Blinded by the light of my shattered soul, 
I assemble fragments of memories 
in confusing puzzle of random deeds 
that mirror character of Zeus I play 
through anxious attempt to survive each day 
by singing weird hymns to the beautiful. 

Amused by the light of my shattered soul, 
I reconfigure concept of my being 
to mimic noble deeds of Sisyphus 
who builds enormous temple on the hill 
with ten thousand stones he rolls to the top 
where we gather to feast before we die. 

Confused by the light of my shattered soul, 
I grasp writhing serpent of energy 
that transgenders body my soul designs 
to experience love like Tiresias 
who lives as both man and woman in turn 
to gain expansive knowledge of desire. 

Intrigued by the light of my shattered soul, 
I explore exotic landscape of dreams, 
morphing mouse to cat to monkey to man 
when I climb towering mountains of Guilin 
and swing among trees sea to shining sea 
then walk upright in surging tides of faith. 

Baffled by the light of my shattered soul, 
I search for divine idea of God 
in vibrant spirit of my dreaming brain 
so I grow into best self I can be 
through strict discipline of religious faith 
to focus attention on soul rebirth. 

Bemused by the light of my shattered soul, 
I study unique state of character 
each human learns to express through pain 
that forges pulsing souls of hungry hope 
into lithe angelic beings of respect 
who wander in maze of myths we invent. 

Flummoxed by the light of my shattered soul, 
I grope through ever-shifting veils of words 
that weave illusions of national pride 
from desperate desire to live in calm peace 
through tribal warfare to control the globe 
by claiming our God created this Earth. 

Inspired by the light of my shattered soul, 
I remove Mask of God that hides my face 
so I can fly with wings of Icarus 
while bearing Lamp of Liberty with faith 
as Lucifer who brings light to the world 
to guide souls home with lyre of Mercury.
