Mindless God Eye

Reluctant to acknowledge why Death laughs
at fragile humans focused on their craft
to create meaning from goops of soft mud,
I build enormous castle of baked bricks
to shelter refugees from mindless storm
so we can sing love songs during the war.

Confused by laughter of the river snake
at serious intent of obedient folk
to praise the warm sun for rising again,
I bend steamed boards of wood with humble chant
to build hull of my world-exploring ship
so we can sail across abyss of hope.

Disturbed by laughter of the apple tree
at pious prayers of people traumatized
by bombs depuzzling everything they love,
I gather seeds from ruins of the church
to plant herbs of compassion in the grave
where corpse of god rots into wriggling worms.

Excited by laughter of joyous goats
who prance in meadow of camellias
that blossom from cracked skulls of warriors,
I gather lost souls on the signless road
to form community of honest folk
who help each other survive bitter days.

Denied my civil rights to freely laugh
at how I lose myself to find myself
by hoarding syllables of naked thought,
I choose to endure starvation of faith
that sharpens sensations of ecstasy
from which I spring to dance in tears of rain.

Confounded by laughter of hope for love
through mystic monolog of desert streams
where thirsty angels crawl on hands and knees,
I map every road that leads to my heart
which is not center of the universe
where mindless God Eye dreams itself in me.

Concealed by veil of mist on Lone Tree Hill
that laughs at haughty pride of the Moon Wolf
who operates book shop on the ocean cliff,
I write with blood of angels in blank book
chronicle of my destiny I choose
by swerving randomly on road of life.

Erased by laughter of the empty sky
at how immortal soul of genes designs
this mortal body of my present life,
I cannot see which face I wear today
when I gaze in mirror of the forest pool
till I fall and drown in my memories.

Orpheus finds Narcissus drowned in the Lake of Dreams so he resuscitates him with breath of life so he can marry Echo in the empty church.
