So on this day I skip down to the sea 
to sail my ship to land of Zarathi, 
but on huge boulder, gleaming in hot sun, 
I see three skulls of warriors who had won 
eternal fame in epic tales of heroes 
smiling as mute thrones of three singing sparrows. 

Entranced by eerie music of their song 
they sing in choir before angelic throng, 
I ask three sparrows if they know bold names 
of ancient warriors who once played war games, 
so when they tweet with eyes bright as the moon 
I lounge and listen to their epic tune. 

The first relates fierce madness of Achilles 
who fought cruel king over who owns fillies 
while sacking city of Troy for rich spoils 
in war that unwinds countless mortal coils 
of country boys who sink in gloom of death, 
aching for love as they gasp their last breath. 

The second recounts wiles in many turns 
of Odysseus whose nostalgic heart yearns 
for embrace of his faithful wife at home 
though angry sea god forces him to roam 
till he escapes love priestess who deceives, 
then shoots just arrows to kill greedy thieves. 

The third records arms of homeless Aeneas 
who bears his father with heart of Orpheus 
to sail stormy seas for the Promised Land 
where he kills native king with bloody hand, 
then lays foundation for world empire state 
that still frames ontology of our fate. 

Why are aggressive goons of epic tales, 
I ask myself to analyze details 
of tropes that present tragic lives as great, 
portrayed as noble heroes who fight fate, 
instead of curious seers who search for truth 
whose quests for facts define the clever sleuth. 

I greater value wise philosopher, 
endowed with heart of curious Lucifer, 
who studies essential nature of being 
composed of atoms, forming carbon ring, 
that spiral from First Flash of Divine Light 
which animates our brains with Cosmic Sight. 

Three sparrows dart away into Blue Sky 
so, after I analyze with God Eye 
conceptual nature of our spinning world, 
I record message of the Cosmic Herald 
who wakes as demon in heart of my soul 
refracting pure spirit of the White Whole.
