Window On The World

Because my heart is window on the world,
I gaze from tower of ancestral souls
based on lives of three billion human beings
whose intense survival experiences
program how my brain perceives the world dream
that guides my journey to Heaven through Hell.

Commissioned by guiding star of my heart,
embodied by wise Ishtar as my Muse,
to play role of Phosphorus Lucifer,
I hold high Lamp of Liberty with faith
to highlight my own private way of life
around obstacles of selfish desire.

Though I meet Child Roland on signless road
who searches for dark Tower of Despair,
I search for my own Tower of Delight
where brave Rapunzel, with star-sparkling eyes,
plays Harp of David as she sings sweet psalms
to heal wounded hearts of all wanderers.

I climb Purgatory Mountain of hope
with courage to transform state of my soul
from hungry ape to angel who maintains
strict discipline of self-control through law,
but ghosts of failure haunt my secret way,
revealing pitfalls of death I avoid.

Because my brain is window on the world,
I gaze beyond shadows of transient forms
in Cave of Illusions to comprehend
essential design of eternal ideas
that provide pattern for matter to form
organic bodies of chemical flow.

With Light of Ishtar shining in my heart,
which emanates from vision of her love
for all creatures awake in dream of Earth,
I traverse complex landscape of world myth
to find Wonderland of shared value systems
for framework of Astarianity.

Ascending steps up Ziggurat of Ur
with reverent awe for vision of the world
that Ishtar conjures in model of truth,
I join her feast in hall of cultural heroes
where she sings tales that recount deeds of souls
who fail or succeed to wake God in their hearts.

These lyric songs of sentimental verse,
which I compose as psychic formulas,
frame vision of my mind from memories
as window on the world of changing forms
when I analyze its physical state
so I generate life before I die.

Orpheus eats in Windows on the World restaurant in the North Tower of the World Trade Center and sings as the plane flies straight into his heart.
