Become Ideal God Self

Midway through journey of my eager life
I find myself in dark wood of the mind
to study apparitions on black bough
of faceless ghosts who ask me to record
tale of unjust exile from paradise,
so we lounge by white chickens and tell jokes.

Life occurs when pattern key of the sperm
unlocks material process of the egg,
so immortal soul of genes unspools coils
that assemble atoms in chemicals
to weave neural network of the brain
which animates organic frame of flesh.

Consciousness glows when dream-recording brain
configures program through analysis
to gather and consume chemical mass
that reconstructs the frame of glowing flesh
which ambulates on landscape of the mind
to generate new life before we die.

Death happens when component atom nodes,
that compose chemical organic beings,
deconstruct material frame of the self
so its conscious soul vanishes to sparks
of atoms that dissipate in mute wind
and swirl about in random gusts of fate.

Some atoms stay stuck in clumps of mute rocks
billions of years as the Earth spins in space,
while others in dirt are sucked by tree roots,
transformed to fruit that organic beings eat,
so atoms that once formed my dreaming brain
now become flashes in your dreaming brain.

Every atom belonging to my soul
belongs to every soul who ever lives,
for we are clumps of atoms Earth creates
so she can wake in visions of our brains
as we strive to become ideal God Self
which our ancestors make to guide our way.

Thus when I hear your voice call out my name,
that we invent to signify each self,
I smile and open arms of welcoming
to share my meal in shelter of my heart,
then we tell each other tales about life
so we expand scope of our conscious sense.

Our parents show us how to walk the world
and name each object and action we sense
till they vanish into the wind we breathe,
then we show our own children how to walk
the world and name its essence in new song
till we vanish into the wind they breathe.
