Revelation Of False Truth

Odd angle of sunlight beaming slantwise
might discombobulate my sense of right
when I express frustration of content,
but I leap shallow ditch of jagged fears
to catch quick winged flight of ardent breath
at shocking revelation of false truth.

Unbroken stone of river-smoothed respect
guides my meandering way of random fate
on stumbling surety through confidence
straight toward eccentric doom of thought
around my blurry goal in circled steps
at blithesome revelation of false truth.

Toward face of God above vast empty Earth,
unseen by eyes of Innocence or Greed,
I trudge past endless hills of nowhere else
in lonely lands where baleful ghosts haunt hope
to mountain shadow of the never-seen
at wretched revelation of false truth.

Across bleak waste land of bare houseless hills
I plunge in verge of fear-shadowed Mirkwood
to wander dreary valleys of despair
where ravens croak on shores of rocky streams
and wolves of sad wind howl from distant caves
at murky revelation of false truth.

My chilled heart misty as blue evening moon,
I search with wandering stars for something true
that gleams with ghostly paleness of lost hope
in elvish groves of faith-forbidden fruit
as bleak wind seems to call "Arthur", my name,
at silent revelation of false truth.

Far from warm castle Camelot I built
I chase receding time of formless faith
for wisdom that long perished in fraught roots
of morbid mountains veiled by silent fog
to wait and watch in shadow world of hope
at woeful revelation of false truth.

Deep in Zarathian Forest of tall trees
I wear gold mask my father forged for me
as I approach vast cave of dragon jaws
to peer in heart of darkness shrouding faith
where eerie light of voiceless wisdom glows
at divine revelation of false truth.

Bright in my reverent hand of awed respect
green emerald God Eye of the holy Earth
gleams with transcendent flame of timeless faith
in arcane runes that spell my secret name,
so I dream whole history of Earth unfold
at primal revelation of false truth.
