Blank Page Of Thought

When you are faced with the blank page of thought, 
yield to impulse to say what you desire 
for there is no perfect sentence of words 
that depict vast complexity of life 
which spirals into galaxies of worlds 
from atoms tangled in matrix of dreams. 

There is only spell you need to express 
memories of events you experience 
that your brain records when you wake from dream 
as you breathe spirit of conceptual air 
to narrate weird state of reality 
at this hour you perceive it with clear truth. 

It is the nature of this flowing world 
that we are fragile chemical machines 
who navigate strange landscape of desire 
in endless search for nutritional fruit 
which animates our bodies with compassion, 
then we sing visions about how we feel. 

Translating process of experience 
to record effects from cause of our actions 
composes program of textual expression 
we employ to encode wisdom we learn, 
converting cultural concepts into memes 
that we pass to children we educate. 

So when you wake from dream of hungry hope 
at dawning light of wild epiphany 
on shifting sands of the blank ocean shore, 
heart pulsing with resurgent tides of fear, 
breathe in deep cosmic spirit of weird truth 
and sing that vision glowing in your eyes. 

Time generates our bodies from dark light 
at hydrothermal vents of ecstasy, 
so we rise from mute womb of Mother Sea 
to crawl fresh-water rivers to Dream Cave 
where we climb Tree of Knowledge with desire 
to eat sweet fruit of wisdom from the sun. 

From there we journey to the Promised Land, 
evolving through bodies mother to child, 
fish to lizard to mouse to cat to ape 
to wingless angel eager to transcend 
limiting scope of what our eyes perceive 
when we share stories of experience. 

When you gaze aching at blank page of thought 
and seek to write sentence of perfect words, 
trust bright instinct of your heart to express 
conceptual truth glowing in your eyes now, 
for what you have to say this radiant hour 
is what you need to sing before you die.
