Ghostly Clockwork Soul

Ghostly Clockwork Soul

Stretching my shadow with the evening sun 
till my spirit is equal to its size, 
I study memories programmed in my brain 
based on experience my ancestors lived 
to understand my ghostly clockwork soul 
that conjures function of my conscious mind. 

Tall marble idol on bright ocean shore 
peers deep in hollow eggshell of my brain 
to name electric dragon of my heart 
who shows me splendor of hope-blinded world 
that reprojects my ghostly clockwork soul 
on swirling mirror of the faceless moon. 

Taut whirling of the psychometric wind 
teaches me to adapt my character 
to special features of the hungry land 
so I evolve from fish to wingless angel 
with mask designed by ghostly clockwork soul 
who animates my mother with Star Words. 

With knitting needles of the cosmic hand 
I weave vast matrix of the paradox 
defining beauty of disparate thoughts, 
contrast with ugliness of confidence, 
from clicking gears in ghostly clockwork soul 
which motivates my quest for find the Grail. 

Dissymmetry of arbitrary roads 
on which I travel toward the rising sun 
adjusts direction of my compass brain 
to translate thunder of the laughing storm 
from language of my ghostly clockwork soul 
when I meditate on state of my being. 

Unbroken view of effortless respect 
reveals sensation of my breathless joy 
advancing through dark valley of despair 
to dance on beach of interwoven words 
that fuel flight of my ghostly clockwork soul 
with sacred riddles of the singing snake. 

Across great ocean of my endless dreams 
I sail bold boat of laughter toward the moon 
to stand outside fraught framework of my mind 
so I can see the fractured universe 
as mirror of my ghostly clockwork soul 
refracting tranquil nothingness of love. 

I breathe ethereal spirit of the light 
connecting my frail mortal Self of faith 
with immortal deity of my genes 
to build this temporary home of dreams 
in landscape of my ghostly clockwork soul 
designed by progress of necessity.
