When Saturn Leads Us

When Saturn Leads Us

I stroll down Sunshine Avenue at noon 
in ancient city of the prancing horse, 
and look for face of God in mirror moon 
to feel electric power of the Force, 
but all I see are mortal souls like me 
who seek to comprehend Eternity. 

Mute ghosts of poets who once lived on Earth 
and sang visions of truth with clarion voice 
guide me on quest to find secret of birth 
when man and woman make romantic choice 
to generate new life from glowing genes 
so we can play our roles in tragic scenes. 

Reborn from Egg of Hope on ocean beach 
each generation we evolve from light, 
I open my heart to what Death may teach 
when I soar to Heaven with eager flight 
only to discover nothing but clouds 
that spill fertile rain on lamenting crowds. 

I fly airplane around the spinning world 
then stand on stage in crowded church of faith 
to foretell coming of the Cosmic Herald 
who battles tyranny of the Mind Wraith, 
opposing ministers of monarchy 
by building strong state on democracy. 

Renewal of organic conscious life 
who tend fruit trees from rich abundant soil 
blooms from word seeds that fund our social strife 
to gain our earned reward from daily toil 
when Saturn spreads bold wings of fortitude 
to build empire he rules from solitude. 

We find in hearts that ache from bitter pain 
bold courage to assert our right to live 
free from oppression of their greedy reign 
with liberation through power to give 
when Saturn leads us to the Promised Land 
with legal sickle in his honest hand. 

So when the White Crow of the silver sky 
flies spirals over temple of the cow 
I climb Saturnius Mountain with one eye 
fixed on the shining monolith of How 
to forum where sweet Ceres sells baked bread 
we soak in honey to honor the dead. 

To maintain peace in Garden of the Bride 
I grasp the labrys double-bladed ax, 
bound with twelve magic wands of the Dream Guide, 
then construct world view based on measure facts 
through paradigm that forms reality 
where every soul lives well in liberty.
