Quest To Find Meaning

I have wandered river landscape of Earth
two hundred million years of spinning time
on endless quest to find meaning of life,
and each moment I almost understand
I generate new body with my mate
so I continue journey to the stars.

Just on the other side of the bright hill
where nothingness of death looms over me,
I find another world of wooded vales
where tribes of people live on river shores
so I keep climbing endless hills of hope
till I discover that our world is round.

I keep on walking to the end of time
while singing to beam visions of my eyes
which helps me organize my memories
in coherent tales of cause and effect
so I can map the endless road of faith
where other people walk before I come.

I follow the rising sun every dawn
forever toward the endless sea of light,
but then turn away toward the setting sun
because I keep walking circles of fate,
one hundred thousand years till I arrive
at the edge of the world in Oregon.

With you at my side on the ocean shore
I listen to the endless song of waves
which I cannot translate to human words,
and explain to you the meaning of life
which I discover in my vain attempt
to evade death and live another day.

If I can find the wings of Icarus
and fly above this world of hills and lakes,
I would ascend to world of swirling clouds
to find grand crystal palace of the gods
who live forever in dreams of our minds
as our ancestors who watch over us.

Stuck in this soft body of hungry flesh
as temporary node of deathless genes,
my spirit writhes with passion to transcend
confining limits of this transient life
to savor psychic glow of ecstasy
that expands my mind through epiphany.

There is no meaning to this sudden life,
so we invent religions based on myths
of people whose grand deeds of public life
are framed with tragic consequence of fate
because they try to assert thought control
instead of flowing with the tides of change.
