Vibrant Energy Of Life

On the day after the end of the world,
when birds and trees are somehow not the same,
I think about where to find my true love
by sailing ship of love around the Earth
because I am not Perseus nor Paris,
fated to live out our own tragic romance.

Though Chiron taught Achilles how to play
lyre of Mercury with aggressive plan
to shatter walls of Ilium from rage,
I learn love-craft from Ovid, expert bard
who chases Daphne to the laurel tree
while wearing mask of Phoebus he designed.

Astonished at strange vision of my heart,
I watch my true love float down from the sky
with graceful body of Andromeda
and face of Helen that launches warships
which I command with courage of mad Mars
to conquer Greenland and expand my rule.

Attentive to strange song of the dawn breeze,
I dance in wondrous zone of unrestraint
while wandering randomly in global park
to find Aratus on the Gazing Stone
who shows how constellations of dead stars
provide framework for fate to prove my choice.

Alone on long-abandoned ship of state
resembling Argos, though with different wood,
that drifts on swirling tides of social change,
I drink by moonlight on the seven seas
that shimmers with ethereal souls of gods
who make my shadow flicker on dark waves.

When Aphrodite plays the saxophone
as priestess healing trauma with weird tunes,
I lie back under wounded Tree of Knowledge
because I must accept the world is broken
and never will become one global system
where every person lives in paradise.

Mind mirrored by dream-glazed reality
reflecting faceless ghosts of absent souls
who lived and died the past ten million years,
I drink electric cider of the heart
and dance in superstitious wisps of mist
with unperturbed tranquility of faith.

Since my heart feels like hub of the whole world,
I open wide angelic wings of trust
which radiates my love to every soul
so I feel vibrant energy of life
that rhymes in melodies of songs we share
on the day after the end of the world.

Orpheus hosts double date but Helen falls in love with Perseus while Andromeda flirts with Paris, everyone hoping to evade their tragic fates.
