When Ziphion finds emptiness of the sky
inside the window frame of glowing time,
he reaches out one hand high as the cloud
to touch the vastness of eternity,
and finds ripe apple of secret desire
solid in obsessive grip of his hand.
While Ziphion eats apple of cognizance
to taste awareness of eternal now,
the silent hills walk toward his secret grove
to give him stones that cannot display time
till cracks in foundation of truth appear
to reveal immense beauty of the wind.
Yet Ziphion walks alleyways of the slum
to give loaves of bread to frail wanderers
who bless him with gratitude of the dead
as they gather around the Wounded Tree
where the Grandmother with gray hair explains
that Gad sees everything from the high tower.
Therefore Ziphion defends poor laborers
from exploitation of the Elohim
who gather as councilors in the hall
to advise the humble Gad Emperor
issue edicts that give them greater power
to control how the people live and die.
Till Ziphion wakes with vision of the truth
that his father enslaves tribes they attack,
the people groan under oppressive laws,
and cry out for justice to the deaf hills,
yet the wind still blows with indifference
to cool their brows as they sweat in the fields.
Though Ziphion feels Justice burn in his heart
with righteous indignation of the fool,
he raises sword of liberty with courage
and fights his father, Lord Gad of the Sky,
till he frees slaves from tyranny of greed
and pays them for tending lush fields of wheat.
After Ziphion overthrows the cruel tyrant,
he wears crown he takes from head of his father
and reigns over farms and ranches with wisdom,
attending council on the ziggurat
as member of the Holy Elohim
where he attempts to legislate fair justice.
Thus Ziphion cares for people of his land,
nurturing talents to develop skills
through strict education in schools of truth
so every person who lives inside Heaven
contributes passion of their eager hearts
to frame emptiness of the sky with faith.
