Attentive Scope Of Faith

These boots have tread lush hills of distant lands
where strangers welcomed me with generous hands,
and brought home lurid chunks of fertile soil
to plump flourishing garden of my heart
with sacred elements of ancient truth
which nourish fruit trees of my paradise.

This coat has flapped in winds of rugged hills
where fairies teased me with conceptual tricks,
and served as wings like those Icarus used
to transcend narrow mindset of my tribe
so I expand attentive scope of faith
while mapping maze of myths with strict insight.

This hat has sheltered my frail head from storm
hurled by indifferent Nature without care,
and shaded gaze of my observant eyes
so I progress on sacred quest for truth
that lead to cave of illusions in Hell
where I retrieved bright diamond Eye of God.

This pack has borne treasures of hopeful dreams
which I have found in tombs of long-dead gods,
so I display them in museum halls
as records of our human quest for beauty
for they bear spirits of creative minds
long after their mortal craftsmen have died,

This wand, that Zambor forged from meteor stone
which blazed from haughty hand of Jupiter,
provides emotional support through trust
for my ascension on long winding road
around snow-frosted Peak of Mount Takoma
where Kwan Yin and Athena grant me visions.

This book of tales, detailing human lives
of every soul who ever lived on Earth,
records grand epic deeds of mortal men
as tragic heroes or romantic fools
who battle tyrants in fraught game of power
to maintain justice of wise Liberty.

This tongue of eloquent expressiveness
has sung elaborate tales of human deeds
to praise the curious seekers of truth
who built foundation of philosophy
on which our world civilization thrives
as efficient food-production machine.

This brain of neurons woven from bright atoms,
which has evolved four hundred million years,
generates virtual model of our world
programmed by my ancestral memories
while we strive to transcend material form
and become manifestation of God.
