Exploding Eye Of Truth

Exploding Eye Of Truth

Plum periwinkle of her aching heart 
contains electric moonlight of the mind 
beside the winding path of solitude 
that leads her down edge of the world sea 
where faceless angels float above the waves 
and laugh with joy at beauty of the Earth. 

Weird jingle-jangle of the tambourine 
rings out across the beach of gratitude 
where children of the moon share secret names 
as they prance wildly among twisted trees 
that reach for crazy sorrow of red clouds 
which resonate with voices of the dead. 

Startled by curious vision of her eyes, 
young woman stops and stares out at the sea 
as beat of dreams and cries of anguished hope 
fade into background of the sparkling sky 
till she sees shadow of the night descend 
on wings of flame that split the mirror mind. 

She ducks as meteor plunges at the cliff 
in flaming streak of terror from the sky, 
and screams alarm to people on the beach 
that star of wisdom plummets at the Earth 
and blooms in bright exploding eye of truth 
which realigns conceptual rules of fate. 

Clutching sheafs of grain in unsettled shock, 
young Shala floats in daze of writhing flames, 
then gasps for breath and opens wide her eyes 
to see star of heaven smoldering on sand, 
so she approaches glowing stone of faith 
with cautious curiosity for truth. 

Turning to face the meteor-frightened crowd, 
Shala declares with voice of certitude 
that Hadad, guardian of their fishing tribe, 
ascended to the stars on demon wings, 
then pried the star of wisdom from cold death 
and hurled its precious treasure to the Earth. 

Beating hot metal with hammer of hope, 
Hadad forges meteor into gold crown 
studded with emeralds, rubies, and sapphires, 
then places halo of the holy spirit 
on head of Shala to illuminate 
timeless beauty of her fructuous soul. 

Parading through large crowd of worshippers, 
Shala reigns on twenty-foot pyramid 
so every soul may see her divine state 
as she prays for rain to nurture their crops, 
then sits at table of the ritual feast 
and weeps when she remembers periwinkles.
