Chase The Rainbow Ghost

Atrocious process of the supine mind 
expands contrary hope for fractured rain 
that readjusts how eyes perceive strange wind 
except when children chase the rainbow ghost 
who gambles for the fool to win the game 
though she just started learning yesterday. 

Lost in dark Paris streets of tangled fate 
one hundred years ago from this taut hour, 
my spirit seeks in maze of mirror masks 
defrayed excuse to chase the rainbow ghost 
in fight against the clown of everywhere 
whose tricks defraud the faithful of their truth. 

Yet time unwinds electric clocks of fear 
defined by numbers twisted to reflect 
irreverent code for programming weird shows 
that depict how gods chase the rainbow ghost 
who slithers from deep well of Melusine 
with broken lyre no angel wants to play. 

If best way to experience primal faith 
is hiking rugged river trail of pines 
where silver water tumbles famously 
with eager flight to chase the rainbow ghost 
across enormous boulders of respect, 
I sit and smell sharp scent of mountain dirt. 

With playful leaps of artful gratitude 
I hop enormous boulders of my heart 
to ask weird wizard of surreal airports 
secret we need to chase the rainbow ghost 
who builds new hydrostone church of the goat 
we should expunge from list of lonely halls. 

Her white dress spread on lawn of sacred trust, 
Faith smiles with innocence of golden flowers 
that shimmer at soft breath of her moist lips 
as she watches me chase the rainbow ghost 
embodied by the horse with flowing mane 
whose eyes glow with honest flames of her heart. 

Death invents new way of speaking our hearts 
so we wave flags of national intent 
to protest neglect of our serpent bones 
left behind when we chase the rainbow ghost 
in sepia rain that helps us understand 
shades of umber extracting clouds of thought. 

Dire crickets pixilate snowflakes of passion 
which proves the afterlife never occurs, 
described by monologue of pretty souls 
who carve machines that chase the rainbow ghost 
in vain attempt to recreate the world 
in image of the beast with fragile wings.
