Savior In The Sycamore

Savior In The Sycamore

Skipping in the autumn evening rainstorm 
is how we can find out we are still real 
even though events in our mirror world 
spiral out of fictionalized control 
that transform people into hungry gulls 
who search for Heaven in the wilderness. 

In the field of flowers blooming from graves 
I am more than the absence of the field, 
though I am missing from puzzle of truth 
where I walk as air in the empty space 
filled with the wholeness of the long-dead souls 
who animate my body with desire. 

I should not trouble younger hearts with hope 
that fractured strangeness of our social game 
will readjust our world view where we play 
noble heroes in dramatic events, 
watched by the savior in the sycamore 
who bids us farewell as he flies away. 

Since silence is impossible this year, 
demanding that we howl with principle 
against relentless anger of cruel men 
blind with rage that story of our state 
is based on exploitation of the poor, 
then we shall gather by the moon and hum. 

If we sink deep in shifting sands of change 
by laughing at forbidden laws of love, 
then we shall grow flowers from wounded hearts 
so we can write new universal laws 
for every person in the world to live 
free from delusions of religious creeds. 

When snowflakes flutter from the faceless sky 
to prove God is delusion of despair, 
I gaze in windows of suburban homes 
where they share meals at tables of respect 
beside the pine that blinks with fairy eyes, 
then wander past to sleep in Raven Wood. 

Since Shamash lives as flame inside my heart 
that widens cope of my subconscious vibe, 
I gather force of psychic energy 
from millions of minds frantic with surprise 
that world view we have shared for eighty years 
collapses into gibberish of lies. 

Retrieving it from mirror of my eye, 
I slip my soul back in its secret place, 
but it remains as twinkling star of faith 
that quivers bright in vastness of deep space 
since light of atoms flashing in my brain 
remains dream key to my infinity.
