Attentive Scope Of Faith

These boots have tread lush hills of distant lands 
where strangers welcomed me with generous hands, 
and brought home lurid chunks of fertile soil 
to plump flourishing garden of my heart 
with sacred elements of ancient truth 
which nourish fruit trees of my paradise. 

This coat has flapped in winds of rugged hills 
where fairies teased me with conceptual tricks, 
and served as wings like those Icarus used 
to transcend narrow mindset of my tribe 
so I expand attentive scope of faith 
while mapping maze of myths with strict insight. 

This hat has sheltered my frail head from storm 
hurled by indifferent Nature without care, 
and shaded gaze of my observant eyes 
so I progress on sacred quest for truth 
that lead to cave of illusions in Hell 
where I retrieved bright diamond Eye of God. 

This pack has borne treasures of hopeful dreams 
which I have found in tombs of long-dead gods, 
so I display them in museum halls 
as records of our human quest for beauty 
for they bear spirits of creative minds 
long after their mortal craftsmen have died. 

This wand, that Zambor forged from meteor stone 
which blazed from haughty hand of Jupiter, 
provides emotional support through trust 
for my ascension on long winding road 
around snow-frosted Peak of Mount Takoma 
where Kwan Yin and Athena grant me visions. 

This book of tales, detailing human lives 
of every soul who ever lived on Earth, 
records grand epic deeds of mortal men 
as tragic heroes or romantic fools 
who battle tyrants in fraught game of power 
to maintain justice of wise Liberty. 

This tongue of eloquent expressiveness 
has sung elaborate tales of human deeds 
to praise the curious seekers of truth 
who built foundation of philosophy 
on which our world civilization thrives 
as efficient food-production machine. 

This brain of neurons woven from bright atoms, 
which has evolved four hundred million years, 
generates virtual model of our world 
programmed by my ancestral memories 
while we strive to transcend material form 
and become manifestation of God.
