Proxy Puzzle Of Prudence

Each time I hear daylight sing out of tune 
I see past range of what my eyes perceive, 
essential vibes of truth that flash in brains 
with pure angelic wings of thoughtless faith, 
so I give tears of wisdom to lost souls 
and chase wild butterflies in pouring rain. 

Though I am no wise philosopher-king 
attending needs of people in my care, 
I ache with sorrow at their suffering 
so I beam lasers from passionate glare 
to spark bright flames on stone altar of prayer 
with passion of Elijah on Carmel. 

Though refugees from war on fenceless road 
call Dispeller of Sorrow with brave prayer, 
she hides with humble heart in hollow lair 
to gather honey in the Holy Grail 
that bleeds as blood from angels without wings 
who trick my heart with tunes I cannot hear. 

I wear mask of flame-caster at the pyre 
and chant holy hymns of the devil choir 
with plan to catch the newest falling star 
before it fractures egg shell of the Earth, 
since each material object has its worth 
though fate cannot guarantee second birth. 

As Smith of Hearts with Hammer of Respect, 
I trace essential vein of curving thoughts 
to map ordinary light of our brains 
that seek permission to endure harsh pain 
from faceless spirit in the empty sky 
who never answers when we question why. 

Adjusting vibrant strings of psychic faith, 
I try with secret code to tune my eyes 
through beams of fiscal light that harmonize 
intense desire to expand consciousness 
with humble need to extract from the Earth 
potent material that could fuel my heart. 

Pending payments on mortgage of my mind 
alert my guardian angel with sharp chime 
to analyze proxy puzzle of prudence 
consistent with regulations of growth 
defined by math clerks with strange formulas 
which calculate my cost effectiveness. 

Undone by death on Bridge of Clarity, 
we hurry to our offices at dawn 
to broker compliance with divine law 
that should suppress bold curiosity 
so when daylight sings in tune with the sea 
we can unite to fight for liberty.
