Law Of Faceless Clouds

With aching laughter of the joyful heart
my soul refashions meaning of the world
because I focus attention of thought
at thick material forms of glowing light
so I perceive through new words I invent
essential nature of my pulsing brain.

This strange self I perform on social stage
seems to be somebody else I am not,
because I hide true nature of my soul
with mask that shields my too-sensitive heart
against aggressive labels people ploy
to bind my soul as puppet of their will.

Sustained attention of the snipping eye,
that tries to frame my body as its toy,
expends conceptual wealth of bitter hope
with fierce approach of faith to apprehend
divine mystery of blood which animates
flesh bodies against law of faceless clouds.

Entangled with vision of satellites
that speak with language of the fractured moon,
I conjure from idyllic fields of fate
grand future we attempt to recreate
based on beautiful childhood memories
which trap our minds in prison of the past.

No exile from my homeland, now long lost
in swirling mists of futile destiny,
I sail the restless sea of everywhere
with no one but myself in mindless wind,
because I plan to build new nation-state
instead of returning to my old home.

I will bring no Muse with me on the boat
that drifts without direction on deep tides
through endless journey to the nowhere else
across vast distances of timeless space
to transplant culture of my heart in vale
where skulls of my ancestors recite creeds.

While tending crops in field of serpent teeth,
I hone strange stories of heroic deeds
that honor nameless people of the land
whose weird songs manifest the sacred mind
as humble prophets of the river flow
who wield the hammer and sickle of faith.

When I dance joyfully in apple grove
my sorrows dissipate in evening mist
that flash as stars which burned out long ago,
yet twinkle still on fields of innocence,
so with our skin as scroll of ancient law
we found new state on liberty for all.
