Fear Of Wordless Death

Fear Of Wordless Death

Extreme silentness of the sleeping child 
no more disturbs with fear of wordless death 
calm meditation on state of this world 
where towns linked by network of signless roads 
flutter with ghosts of faceless energies 
tangled in cables of the world wide web. 

From earthen womb of communal desire 
our bodies writhe into firm social shape, 
designed by legal representatives, 
to play our roles in game of give and take 
through piranha religion of blind faith 
to celebrate the baby in the barn. 

Still echo from my voice of urgent thought, 
that seeks mirror image of its false self, 
stirs hearts of strangers on bright city streets 
with sole unquiet truth of final death, 
so they assemble in the church of hope 
to understand dark terrors of the heart. 

Face of that stern preceptor, who reveals 
unspeakable wisdom in river stones, 
looms over me as dark cherubic shade 
that presses my hot soul in freezing soil 
at endless sorrow of snow in stiff grass 
twitched by stark breath of angels passing by. 

Though murderous innocence of the sea 
soothes our anguished hearts with frenzied peace, 
we sleep through howling storms of social change, 
home sheltered by trees of religious faith 
that crack at laughter of the thunder cloud 
whose gusts my fathers imagined as God. 

Since beauty is bright mirror of our hopes, 
that beam from face of children born from fear, 
we gather inside ring of guardian stones 
to dance with heartless revery of faith 
and sing in harmony with screaming winds 
that shake steel towers so glass windows ring. 

Dreams of our ancestors, we living share, 
fill interspersed vacancies of regret 
with thrilling tunes that ancient mountains moan, 
so we hold hands and wander winding trails 
from timeless meadows down to market streets 
crowded with commercial hope to cheat death. 

Great Universal Teacher of our hearts 
reveals strange secret few accept as real 
that no wise God in clouds of swirling fire 
plans out trajectory of life we blaze 
with each heart-patterned choice our minds attend 
that keep us safe in haven of our love.
