Godless Void Of Hope

Wise Aten beams my soul with hands of light
so I live and die in dream of Earth
with laughter of the ancient deathless stars
beaming through atoms of my fragile flesh
which animate my progress till I die
when I stare in the godless void of hope.

Clever Tammuz weaves my spirit from wool
so I climb broad stairs up high ziggurat
to bring gifts of my crafting hands with love
to temple where Inanna brews sweet wine
which I drink as we kiss in gold moonlight
when I laugh in the godless void of hope.

Brave Adonis bakes my body from wheat
so I bear brass plate with hot loaves of bread
for everyone on broad ziggurat steps
may eat the sacred body of the Earth
while Ishtar sings Creation of the World
when I shout in the godless void of hope.

Bold Adam breathes life in my apple heart
so I tame serpent writhing in the tree
then people buy apple pies from my cart
while I perform in market maze of want
below ziggurat where Asherah sings
when I leap in the godless void of hope.

Shrewd Jehovah molds my torso from fish
so I dive deep in ocean of despair
to find the herb of youth Gilgamesh lost
then wander beach to hut where Shamhat sings
who teaches me to spark life in her heart
when I swim in the godless void of hope.

Honest Jesus twists my arms into wings
so I run swift in forest of swift harts
to hunt with Artemis in moonlit groves
where we twang strings of bows with dauntless joy
to feel our bodies pulsing with desire
when I soar in the godless void of hope.

Lithe Lucifer forges my brain from gold
so I map history of humanity
on time-animated globe that depicts
evolution of man from Fish to God
on endless quest to find the Promised Land
when I dance in the godless void of hope.

Audacious Odin carves my name in runes
that writhe with serpentine intelligence
in ghost-engendering well of Melusine
who teaches me to compose tales of faith
that show how women raise children with love
when I sing in the godless void of hope.

Orpheus teaches me how to gaze in the godless void of hope which mirrors conscious spirit of self-awareness which I project at the sky as God.
