New Language Of The Heart

New Language Of The Heart

High in suspended leap of twisted truth, 
I dream I fly above the broken world, 
recycled spirit nurtured by nine stars 
sparked bright to animate frame of my mind 
that binds my body firm with ardent faith 
through delusion of immortality. 

Weird memory from my random life of hope 
reverses mirror image of my brain 
projected on taut tapestry of time 
with grafted token of reluctant pride 
entranced with patterns of humility 
that children imitate in mocking play. 

Reborn as Waterbearer for the world, 
I stride bleak desolation of regret 
with pitcher full of sweet demonic tears 
imprinted clear with august arrogance 
which culminates in victory for the swift 
who focus brave attention on the truth. 

Despite adverse arrangement of hard words 
plucked from heart of the siren with my need, 
my ghost engages strangers on the road 
in wordless dialog of hollow hope 
that sings in wind on tips of changeless dunes 
because we build our home on shifting lies. 

Since hurricanes of fierce indifferent faith 
speak not the same language our brains invent 
we stand awake in eyes of faceless ghosts 
when we explore the endless maze of doors 
where people talk about the civil war 
that rages in some weird land far away. 

Engaged in journey to the Promised Land 
that shimmers bright in words of holy books, 
we ask each other questions about faith 
so we might grow through solidarity 
though trees bend humbly in torrents of rain 
which teaches us new language of the heart. 

When I arrive on shore of this brave land 
after sailing frail boat on the storm-wracked sea, 
I speak of how I feel to blooming trees 
but all my thoughts disperse as autumn leaves 
so I forget odd mystery I had seen 
which leaves my soul stranded in paradise. 

Though voiceless after losing train of thought, 
I walk in every city of our land 
filling cups of the thirsty with strange tales 
that fill their hearts with new experiences 
so our dark hearts bloom as refreshing fruit 
that angels eat to remember our names.

  1. Orpheus emerges from cave of the underworld and sits alone on thought-stone by the river to contemplate how language frames our perceptions of the world.
