Replay The Eerie Tune

Orpheus leads Ophelia by her hand
high up the winding rocky mountain path
while clutching cold frame of his silver lyre
with taut strings humming in the frantic wind,
quickly with caution past the snake of faith,
eager to rejoin the heavenly choir.

Bright angels swirl around them in the sky
as clouds that glow with shocking sunset flames
with hope to lead them to the waterfall
since psychic program code in the blue eye
defines algorithms of their star names
which gives them courage to transcend the wall.

From apples ripening on Tree of Fate
swift goldfinches leap on moon-woven wings
to bring scroll of prophecy to the toad
which swells huge enough to swallow all hate
when Orpheus chants spells in magic rings
that beam eidolic illusions of God.

They share cold darkness of their aching hearts
to glimpse strange beauty of the alien face
reflecting shadow of their secret souls
with urgent care to conjure from dream charts
predawn endurance of their tribal space
defining how they perform cosmic roles.

They agree to meet at the next full moon
when Ishtar resurrects the Earth from death
in secret mountain cave where time was born
with mission to replay the eerie tune
which sharpens pure flame of their psychic breath
at haunting horror of the martial horn.

Each day they perform their ritual routine,
gathering food from the generous world
with constructive gestures of crafting hands
to maintain function of the mind machine,
programmed to perform as the cosmic herald
in project to reclaim colonized lands.

Love language of the holy messenger,
who plays the lyre that Mercury designed,
adjusts attentive focus of his heart
on needs of his romantic passenger
who asks with frightened voice if he can find
snake of fear highlighted by her star chart.

Avoiding traps that tempt him to gain power
of authority over reverent souls,
Orpheus turns away from Throne of Law
and discards key that unlocks golden tower
to focus attention on sacred scrolls
preserved in Hall of Truth by Onatah.

Orpheus gives Ophelia leather belt made from skin of the snake that tried to bite her heel till she crushed its head with her foot.
