Universal Element Of Love

Through universal element of love 
mindless atoms swirl into galaxies 
that weave stars from aggressive fantasy, 
then nurture planets blooming ghosts of faith 
in spiral coil of genes which replicates 
new bodies that evolve from fish to god. 

Stuck in this body of frail mortal flesh, 
as long as chemicals of this lithe form 
function through interaction of bright sparks, 
I maintain forward motion through desire 
to find tree of knowledge with fruit of life 
which animates my conscious heart with love. 

Ninth Adam, son of Amen and Adad, 
breathes gusting air of hope to swell his soul, 
then stands on wobbling legs of frantic fear 
and stares at giant dragon with gold eyes 
that chews bodies of his tribe dripping blood, 
and howls with terrible rage of despair. 

Wrenching long brass wand with sharp jagged spikes, 
that cooled from lava flow at dawn of time, 
Ninth Adam rushes forward on fierce legs 
and batters face of the dragon with blows 
of brave aggression writhing from his heart 
till shrieking dragon stumbles to escape. 

Tracking bloody steps of the sharp-toothed beast, 
Ninth Adam finds in small cave by the lake 
wounded dragon cowering in stark fear, 
so he bashes its head with lightning strikes 
that crushes its skull into bloodied mush, 
till he lies exhausted under mute stars. 

Hauling wagon with dragon and its eggs, 
Ninth Adam enters gates of paradise 
where Inanna hosts rites of victory 
as Eloh roasts meat on high ziggurat 
that feeds five thousand people of the town 
who praise dragon-slayer with joyous hymns. 

Enrobed with leather cape from dragon skin, 
Ninth Adam presides on the judgment throne 
to reign as noble guard of paradise, 
while Ninshubur bears children of his seed, 
then trains his son Zababa to wield spear 
as hunter who slays dragons of the sea. 

"Through universal element of love, 
that fuels our bodies with star energy," 
Ninth Adam explains to his fierce-eyed son, 
"we fight evil dragons who eat our minds 
so we may generate bodies of flesh 
that preserve immortal soul of our hearts."
