Intense Desire To Live

I feel the ocean seething in my brain
when I somersault inside the black hole
that pulses with intense desire to live
to wake up bound inside this coil of flesh
that urges me to compete for fresh fruit
so I generate life before I die.

I feel vast emptiness of everything
swell huge through singularity
in still point at the center of all light
when galaxies flare forth from flash of thought
then spiral into strands of clicking genes
that mold bipedal gods with grasping hands.

I feel urge to transcend my frame of thought
so I run laughing on long wooden dock,
then leap high into heaven of gold clouds
on time-rewinding wings of Icarus,
but fate pulls me back down to solid state
where I laugh wildly on my back in grass.

I feel expanding scope of consciousness
envelop Earth with gleam of mental code
so I dream every soul who ever lives
as universal mind of mindless self
who sings in one harmonious melody
hearts of eight billion separate human beings.

Suryathi, bright-eyed Goddess of the Sun,
ascends from gleaming fields of blooming rice
to fly on bold Apsara wings of faith
above vast complex of tall tower spires
and scatters coins of gold on villages
where farmers bless her generosity.

Gold river dragon rises from clear stream,
eyes gleaming bright as diamonds of star truth,
scales writhing lithe as flames of holy thought,
and sings uncanny spell of heart insight
that sparks strange vision of world prophecy
which I sing as I stroll long road of light.

Queen Mary steps from wood ship of desire
and strides wet stones in swirling fog of fear
to claim with faith the jeweled crown of thorns
she wears as wise Minerva born on Earth,
then tells me with soft voice of ocean waves
that I will build new kingdom of free will.

Since I am temporary node of thought
that vibrates spirit of genetic code
as deathless angel in my mortal shell,
I order hamburger with tater tots
and eat lunch at bench in the river park,
then play guitar and sing of human hope.

Orpheus flies with Suryathi over vast temple complex where they dwell together in pagoda to make love with compassion that recreates the universe.
