Safe In The Sad Forever

Safe in the sad forever of my heart,
I take solace with arrogant respect
that all living creatures move toward their end,
because at final rush of victory
beneath brilliant cross of flashing sunrays
we know strange beauty of eternity.

Safe in the sad forever of God Brain,
I ride electric horse with rainbow wings
in swirling chaos of perceptive plans
to take my children to the river park
where they play tag with fairies and kobolds
that teach them secrets of eternal life.

Safe in the sad forever of huge books,
I play mad wizard to categorize
the fantasy-industrial complex
composed of spiritual cults that preserve
arcane secrets of invisible seers
who keep wise Sibyl locked in golden cage.

Safe in the sad forever of fruit trees,
I chat about philosophy of truth
with rainbow serpent of the sorcerer
who teaches me how to reanimate
bodies of the dead with potion of faith
brewed from honey and mushrooms with love.

Safe in the sad forever of vast woods,
I measure winding flow of mountain streams
through brave analysis of legal rights
concerning who asserts their privilege
to play the broken lyre of Mercury
preserved in museum of singing skulls.

Safe in the sad forever of deep lakes,
I program zeitgeist of the modern world
in fractured narrative of fairytales
describing placid life of cubicles
as high achievement of the human race
since evolving four hundred million years.

Safe in the sad forever of glass church,
I bend slant rays of alabaster keys
to catch swift falcon of the history gyre
who shows me how to bind the center core
which holds all nations of the world by law
united through bold rights of liberty.

Safe in the sad forever of gold clouds,
I write code for world spirit of the Earth
at second coming of messiah sleuth
who plays the broken lyre inside my heart
with vexed assessment of lost centuries
when I slouch toward Oregon to be born.

Orpheus finds millions of people wandering lost in the sad forever of everywhere, so he plays the lyre of Mercury till it breaks with urgent despair.
