Diamonds Of Eternal Stars

The lonely traveler of everywhere
wonders if his search for Rome will reveal
foundations of truth built on bones of gods
who still walk the streets in bodies of people
because the Tiber still flows in their veins
with grandeur resurrected from cracked stones.

The fugitive from programmed time of chance
maintains permanent residence with faith
in ruins rebuilt into halls of glass
that shimmer again on the Palatine
where ghosts of warriors with ambitious plans
participate in grand cathedral shows.

The lonely traveler on endless roads
admires quaint chapel with statue of Mary
whose eyes are diamonds of eternal stars
that gleam the nothing in our hungry hearts
so we pray silently in candlelight
with pious respect for beauty of death.

Heroic dust of priests who ruled our minds
will never assemble again into souls
who climb high mountains of sincerity
to tread golden stars of eternity
with grim confidence in the afterlife
where changeless ideas of things persist.

Animal motivated by weird reason,
I ride swift chariot on the battlefield
and fire arrow of justice at the tyrant
because Death haunts confidence of my path
when I plow city towers to erase
colonial empire of angelic pride.

Secure within legalized walls of Heaven,
Ziphion keeps watch in tower of desire
to protect his family against invaders
who brandish weapons of arrogant faith
in holy righteousness of their lost cause
because winners name the land for their father.

Whatever her name and name of her son,
the Mother and Child in temple of hope
represent every family on Earth,
so I forge key of faith from bones of god
that opens every door of every home
where we share songs from ancient books of flame.

My heart filled with delight in the Great Being,
though it glows indifferent to my success,
seeks wisdom in the song of ocean waves
which I translate to tangled sentences
inadequate to portray the real world
except as toy models of my childhood.
