Our Journey Toward Life

Our Journey Toward Life

Weird vision swelling in my word-bound heart, 
sparked by dim memory from some year long past, 
expands beyond stark light of timeless hour 
that forms foundation of my mental state 
which binds my restless soul in static form 
fueled by strict coil of chemical swirls. 

Intense emotion of ten million lives, 
that highlights timeless moments of despair 
when each ancestor woven in my mind 
sat huddled in dark shadow of cold fear, 
cloaks my wild beating heart with hopeless faith 
in stoic patience to endure the storm. 

This hour that passes with tedious cadence 
spreads firm foundation of enduring hope 
as base of courage that supports my cause 
derived from memories of my previous lives 
when my ancestors countless times before 
endured this same paralyzing despair. 

Their memories, preserved as mythical tropes 
in genetic code that programs my brain, 
provide clear guidance through envisioned play 
for how I might endure crisis I face, 
so through habitual rite of gestured force 
I overcome hard obstacles of fear. 

So many people living on this Earth 
descend from same first mother of my soul 
whose fierce intent of passion to survive 
links all our minds with universal view 
we share in code of language we express 
that forms moral assumptions she designed. 

As if we read minds of strangers we meet 
we share unspoken world view she composed 
based on experience of suffering with hope 
that she endured with firm desire to win 
by adjusting energy of despair 
to motivate her drive creating life. 

With every gesture of her bodied soul 
that she programmed in how our brains perform 
she designed our shared human character 
that forms our universal ideal soul 
so we project our best perfected self 
as image of God that guides how we act. 

From memories of how our ancestors lived, 
learning ritual acts in daily routines 
that ensure we survive and generate 
new life in children who grow beyond us, 
we invent concept of our perfect God 
as template that guides our journey toward life.
