Music Of The Star Mind

Awakened by music of the Star Mind
that chimes alarmingly soft in night wind,
Zara glides on beach of the moon-white sea
to listen for faint voices of the dead
who whisper their names in forgotten song
that only she can hear in tweets of larks.

When silver jet with angelic wings glides
across dark evening sky of the Star Mind,
Zara hides under branches of the cypress
to blank her face invisible to Death,
but shivers when she feels his burning eyes
regard her fragile soul with mocking grin.

"This plum tree that blooms on the river shore
might be the tree where Eve ate of the fruit,
so I too will consume pure Plum of Truth
to gain arcane wisdom of the Star Mind,"
Zara whispers while tasting sweet despair
to savor strangeness of still being alive.

"Though bombs no longer blast our garden homes,
I still feel explosions of naked light
flash my eyes blind with terror at false hope,"
Zara tries to explain to the Star Mind
that stares at her from the dark evening sky,
"but I forgot how to sing about love."

Breathing deep innocence of the Star Mind
with bold intensity of cautious hope,
Zara hums melody of ocean waves
that glitter on the shore of spongy sand
where her footsteps capture puddles of tears
that vibrate in harmony with her heart.

"I perceive in mirror of the Star Mind
honest compassion Faceless God designed
as shining beacon of conceptual faith
that guides me on Way of the Cosmic Wraith
across the waste land of ignorant greed
to paradise where I plant this fruit seed."

Ghosts of soldiers emerge from the Star Mind,
surrounding her safe cypress tree with guns,
and hollow Voice of Death declares with doom,
"We must destroy this Messenger of Peace
for she is destined to found world religion
that merges all religions in new faith."

Trembling in terror at the Voice of Doom,
Zara stands and walks barefoot in the sand
toward ghosts of soldiers clutching guns of fear,
and with enchanting song of timeless love
dispels them with music of the Star Mind
that flows in waves of truth across the land.

Orpheus plays lyre of Mercury and follows Zara while she walks across the land singing Spell of Love that unites all the people of Earth in new world religion.
