Light Of My Shattered Soul

Blinded by the light of my shattered soul,
I assemble fragments of memories
in confusing puzzle of random deeds
that mirror character of Zeus I play
through anxious attempt to survive each day
by singing weird hymns to the beautiful.

Amused by the light of my shattered soul,
I reconfigure concept of my being
to mimic noble deeds of Sisyphus
who builds enormous temple on the hill
with ten thousand stones he rolls to the top
where we gather to feast before we die.

Confused by the light of my shattered soul,
I grasp writhing serpent of energy
that transgenders body my soul designs
to experience love like Tiresias
who lives as both man and woman in turn
to gain expansive knowledge of desire.

Intrigued by the light of my shattered soul,
I explore exotic landscape of dreams,
morphing mouse to cat to monkey to man
when I climb towering mountains of Guilin
and swing among trees sea to shining sea
then walk upright in surging tides of faith.

Baffled by the light of my shattered soul,
I search for divine idea of God
in vibrant spirit of my dreaming brain
so I grow into best self I can be
through strict discipline of religious faith
to focus attention on soul rebirth.

Bemused by the light of my shattered soul,
I study unique state of character
each human learns to express through pain
that forges pulsing souls of hungry hope
into lithe angelic beings of respect
who wander in maze of myths we invent.

Flummoxed by the light of my shattered soul,
I grope through ever-shifting veils of words
that weave illusions of national pride
from desperate desire to live in calm peace
through tribal warfare to control the globe
by claiming our God created this Earth.

Inspired by the light of my shattered soul,
I remove Mask of God that hides my face
so I can fly with wings of Icarus
while bearing Lamp of Liberty with faith
as Lucifer who brings light to the world
to guide souls home with lyre of Mercury.
