Journey Around The World

Halfway to the other side of the world
I find the valley where I was first born
when I crawled from the lake of dreaming eyes
to climb the tree of truth for tryst with love
who gives me fruit of innocent respect,
so I return to water of my soul.

Climbing endless stairway to golden clouds
where angels play harps in grand crystal halls,
I stop and look back down the winding road
where I have journeyed for millions of years,
amazed I continue to generate
new bodies for ascension beyond death.

Soft yellow shortness of infinity
expands surrounding tightness of my heart
to breathe celestial wind of honest hope
that song of sorrow in the rippling stream
may heal the festering wounds of blind despair
that never trap me in the Promised Land.

Each life I generate with you evolves
fish to lizard to mouse to cat to monkey
to wingless angel singing thoughts of faith
while strumming lyre designed by Mercury
to help me manage buzz of anxious rage
and translate fear to vision of creation.

My thoughts are pebbles on vast ocean shore,
polished by ninety million years of waves
that pump hot blood of vanity in veins
of tangled matrix containing my soul
which radiates bright from neurons of my brain
till my frame dissolves from indifferent rain.

While holding pink lotus blooms in her hands,
she smiles at me with pure angelic joy
that glows as fragile candle of delight
through vast eternity of heavy gloom,
so we embrace and generate new life
who sings still long after we disappear.

Breathing ethereal spirit of the sun,
I control swirl of anxious energy
that buzzes into tangles of regret
in taut accumulation of fierce guilt,
then transform fear into brave confidence
through mental action of composing songs.

After four hundred million years of growth
through quadrupedal forms from fish to god
I analyze true nature of my being
to gaze with wonder at our spinning globe
from which sprouts conscious spirits in the flesh
who journey around the world countless times.
