Evening Star Of Choice

If I feel the Evening Star through thick fog
that half-veils tidal flats of kelp on rocks,
though my eyes cannot perceive its sharp light,
I may breathe time-swirled element of faith
that jagged pool of invisible light
may cleanse my wounded heart with honesty.

Lost in dark fog of brutal watershine,
far from safe cave of innocent respect,
I transform into heron in low tide
with eager hope to soar on graceful wings
above contentious crowds of worshippers
who seek to grasp bright calcium flame of truth.

Scattered feathers from fallen angels twitch
in hungry sand of fractured polity,
oblique with evasive context of rage
misleading sharp-eyed devils who require
typographic planes of opaque dispute
drawn from excessive expertise of fear.

Imprinted layers of conceptual fate,
still wrapped in umber clarity of trust,
define unended journeys beyond fear
condensed as statues guarding halls of lies
where whispered secrets of gauzed confidence
conceal our souls in figurines of glass.

Though startling sequence of dream formulas
pluck private strings of cordial scarcity,
hall mirror faces mirror of my brain
with law of splendid light to balance pain
against collapsing telescope of fate
through which I see the Evening Star of Choice.

Amazed by radiance of the unseen house,
preserving shocked glare of the puppeteer,
I light ten thousand candles of my heart
to highlight origin of tangled words
that multiply our bodies from desire
which thrive sparked on infinity effect.

Electric construct of my mental Self,
style modeled on profile of Orpheus
refined by quantum energy of love,
provides framework for weird ontology
I program from puzzle of spectral souls
which animates my fragile flame of dreams.

Syntax of artificial chronicles,
commissioned from my heart by primal gods,
converts my thoughts to tangled threads of words
which angels weave in global tapestries
presenting unreal shadows of our brains
we play as riddles in Plutonian homes.

Orpheus teaches the young bard how to alchemically transform disparate elements of conceptual riddles into hymns to Athena and Apollo.
