Safe Land Of Goshen

Walking throughout the house of many rooms,
the woman who remembers dawn of time
searches for the ghost weeping in locked doors,
but finds more than shadow on the wall
cast by wordless sunlight of the season
when people fall in love for no good reason.

Painting landscapes on doors of weeping ghosts,
the woman who swam the sea of weird dreams
explains to children running on the lawn
why water always flows down to the sea
while she wears the latest sociable fashion
to mask intense regret of bitter passion.

Planting rose bushes on property lines
to mark the sacred pale of paradise,
the woman who hides the moon in her mind,
to measure tides of change in aching hearts,
raises the boy who leads our global nation
far above conceptual frame of his station.

Rowing her boat across the lake of skulls
to drop Box of Pandora in dark depths,
the woman who types letters for the bank
recalculates the road of pilgrimage
with delicate curves of psychic precision
to match the code of existential vision.

Inspired to generate life from my dreams,
the woman who builds furniture from tropes
for thousand mirrored rooms of the weird church
directs the most epic romantic film
where Juliet and Hamlet share devotion
powered by machine of perpetual motion.

Annoyed by pretty fantasy of hope
sold by priests and preachers to lonely souls,
the woman who teaches children to write
lines of code that program our robot brains
writes report on our national delusion
about humans being angel-demon fusion.

Confused by random events that transpire
with frequent repetition of desire,
the woman who navigates social games
designs new set of characters with names
for ghosts who haunt the lightning-flashed horizon
till they appear as sweet witches who wizen.

Startled by collapse of our old world view,
the woman who treasures heroic tales
commissions her son to play cosmic herald
though he is reluctant to save the world,
so he proceeds to exercise grim caution
for finding comfort in safe land of Goshen.
