Journey Around The World

Journey Around The World

Halfway to the other side of the world 
I find the valley where I was first born 
when I crawled from the lake of dreaming eyes 
to climb the tree of truth for tryst with love 
who gives me fruit of innocent respect, 
so I return to water of my soul. 

Climbing endless stairway to golden clouds 
where angels play harps in grand crystal halls, 
I stop and look back down the winding road 
where I have journeyed for millions of years, 
amazed I continue to generate 
new bodies for ascension beyond death. 

Soft yellow shortness of infinity 
expands surrounding tightness of my heart 
to breathe celestial wind of honest hope 
that song of sorrow in the rippling stream 
may heal the festering wounds of blind despair 
that never trap me in the Promised Land. 

Each life I generate with you evolves 
fish to lizard to mouse to cat to monkey 
to wingless angel singing thoughts of faith 
while strumming lyre designed by Mercury 
to help me manage buzz of anxious rage 
and translate fear to vision of creation. 

My thoughts are pebbles on vast ocean shore, 
polished by ninety million years of waves 
that pump hot blood of vanity in veins 
of tangled matrix containing my soul 
which radiates bright from neurons of my brain 
till my frame dissolves from indifferent rain. 

While holding pink lotus blooms in her hands, 
she smiles at me with pure angelic joy 
that glows as fragile candle of delight 
through vast eternity of heavy gloom, 
so we embrace and generate new life 
who sings still long after we disappear. 

Breathing ethereal spirit of the sun, 
I control swirl of anxious energy 
that buzzes into tangles of regret 
in taut accumulation of fierce guilt, 
then transform fear into brave confidence 
through mental action of composing songs. 

After four hundred million years of growth 
through quadrupedal forms from fish to god 
I analyze true nature of my being 
to gaze with wonder at our spinning globe 
from which sprouts conscious spirits in the flesh 
who journey around the world countless times.
