Earth Will Never End

Apocalyptic glow of evening light
when the sun glares at me through quiet trees
reveals to me that Earth will never end
for globe of bubbling chemicals will spin
billions of years more in the starry void
so I never have to tell you my love.

Four horsemen gallop on the windy plain
with scales and swords of legal punishment
when they attack traitors on thrones of power
to drive dictators from towers of fear
which frees the people from cruel tyranny
so we can tell each other of our love.

Lost in endless maze of bureaucracy,
forever filling out official forms
which grim-faced clerks declare are incorrect,
we wander homeless in dark city streets
to gather under bridges where trolls lurk
intending to sell illusions of love.

Smoking cigarettes in seedy cafe
beside abandoned radio factory,
Mercury ponders the meaning of life,
then tries to call the pretty castle spy
who never answers office telephone
with secret information about fate
wizards need to construct engines of love.

Though I rarely hope for justice to reign
while trudging toward final home of my grave,
I surf the tidal wave of social change
that sweeps nationalists and racists away
and cleanses fertile meadows of the world
for the rest of us to tend gardens of love.

Because it is the journey that counts more
than our arrival at the Promised Land
I keep on walking past the pearly gates
to map graceful curves of bright river streams
where villagers gather in ring of stones
to celebrate marriages of true love.

Small cat who sleeps on shelf of well-read books
beneath clear window of the shining world
transforms into Griffin with ruby eyes
who soars above the endless maze of myths
to photograph every city on Earth
as holy satellite of divine love.

When demons Zepar and Naberius
lead Christian soldiers into holy war
to fight crusade against wise Lucifer,
I walk ten thousand miles to sea of eyes
where maple leaves fall in the morning fog
from which emerges brave princess of love.
