Table Of Feast And Song

When the wind blows through doors of my heart,
I wake from dream where our world falls apart,
so I stroll among flowers of the field
to contemplate virtual world on war shield
which Achilles bore with defiant arm
when he fought great war of feminine charm.

Programmed with dreams of the language machine,
my brain assembles from weird puzzling facts
patchwork world view that frames what might be real
through fraught ontology my thoughts design
that centers everything on Death and Tax
since Earth is indifferent to how I feel.

Learning how to shape dreams from Morpheus
so Ideas of Plato catalog
objects I perceive with subjective stance,
I weave vast tapestry of fractured tales
that represent patterns of psychic tropes
which nurture how our hearts survive on hopes.

Wearing discarded mask of Orpheus,
I search through endless swirls of verbal fog
to find my brain expanding from dream trance
with solemn beauty of wise ocean whales
who float with jeweled crowns and red silk robes,
and discuss organic life on earth globes.

With Lamp of Liberty and Book of Deeds,
I walk crowded streets of America
as prophet who returns from the waste land
with sacred proverbs based on moral rules
that define good and bad as acts we play
to construct or destruct structures of atoms.

I worship the Sun as Solaria
that weaves our bodies from soul-beams of light,
and worship the Earth as Telluria
that generates our souls from singing waves,
for I am temporary name-masked soul
attentive to perform my chosen role.

Wise Shepherd in lush field of sparkling wheat
guides us with his staff of comforting light
through the valley of the shadow of death
to the lake that teems with delicious fish
where he prepares table of feast and song
so we dwell in house of wisdom he built.

When the wind blows through the doors of my heart,
I rebuild our lost world with new star chart
to shelter every refugee from war
who shares labor in the field and the store,
while Aeneas reigns in tower of dreams
to guard our tribe that dwells by flowing streams.

Orpheus studies star chart for the new world order that he intends to build with help from Phoebus, Jesus, and Jesuvius.
