Surprised by beauty of the sudden sun 
that strips cold darkness from essence of things, 
I feel my soul emerge from words of books 
to float through troposphere of psychic waves 
and surf eclectic tides of social change 
when I decide to jump the clock of fate. 

Gold rays of dawn illuminate my face 
as I stride bravely down the signless road 
to leave valley home of wheatfields behind 
and journey to the castle court of power 
to join the justice squad of loyalty 
when I conspire to jump the clock of fate. 

Startled by serpent of Tiresias, 
who guards gate of Heaven with Wand of Weird, 
I solve strange riddle of his honey tongue 
that man is mask of his ancestral ghost, 
then enter paradise with cautious faith 
when I arrive to jump the clock of fate. 

Assigned to assist honest Sisyphus, 
I perform role of psychic architect 
to construct cathedral of slanting light 
that calculates through angled formulas 
immortal spirit of the spinning wheel 
when I resolve to jump the clock of fate. 

Alert to clever scheme of Tantalus 
to crown his son, mad Midas, King of Earth, 
I reassign the chess-game characters 
by changing rules of interactive play 
allowing me to win against his greed 
when I contrive to jump the clock of fate. 

Inspired by frantic faith of Icarus 
to escape tower where Rapunzel weeps, 
I soar above the endless maze of myths 
to fracture idols of dead gods with truth 
whose howling voices scream from violins 
when I ascend to jump the clock of fate. 

Amazed by wisdom of calm Athamas 
to rescue Daphne from the laurel tree, 
I dive with courage in the surging sea 
and rescue Helle from depths of despair 
so we raise children in our apple grove 
when I refuse to jump the clock of fate. 

Five hundred years ago in swirl of time 
more than one million separate human beings 
over twenty generations converge 
to wake as memories in my dreaming brain 
so I expand my divine consciousness 
when I contract to jump the clock of fate.
