Fall In Void Of Time

Fall In Void Of Time

Since death will always catch us by surprise, 
though we are sure it could strike any time, 
we boldly plunge into river of life 
to transcend horror of aggressive force 
in vain attempt to attain paradise 
till we pluck fruit of love from tree of hope. 

I should go cautious into that good night 
to traverse safely dangerous terrain 
where monsters lurk in pitfalls of despair 
waiting to devour the careless fool 
who stumbles into shadow of false hope 
without attentive study of desire. 

Through careful measurement of hostile space 
that looms around me with dark jagged rage 
I glide through chilly shadow of despair 
on slow tentative steps to test firm ground 
because my head buzzes with shock of truth 
that death could strike me down at any time. 

Illusion of this world I think is real 
crumbles away beneath my trembling feet, 
and sacred treasures shining in my hands 
are blown away by harsh winds of disdain 
to scatter all my hopes on fractured ground 
so I feel myself fall in void of time. 

Though I fall tumbling into swirling gloom 
my impact shatters frame of aptitude 
to blast wide open howling space of hell 
that hollows anguish from indifferent lust 
so I create my paradise from fear 
I guard from death with sweet hymn of true love. 

Though I am cast from heaven of my faith 
and lose security of fiscal aid 
till treasures I make with my crafting hands 
are stolen from sacred vault of my heart, 
yet I will build from nothingness of why 
new paradise of fruit trees with my will. 

No matter where I walk in quest of life 
on nameless nowhere roads in maze of myths 
my heart is home of confident respect 
for death still walks beside me to the end, 
bright glowing shadow hovering over me 
though I steal wings of desire and try to fly. 

Since death will someday catch me by surprise 
while I perform creative rites of faith 
I dance with swirling ocean waves of truth 
to comprehend weird language of our brains 
till I arrive on stage of bloody hope 
when I feel myself fall in void of time.
