Light Of Divine Love

Cool in the silent cistern of my heart,
memories of our times together gleam
with helpless grief of those beautiful hours
veiled now by darkness of long-passing time,
blessed that mindless light of divine love
glows through our bodies with pleasure of life.

Though we are transient shadows of our dream
in temporary bodies of warm flesh
as intense energy constrained by frame
of meaning we devise to maintain life,
we glow with pleasure of existing now
through forms stamped bright beyond eternity.

We paint our bodies on canvas of time,
asserting with each willful stroke our choice
to walk this certain way of hope-blind faith
on ever-shifting sands of social norms
with honest confidence that we surf well
in balanced flight of oscillating needs.

Though I feel lost in wilderness of pain,
beyond myth-maps of acceptable styles
humans design for surviving mute death,
I find myself wherever I am now,
and thus decide with brave alacrity
wherever I roam my heart is my home.

When I participate in sports events
to express intense energy of hope
by outpacing the fastest runner far,
or subduing the strongest fighter down,
this self I am glows with divinity
of bright achievement channeled through my soul.

Through lithe expression of my human form
I channel divine spirit of starlight
to display grand conceptual gracefulness
with the best performance humans achieve
as model that represents noble strength,
shining brightly, though time will snuff my flame.

Stardust congealed in lithe organic form,
conscious of itself as wily I Am,
my spirit shines its hour of graceful life
from birth to death in rise and fall of hope
while I progress on quest to be myself,
crowned by Fame, then bowdlerized by death.

If I accomplishment some memorable deed,
recorded in our global chronicles
as notable achievement that provides
conceptual tool which helps humanity
transcend our struggle to beautify life,
I hope Pindar would sing my name with honor.
