in trembling hands 
that pulses taut with anguish of intent 
as shining instrument that creates souls 
to revive terrible beauty of life. 

The stark indifferent moon smiles at my mind 
with buzzing gaze of wordless ecstasy 
that borrows secret passion I employ 
constructing virtual world my brain designs 
with concept of vulnerable loneliness 
to restore terrible beauty of life. 

The shadow of love shrouds my heart in faith 
that fuels aggressive force my mind restrains 
so I can channel energy of love 
through throbbing therapy within the horse 
still searching the Promised Land for my grave 
to design terrible beauty of life.
