Though famous humans, who were loved as gods, 
have disappeared from hymns that people sing, 
their ghosts haunt stories we refuse to tell 
since they would traumatize our hearts again, 
so I stand outside locked door of the church 
and gaze at the moon that has never changed. 

Terrifying moments of shocking fear, 
when our ancestors barely evaded death, 
flash as visions in my mind all day long 
to energize secret morals that guide 
how I perform my role on stage of life 
each moment I wake in the farewell light. 

From stories that present their tragic loss 
I learn lessons that show cause and effect 
so I can avoid those mistakes they made 
as I navigate endless maze of myths 
where we all wander lost in fog of fears 
till I find weird secret of happiness. 

The gods of ancient heavens have all died, 
and fallen to the Earth on tattered wings, 
so I measure new curve of who I am 
that turns into the almost of my soul 
which I hide with mask I carve from the skull 
my first mother wore by the singing sea. 

I see all their lost faces in my face 
when I gaze in bright mirror of the moon 
that sends white raven of the midnight snow 
to give me mushroom from cavern of dreams 
which wakes every ancestor in my brain 
so I integrate them in One I Eye. 

The doorless room that frames my eager mind 
encloses spirals through infinity 
deep inside coils of countless dreaming eyes 
so I see what is real outside my head 
beyond illusion of these words I speak 
to buzz abundant spells of honesty. 

Astute conception blooming from my cells 
casts beams of sunlight into fluid waves 
so fish that change direction with one mind 
reflect how people in communities 
perform with zeitgeist of the puppeteer 
who paints reality as it appears. 

Now awake as the dreaming eye-machine, 
I assemble puzzle of words that weave 
fractal dimensions of eternity 
from fragments of frightening memories 
in global tapestry of psychic tropes 
which formulate how we describe the truth.
