Glass Bones Of My Soul

Glass Bones Of My Soul

When glass bones of my soul hum at midnight 
I hear songs of star angels emanate 
through words I express with breath of my soul 
that flash as lightning bolts across my brain 
to luminate infinite space of silence 
that beams as bridge between our pulsing hearts. 

Bearing gold sword of truth in my right hand, 
as bold wizard of Dragon Mountain Lake, 
I guard secret haven where my clan dwells 
to protect my family home from invaders, 
who would enslave our bodies with cruel greed, 
so we live through justice and liberty. 

Lounging on the wood porch behind my house, 
on gold-sultry evening in early May, 
I strum guitar and sing heart-aching tunes 
about our human journey through the world 
to find safe haven amid social chaos 
as craftsman who creates with nimble hands. 

I play so many characters of fate 
during the course of ten thousand lifetimes, 
as I evolve from hunter and clan guard 
to poet and cartographer of tales, 
that I forget they all form who I am, 
guiding my journey to become myself. 

Once I am done with this current lifetime, 
I will hang my face as mask of my soul 
in ancient gallery of psychic tropes 
along with millions of other dream-singers 
whose words are written on river of time 
that waters plains of wheat fields and cow herds. 

Every man composed of flesh fueled by blood, 
who plays conceptual idea of Tribe Leader 
to define history of humanity, 
transforms into idol of marbled words, 
recorded in the Book of Faceless Gods, 
while their bodies rot to dust in the Earth. 

When I was in third decade of my life, 
brain buzzing with ambition to transcend 
role of prophet for nonexistent God, 
I hitchhiked great land of America 
with spirit of Apollo in my heart 
to sing chronicle of humanity. 

Now I wield wand with the two-headed snake 
as Bridge Builder in Temple of Athena 
to chant prophecy of the cosmic herald 
who builds world empire of Anglonesia 
from Europe, Russia, and America, 
to rule new United Nations of Earth.
