Wise God We Elect

Wise God We Elect

Startled by something unseen in the night, 
I exchange my face for the mask of light, 
then dance with carefree joy in the grove 
where wingless fairies of apple trees rove, 
but stop and ponder why men fight for power 
and who will marry princess in the tower. 

I value beauty of our empty world 
that spins in galaxy of stars unfurled 
with quaint anticipation that strange tune 
vibrates with passion of the writhing rune 
lithe as wise serpent in tall tree of fruit 
that flutters rainbow wings as I play lute. 

To stop blood-thirsty tyrant shooting bombs 
that shatter safe homes into boneless tombs 
Scheherazade recounts one thousand tales 
while strolling secretly on mountain trails, 
and then one more about the holocaust 
humans commit when paradise is lost. 

When massive vibration of human souls 
beams rainbow shimmer of intense love goals 
with effortless grace of perpetual prayer 
by chanting spells that unveil ghoul of fear, 
we reach out hands of generous respect 
to mold zeitgeist in wise god we elect. 

Electric phoenix ghost with crystal wings, 
that soars above our river vale of rings, 
expresses shrill uncanny song of hope 
that teaches me constructive ways to cope 
with our volatile time of social change 
where moral values shift weird angles strange. 

Astonished by world-spin of chemicals 
in matrix wound from waves of particles, 
I catalog all creatures who exist 
with sibylline code in dynamic list, 
encrypted by psychotic formulas 
through cosmic map of the Americas. 

Yet proxy actor who plays Lucifer 
insists that I perform as Jupiter 
in secret mission to guard paradise 
by coding social myths with viral price 
which redefines how brave heroic deeds 
vector calyx pattern of mental seeds. 

Though singers come and go in flow of time 
eternal song of true love humans mime 
will bloom again each season of the heart 
in harmony with notes on the dream chart 
composed with blood of angels on the scroll 
which I archive as duty of my role.

  1. Orpheus and Scheherazade go camping in the Olympic National Forest to hike the mountain trail, fish by the lake of dreams, and eat roasted fish by the campfire under the twinkling stars.
