Way Too Far Away

Way Too Far Away

Even though you seem way too far away, 
remote as cold stars of unmeasured time, 
my heart returns from void of snowy fields 
so I can reach across abyss of fear 
and give you treasure I found in the woods, 
which must not be the shadow of my name. 

Therefore I shall outline multiple paths 
to gain majority of voiceless thoughts 
across rugged terrain of secret hopes 
where forsythia spills over river banks 
in disabled meadow of broken doors 
where curious children invent new myths. 

Durable books contain our enterprise 
to climb inflated hills of heritage, 
impressive with knowledge of integers 
introduced by jewels in faceless ponds 
where mutual friends ponder new mystery 
concerning novel ownership of faith. 

Petulant lovers exchange moral jokes 
based on productive game of give and take 
fueled by fierce opposition to loss 
despite arrogant state of curious doubt 
that strengthens our fraught relationship well 
enough to notice our hard-earned success. 

Avoiding pitfalls every teacher maps 
through pledge to investigate observed facts 
with measured analysis based on fear, 
we consolidate unspoken concerns 
in clever proverbs old people recite 
when they remember lessons learned from pain. 

Through strife to become more consciously real 
as organic being of chemical lust 
I transcend bitter angst of suffering 
which liberates my soul from prison camp 
where my mind stays trapped after eighty years 
though my body lounges in paradise. 

Paradox of still shapes that never move 
through shards of time devised by ticking clocks 
reveals illusion of motion I rule 
as spiral swirl computing finite curve 
that arcs conceptual change of constant war 
toward perfect impersonation of God. 

Beyond the utmost bound of divine words 
I follow knowledge on the Golden Path 
through dream-tangled woods of pulsing masks 
to catch electric star of blood-hot faith 
that leaves me stranded in yard of your heart 
so we can be together for all time.
