Honey and butter on toasted sourdough bread 
delight my heart with pleasure of sweet taste 
when I contemplate strange meaning of life 
at home with my family on Sabbath night, 
soul bathed in nurturing glimmer of light, 
revived by energy of ardent hope. 

No angel may hear me when I cry out 
with terror at beauty of life and death, 
but humans on Earth understand my song 
when I vanish in power of soul light 
that designs my mind with loving insight, 
transformed by energy of ardent hope. 

Unleashing wings of desire from my heart, 
I throw emptiness out of my bound arms 
to expand space of joy where I may breathe 
ethereal spirit of demonic might 
on which I pass fear with intimate flight, 
propelled by energy of ardent hope. 

Pure Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil 
rises from rotten desire of my heart 
to tremble with silence of timeless change 
that intimates beginning of my flight 
to sing with Orpheus in sheltering light, 
enshrined by energy of ardent hope. 

Sparked awake by first blissful tone of love, 
which Orpheus teaches me to express 
with ringing melody I play on lyre, 
I ask Death to elucidate mortal plight 
as theme that consumes me with anguished fight, 
restored by energy of ardent hope. 

Alert to monstrous horror of desire 
that drives men to kill each other for power 
in mindless rage to gain immortal life, 
I seize divine strength to play slender lyre 
with passionate breath of pneumatic rite, 
contrived by energy of ardent hope. 

Message that creates itself from my voice 
when I declare with optimistic faith 
that we weave our fate with each choice we make, 
grows monstrous when exposed to cogent light 
that glow of our conscious mind is finite, 
unbroken by energy of ardent hope. 

Possessed by spirit Orpheus radiates, 
I sing redemption of passionate love 
that fills our hearts with mountain strength of faith 
to aid each other when our souls recite 
holy hymns we help playful sprite ghostwrite, 
designed by energy of ardent hope.
