Life-Giver Of Everywhere

What special favor time may ask of me
I will not sell in exchange for the key
that opens portal of far-leaping faith
so I can find the ancient psychic path
down which I dance with brave Icarian wings
to crumbling temple where the blind girl sings.

Yet time still pesters me with tempting wealth
through sprites that follow me with clumsy stealth
to trick my eyes with glamorous reward
at subtle harmony of the star chord
which vibrates far across the universe
as vaccine administered by the nurse.

Despite how time attempts to thwart my plans
to gather and unite wild highland clans,
I carry treasure that embodies truth
defined by state of intellectual swath
emblazed across vast meadow of glass towers
where lost refugees wander among flowers.

Since fear explodes from factories of hope
in billowed blooms of desire-tangled rope,
Orion chases demon of despair
up forever-winding heaven-bound stair
to build from shadows of electric woods
cloud puzzles invented by humble gods.

Shocked by how fast our bodies age and die,
Cassandra waits on bridge of the god eye
to ask each passing traveler why fate
contrives to lure our frantic fall in hate,
but no one answers riddle of her heart
so she weeps and tears up deceptive chart.

Because he knows these spells contain no code
that programs how our brains perceive the road,
he kneels before idol of the blind god
and offers loyalty of his gold rod
as guaranty that time will crush our souls
to swirling dust kicked up by hoofs of foals.

From pyramid of ever-shifting cubes
Fire Serpent rises above web of tubes
where she unfetters wings of flower songs
which illustrate morality of wrongs
that spread from Life-Giver of Everywhere
as sunrays that nurture fruit trees of care.

Our world adorned with skeins of holy light
weaves psychic bodies in matrix of right
so divine colors restore inner sense
with mythic vision of dream recompense
that we share with good people we love most
whose absence glimmers as the eyeless ghost.

Orpheus joins Orion and Cassandra on the bridge of the god eye to see if fortune still favors the bold.
