Nothing Of My Faith

When Snow White flees into dark woods of gloom
to escape killers her step-mother sends,
then falls weeping in wilderness of fear
after losing her family and home,
she finds in her heart nothing of her faith,
then smiles and sets out to find her new home.

When Ophelia weeps with bitter rage
while gathering flowers on the river shore,
because the man she trusts to guard her heart
humiliates her with mocking insults,
she dives in death with nothing of her faith
and floats singing down the river of dreams.

When Eve bites apple of wisdom with trust
that she will learn about nature of life
how people are good and evil at once,
she kills the devil who enslaves her soul
with weapon made from nothing of her faith
to manage her garden of apple trees.

When Clementine crawls from river of tears
and climbs rugged hills to cave of illusions,
to find jewels gleaming with light of truth
preserved since first flash at the dawn of time,
she hides heart-wealth in nothing of her faith
which powers her rocket ship to the stars.

When Alice steals the map to Wonderland
that Grendel keeps stored in his writing desk,
then runs through gate to Hell with sign that warns,
"Abandon all hope, you who enter here,"
she eats mushrooms from nothing of her faith
and grows wings of Icarus to fly home.

When Minerva rides white horse of salvation
to arrest Midas for stealing our hope
and blowing up Temple of Truth with hate,
she guides our project to rebuild our state
with principles from nothing of our faith
based on image of her angelic wraith.

When Ishtar stands on Pyramid of Truth
to spread her arms with rising of the sun,
and sings Creation of the Universe
that flares forth from first flash of the big bang,
she writes wisdom in nothing of our faith
as holy scripture that defines our world.

When I wake in eternity of now
and dream strange beauty of our universe
that manifests changing chemical forms
from concepts in Heaven Realm of Ideas,
I write scripture from nothing of my faith
which codes creed of Astarianity.

Orpheus swims with Ophelia in river of dreams, and they splash each other with flirtatious desire, then kiss under the apple tree.
