Shifting Tide Of Change

Shifting Tide Of Change

I feel shifting tide of change in the world 
as if some great spirit of hope is born 
from terrible suffering of countless hearts 
that weep from pain of unstoppable loss 
as bodies transform into strange new souls 
who transcend sorrow with passion of love. 

When strange wind from mystical mountain blows 
white blossoms of apple trees round our homes, 
eternal flame of our ancestral souls 
flickers with lithe agitation of faith 
that sparks ethereal song of timeless joy 
from deep inside dark cavern of my heart. 

Deep in abyss of ocean canyon cave 
weird light of ancient mother egg-eye glows 
with song of atoms flashing mind of god 
that spirals wild from first flash of the big bang 
to motivate each fierce beat of my heart 
so I breathe spirit of the universe. 

Our spinning globe is swirl of molecules 
that aggregate in live chemical forms 
from rings of six-electron carbon coils 
that weave neural network of dreaming brains 
when the universe of possible truths 
wakes in conscious awareness of I Am. 

Our planet had been spinning in the void 
four billion years before our souls evolved 
to build empires along lush river vales, 
and will keep spinning eight billion years more 
long after we all dissipate to dust, 
yet still we fight over who eats and breeds. 

Our nation transforms every eighty years 
through four-generation cycles of change, 
so though the way of live we long have known 
scatters our families far across the land 
we will build new social system of peace 
to organize life-affirming routines. 

When the rich grow strong oppressing the poor 
through institutions of body control, 
some Samson or Kaveh with sense of justice 
will rise as Hidden Dragon from the crowd 
to shatter privilege of money power, 
then enforce equal rights for everyone. 

When I sense tide of change swell in the world 
I build ark that unites nations of Earth 
big enough to include all living souls 
in global system of fair human rights 
with standard laws of liberty for all 
so we live as we will if we harm none.
