Weird Spirit Of Salorin

Weird Spirit Of Salorin

Sea breeze shimmers green-gold feathers of pride 
when Salorin, Poet of Zathamar, 
appears on stage in crystal temple hall, 
and strums seven strings with celestial chimes 
in harp from rib bone of Queen Zathamut, 
then sings epic tale of her life and death. 

I sense her gold eyes gleam inside my heart 
when I stand on street corner in Miami 
and feel weird spirit of Salorin wake 
brave courage to express her ancient song 
that vibrates eighty million years of light 
in waves that gleam on bright Florida coast. 

My callused fingers pluck six coiled bronze strings 
that vibrate through shell of spruce wood guitar 
to wake soul of Salorin in my heart 
so I sing grunge folk songs of human life 
beside small fountain in the market square 
while pedestrians and cars traffic past. 

Long curly brown hair of the Anglo Bard 
blows around my face as I play guitar, 
dressed in leather boots and green woolen coat 
caked with red dust of New Mexico hills, 
while I sing surreal ballads that depict 
rough journey of the brave Quester for Truth. 

Grand vision of life on our spinning globe, 
that flourished eighty million years ago, 
glows from projection of my humming verse 
that depicts evolved race of dinosaurs 
who built vast cities of enormous diamonds 
where they performed tales of Saurian gods. 

Diamond cities in land of Zathamar, 
where civilization of dinosaurs 
thrived for millions of years on Earth, 
have all been ground down to sands on the beach, 
tiny fragments that gleam with their great songs, 
and ring with chimes of their long-silenced voices. 

I see their ghosts in glitter of the sand 
when I lounge on Miami Beach at dawn 
after sleeping all night among tall reeds, 
and hear their voices of sharp ringing chimes 
in susurration of green ocean waves, 
so I channel their tales in my street songs. 

As Quester for Truth on the signless road 
that winds along rivers among tall hills 
across this ancient land of Zathamar, 
I ever walk toward Pyramid of Ishtar 
whose song of wisdom shines in every heart 
who thrives in United Nations of Earth.
