My Journey Beyond Fear

Across the vast abyss of daily life
my ancestors walk in dreams of my heart
to motivate my journey beyond fear
through heroic banality of faith
with calm acceptance of my beating heart
that love drives me into warm arms of Death.

This life seems tragic in futility
of patient building with firm crafting hands
since Indifferent Nature of spinning Earth
provides material of substantial wealth
for me to construct paradise in hell,
yet destroys my garden with storms of chaos.

Yet I continue building with my heart
strong communities of productive rites
to manage mindless hunger of desire
with focused process of tending rich crops
that provide sustenance of soul delight
which makes our bodies glow with transient hope.

For twenty thousand years of swirling change
I build empires of farms and fertile herds
which I rule from high pyramid of hope
to manage disputes of opposing needs
till paradise of my will dissolves to dust
so ruins clump in waste land of my will.

Brave Perseus runs down to storm-wracked beach
where wise Andromeda with star-bright eyes
breaks free from chains of political greed
so they unite to battle tyranny
and found new social system of respect
that distributes shared wealth to everyone.

That Heaven, people of this world long for,
which shines as paragon of social grace
where every person lives in harmony,
mirrors imperfect cities of our world
with vision of how we think life should be,
providing template we strive to make real.

Life never will be perfect as we want,
because some mad Achilles will destroy
great city we have built with loving hands,
yet wily Odysseus will recreate
new state based on hospitality
where we live as we will, if we harm none.

As I look back on endless path of life
that my ancestors blazed around this globe,
I see how empire rise and fall in waves,
but always humans find new ways to live,
so I try to create with craft hands
transforming our world to Heaven on Earth.
