Quest In The Dream Maze

Quest In The Dream Maze

I run outside to play, but stop surprised 
at pristine beauty of our wretched world 
as star-eyed troubadours have always praised 
conceptual process of the mind ensnarled 
with complex problems how to organize 
ambitious souls crowded in the dream maze. 

I watch as wingless angels with fierce eyes 
compete to own wealth of Ethereum, 
that sprawling city haunted by white crows 
whose flights only I, in delirium, 
can perceive as real with my crystal eyes 
because they guide my quest in the dream maze. 

Ten thousand angels clutching broken lyres, 
who gather around fountain of lonely faith, 
sing quaint psalms of their domestic affairs 
through tradition of Emily and Ruth, 
so I pretend they are my clever spies 
to record their reports in the dream maze. 

Through alchemy of horror-twisted hope, 
by which I transform ideas into things, 
I build new vision of our world landscape 
based on algorithm of holy songs 
which lonely people sing in bold disguise 
while they wander confused in the dream maze. 

As passionate actors on the world stage 
we humans compete to play the Great Star, 
but Greed Clown dominates through subterfuge 
by shouting loudest with devious roar, 
so nameless millions choose to compromise 
when he attempts to rule in the dream maze. 

Assembled on the one-eyed pyramid, 
with fading hope that justice will prevail, 
we call for Cosmic Herald and his squad 
to swoop down from Heaven and play his role 
defeating mad tyrant we all despise, 
yet he still rampages in the dream maze. 

Attempting to forget all the bad news 
about tyrants oppressing nation-states, 
I follow fairy-trails of honey bees 
in Spiderwood where elves in feather coats 
try to comfort Queen Melusine who cries 
at destruction he caused in the dream maze. 

Gowned in gossamer petals of fruit trees, 
we dance with silver moonlight in Stonehenge, 
eager to transcend the next social phase, 
while Apollo gives every soul fresh orange, 
transforming jet planes into butterflies, 
till we regain control in the dream maze.
