Awakened by music of the Star Mind 
that chimes alarmingly soft in night wind, 
Zara glides on beach of the moon-white sea 
to listen for faint voices of the dead 
who whisper their names in forgotten song 
that only she can hear in tweets of larks. 

When silver jet with angelic wings glides 
across dark evening sky of the Star Mind, 
Zara hides under branches of the cypress 
to blank her face invisible to Death, 
but shivers when she feels his burning eyes 
regard her fragile soul with mocking grin. 

"This plum tree that blooms on the river shore 
might be the tree where Eve ate of the fruit, 
so I too will consume pure Plum of Truth 
to gain arcane wisdom of the Star Mind," 
Zara whispers while tasting sweet despair 
to savor strangeness of still being alive. 

"Though bombs no longer blast our garden homes, 
I still feel explosions of naked light 
flash my eyes blind with terror at false hope," 
Zara tries to explain to the Star Mind 
that stares at her from the dark evening sky, 
"but I forgot how to sing about love." 

Breathing deep innocence of the Star Mind 
with bold intensity of cautious hope, 
Zara hums melody of ocean waves 
that glitter on the shore of spongy sand 
where her footsteps capture puddles of tears 
that vibrate in harmony with her heart. 

"I perceive in mirror of the Star Mind 
honest compassion Faceless God designed 
as shining beacon of conceptual faith 
that guides me on Way of the Cosmic Wraith 
across the waste land of ignorant greed 
to paradise where I plant this fruit seed." 

Ghosts of soldiers emerge from the Star Mind, 
surrounding her safe cypress tree with guns, 
and hollow Voice of Death declares with doom, 
"We must destroy this Messenger of Peace 
for she is destined to found world religion 
that merges all religions in new faith." 

Trembling in terror at the Voice of Doom, 
Zara stands and walks barefoot in the sand 
toward ghosts of soldiers clutching guns of fear, 
and with enchanting song of timeless love 
dispels them with music of the Star Mind 
that flows in waves of truth across the land.
