Star Stone Of Inspiration

With no surprising ending to our song
we wander blissfully along the ocean
to gather sharp fragments of the star stone
that streaked in shock across the shining heavens
because celestial flames of divine love
flicker inside their cores with soul salvation.

Sweet graceful woman of our ocean tribe
gazes in prophecy stone of perception
where she dreams successful growth of our way
transforming into empires of her vision,
so we follow her dance on shifting sands
when she mutates into the snow-white raven.

Exhausted from our journey on stone paths,
we rest beneath the Crying Elm of Sorrow
which spreads broad canopy of gentle care,
one of Four Trees of Earth that give us shelter
from howling storm, that shatters crystal skies,
swirling from bitter hatred of Rain Dragon.

When lightning shatters Crying Elm to shards
and blasts our paradise into cruel desert,
we wander weeping in ruins of sand,
hearts bleak with hungry fear of desperation,
till raven woman of our ocean tribe
raises high her Star Stone of Inspiration.

Masking fear of death with bold bravery
to hide arrogance of her trepidation,
Pearl Raven Princess holding bright star stone
guides our journey to recreate our future
by changing our fate with each choice we make
to focus our attention on creation.

Grove of peach trees, heavy with ripe sun fruit,
that blooms on lush shore of the singing river
provides generous bounty as reward
for strict discipline of our loving labor,
so we build high stone walls of paradise
to form from ruins of hell our new Heaven.

Ten thousand years we cultivate peach trees
that grow tall from Star Stone of Inspiration,
transforming from village of humble homes,
where workers thrive with calm communication,
to vast metropolitan maze of streets
where we drive cars in race of corporations.

Programmed by ancient struggles to survive,
based on experience of all my ancestors,
I strive to create rather than destroy
social system that drives civilization
in global baby-production machine
that guides us with Star Stone of Inspiration.

Orpheus finds fragments of a star stone scattered in the sands of a desert among the petrified forest of an ancient forest, which he sells to tourists from his roadside stand.
