When Snow White flees into dark woods of gloom 
to escape killers her step-mother sends, 
then falls weeping in wilderness of fear 
after losing her family and home, 
she finds in her heart nothing of her faith, 
then smiles and sets out to find her new home. 

When Ophelia weeps with bitter rage 
while gathering flowers on the river shore, 
because the man she trusts to guard her heart 
humiliates her with mocking insults, 
she dives in death with nothing of her faith 
and floats singing down the river of dreams. 

When Eve bites apple of wisdom with trust 
that she will learn about nature of life 
how people are good and evil at once, 
she kills the devil who enslaves her soul 
with weapon made from nothing of her faith 
to manage her garden of apple trees. 

When Clementine crawls from river of tears 
and climbs rugged hills to cave of illusions, 
to find jewels gleaming with light of truth 
preserved since first flash at the dawn of time, 
she hides heart-wealth in nothing of her faith 
which powers her rocket ship to the stars. 

When Alice steals the map to Wonderland 
that Grendel keeps stored in his writing desk, 
then runs through gate to Hell with sign that warns, 
"Abandon all hope, you who enter here," 
she eats mushrooms from nothing of her faith 
and grows wings of Icarus to fly home. 

When Minerva rides white horse of salvation 
to arrest Midas for stealing our hope 
and blowing up Temple of Truth with hate, 
she guides our project to rebuild our state 
with principles from nothing of our faith 
based on image of her angelic wraith. 

When Ishtar stands on Pyramid of Truth 
to spread her arms with rising of the sun, 
and sings Creation of the Universe 
that flares forth from first flash of the big bang, 
she writes wisdom in nothing of our faith 
as holy scripture that defines our world. 

When I wake in eternity of now 
and dream strange beauty of our universe 
that manifests changing chemical forms 
from concepts in Heaven Realm of Ideas, 
I write scripture from nothing of my faith 
which codes creed of Astarianity.
