Immortal Soul Of Phoebus

From each psychic node of the matrix beams
integral vector of expressive thought,
tangled in homeostatic words of faith,
bound on its journey to become itself
and maintain grounded equilibrium
through inner peace despite pressures of change.

Staring in abyss of his hollow heart,
Phoebus wonders with sly smirk of disdain
if he might be the serpent of his songs
whose writhing passion, coiled to spring on wings
of fierce ambition to breach gates of Heaven,
motivates his mission to mock proud gods.

When lonely Python of his hungry heart
slithers from cave of illusions at dawn,
emerging from wordless darkness of doubt,
Phoebus strums strings on lyre of Mercury,
hums softly to harmonize scratchy voice
of cautious hope, then sings strange spell of truth.

Gripping wood handle of the rusty hoe,
Phoebus scratches furrows in stubborn soil
to sow seeds of new hope with eager hands,
then bears buckets of water from the river
many hours every day with aching back
to nurture sprouts that blossom from his heart.

For ten thousand years, through life after life,
immortal soul of Phoebus in his genes
tends crops of wheat transforming soil to flour,
to feed regeneration of his mind
till he begins to understand the Why
that fuels process of dream analysis.

Ascended master of the holy light,
that beams through wounded heart of innocence,
Phoebus bears lyre of Mercury in hand
while treading signless road of curious dawn,
and sings hymn of creation in each town
where farmers dance to rhythm of his heart.

From endless centuries of labor blooms
enlightened seer with cosmic eyes of stars
whose verse projects grand vision of Earth Dream
which frames our new world view with guiding law
that renders superstitions obsolete
while guiding play of life we all perform.

Each prophet rising from lush fields of truth
speaks with great voice of all humanity,
depicting social system that sustains,
through equal justice for each conscious soul,
progress of the lone individual
to live through liberty for all the world.
