Glass Brain Of Faith

Nothing seems real to the glass brain of faith
who watches the world television show
depict villains stealing wealth from our hands
while soil of the Earth crumbles into words
that turn into butterflies of despair
so hopes and dreams vanish in silent rain.

Fruit trees blossom from the glass brain of faith
at second coming of messiah sleuth
who works at the Museum of Lost Dreams
where people visit after work to pray
since rivers keep on flowing to the sea
regardless of who tries to rule the world.

Messages beamed from the glass brain of faith
declare with confidence of rain-smooth rocks
the situation is under control
despite thieves seizing computer machines
that distribute payments to hungry hearts
who wander with horses on windy plains.

Laughing clocks unwind the glass brain of faith
faster than hawks snare rabbits in the bush
too late for laws protecting innocence
when banks charge fees for the air people breathe
though we hold our breath and jump in the lake
to find salvation in tears of the sky.

Something is true to the glass brain of faith
that sees Heaven with kaleidoscope eyes
where Lucifer dances on glowing clouds
with Emerald Tablet of chemical laws
on which he scribes weird formulas of fate
that define process of cause and effect.

First flash spirals in the glass brain of faith
to map expansion of the universe
that flares forth from big bang of conscious love
forming galaxies of suns which feed globes
with energy that evolves into beings
who tell each other stories of the real.

Star atoms pulse in the glass brain of faith
who wakes from strange dream of eternity
to name itself as separate conscious being
exploring landscape of its hungry heart
before it invents weird concept of God
as supernatural being that never dies.

I see myself in the glass brain of faith
that conjures virtual model of the Earth
composed of memories I experience
which I organize in Tale of My Life
within narrative framework of my soul
which will end in death I cannot foresee.
