Opposing States Of Mind
Opposing States Of Mind

Every soul on Earth can see the same moon
vibrant with carnelian glow of brain quartz
as we dance with faith in strawberry fields
to comfort lost souls on the windy plain,
so I cannot feel lonely in my home
when I can see your faces in its mask.
My restless eyes shift up toward mirror skies
to see electric energy of minds
employ brave perseverance to perceive
star-focused landscape of questioning hearts
which sparks aspirant curiosity
encoded in bold mission to the stars.
Through cosmic contradiction of our faith
we comprehend opposing states of mind
as mirror images reflecting clear
both aspects of each complex circumstance
conditioned by global state of affairs
so we build castle from hard blocks of ice.
With furtive glance of cautious interest
I shout into vast void of innocence
while standing on Mount Carmel before noon
to eat the poisoned fruit of haughty hope
which cures depression of anxiety
so I know why the caged bird is dead.
Though fallen from bright Heaven of respect
on tattered wings of comfortable despair
I walk beside dark sea of nonchalance
to clear my heart of soul-wounding fatigue
by cultivating calm aesthetic mood
which fuels my brave ascension beyond fear.
Fertile landscape of our generous world
is filled with people wounded by their pride,
trapped by ambition of time-spiraled hearts
to play ecstatic receiver of love,
palpable with angst of harrowing hope
no more inevitable than sunrise.
Far down dark passage I will never take
toward door I never open till I die
I follow echo ringing beyond time
to twirl on still point of the multiverse
since I follow deception of the crow
who teaches me to sing with dignity.
Though I cannot say where I always am
I weave weakness of my body with pain
so I gain courage to endure long hours
when I expand scope of my consciousness
to dream the future present in the past
till I may reconcile with nothingness.

Orpheus realizes, though every spell he sings seems significant to mystery of the world, they only bear this quality for healing of his heart.
