When the gray sky tells her she is not real, 
Rayanne explains to Brownie in the hearth 
that our brains are molecular machines 
which temporarily glow with conscious soul 
who feels they are immortal from old dreams 
programmed by our ancestors in our genes. 

When the gold sunrays tell her she is real, 
Rayanne invites everybody she knows 
to come and share her apple feast of hope, 
but sits alone at table in the glade 
till they appear as ravens from the moon 
and mock her with sly laughter of the doomed. 

When the blue raindrops of arrogant faith 
spark life again in mud-corpse of her mind, 
Rayanne walks to the forest pool of ghosts 
where sad Narcissus weeps with longing ache 
for Echo to return again from Hell, 
so she walks to Helicon with his mask. 

When the purple mountain majesties bulge 
enormously against skin of her breast, 
Rayanne learns to sing through dream synthesis 
based on recursive process of desire 
that links sounds to concepts when she invents 
language for wingless angels to trick death. 

When the white lightning strike her mirror eyes 
with endless visions of atomic swirls, 
Rayanne replaces her young childhood self 
with new mature self forged by suffering 
that crowns her World Goddess of Liberty 
who leads the People against tyranny. 

When the red code of socialist ideal 
resurrects hippie Jesus from the dead, 
Rayanne campaigns to reign as President 
with scepter of Ishtar in her right hand 
though Mary Magdalene wins far more votes, 
so she kisses Hansel while Gretel laughs. 

When the black cloud of spiritual concern 
deconstructs religious world view of faith, 
Rayanne designs new dream puzzle of truth 
from scientific formulas of facts 
that better help us navigate the world 
so we build Heaven from ruins of Hell. 

When the green tree weaves sparkle of her soul 
in matrix of our cosmic tapestry, 
Rayanne performs role her heart executes 
so brave love initiates kintsugi-weave 
that generates new god soul in her womb 
who is born as her wild unruly son.
