Sacred Mirror Of The Oracle

Sacred Mirror Of The Oracle

I walk without my shadow on the Earth 
while all vast cities of the world dissolve 
to lost stories of legendary deeds 
since frantic hunger of this eager life 
is bright illusion of the dancing flame 
that whorls abundance of the secret name. 

I dance with beam of sunlight in my heart 
at blinking signal of the traffic light 
while searching endless maze of city streets 
for sacred mirror of the oracle 
that should reveal rules of the global game 
we play to win vain laurels of world fame. 

I play chess with blind Death on beach of truth 
to wake my innate voice of noble thoughts 
illumined by light slanting through cracked eyes 
revealing where our signless road should go 
from birth to nothingness of mortal dream 
so we lounge chatting by the mountain stream. 

I climb tall monument to some dead god 
with plan to play his role in game of life 
till spirit of his passion fills my heart 
with urgent mission of messiah sleuth 
to reform system of our social scheme 
so everyone may work for the same team. 

Abundance of our conscious hungry souls 
provides incentive for constructive work 
erecting paradise of apple trees 
on rotten ruins of religious creeds 
so we map roads where war refugees roam 
by hiding safe in our heavenly home. 

Reluctance of programmers to police 
cluttered clemency of the urban zone 
converts believers in the cosmic wraith 
to seekers who research nature of things 
that bloom ideas in celestial dome 
which prophets chronicle in the dream tome. 

We walk for peace from sea to shining sea 
with holy demons of exploited hearts 
in search for justice free from slavery 
though nothing guarantees our victory 
because all conscious minds will sink in gloom 
therefore we float faceless in the blank room. 

We share our stories by the homely hearth 
to bury sorrows of forgotten years 
then cart ripe fruit to market by the lake 
where we feast as the new year wakes our hearts 
to celebrate our bodies of the womb 
that dissolve to dust in the vine-veiled tomb.
