Weird Traumatic Events

This voice I design from stark agony 
translates screams of horror to songs of joy 
consistent with hope-standard principles 
we humans invent to manage despair 
as we keep walking down the signless road 
through bitter storms to find the Promised Land. 

Expansive scope of concepts I express 
assimilates every possible thought 
that human brains devise from fluid flash 
of images replayed from memory banks 
to analyze weird traumatic events 
and program productive response of faith. 

Young girl hiding in sky-sprawling oak tree 
gasps in shock to see gang of men destroy 
safe family home her wise grandfather built 
with hands that molded matter of the Earth 
to form protective walls of sincere faith 
till grand halls are reduced to rubble heaps. 

Suppressing screams of horrible despair 
so wreckers cannot find her hiding place, 
Minerva runs away into dark woods 
to crouch in cave beside the waterfall 
where her ancestors lived six thousand years 
and hide in shadows of sweet memories. 

Though they destroyed her safe family home 
to build enormous palace for the rich, 
she returns to stand before castle gate 
till someone hires her as the kitchen cook 
where she bakes bread for the wealthy to eat 
while salting their soup with tears of despair. 

One day Orion, playful carefree son 
of the castle king, who loves to chase girls, 
encounters Minerva rolling pie dough, 
and gazes astonished in her bright eyes, 
so they embrace with passionate desire, 
kissing as they grasp each other with love. 

When she gives birth to his first-born male child, 
Orion crowns Minerva princess bride 
while she sits enthroned in long blue silk gown 
so all the dukes and barons in the land 
kneel before her son as baby crown prince, 
then she sings hymn about her faith in God. 

Trapped in small room in the tall castle tower, 
Minerva turns away from the round mirror 
that reveals her wrinkled face and long gray hair, 
then watches her son riding large white horse 
as he leads army of soldiers with spears 
to build world empire under Christ the King.
