Flash Of Endless Time

Awake on the longest night of the year,
I float forever on strange sea of light
that glitters from infinite flow of thoughts
through undulating waves of aching hope
to pierce heart of darkness with sudden faith
that lights my eyes with flash of endless time.

Attentive glory weaves from mirror glass
frail skeleton of hunger I become
as I transform from fish to wingless cat
with motivation to leap depths of fear
and climb high curling vine of juicy fruit
that fills my heart with flash of endless time.

Extension of my eager will to grasp
elusive treasure of rain-dripping fruit
molds wiggling fingers from my padded paws
so I grab vine and swing from tree to tree
to climb enormous mountain to the sky
that binds my soul with flash of endless time.

Ascension of my mind from shadowed vales
provides firm platform high above bright clouds
where I perceive vast landscape of this globe
that spins among star-ghosts in boundless void
through ever-changing swirls of energy
that guide my way with flash of endless time.

Religious focus of my throbbing heart
through intense discipline of sharpened wit
fuels fearless assertion of my desire
as I evolve to monkey from swift cat
while leaping trees from sea to shining sea
that weave my dreams with flash of endless time.

Affirmed by sturdy foundation of hope,
having lost my tail to swing among trees,
I dance in surge of hungry ocean waves
to walk upright with balanced attitude
so I grasp straightened stick and stone of fate
that drives my game with flash of endless time.

Attribution of values to new shapes
provides framework for vision of my eyes
to mold mud in bricks stacked in ziggurats
from which I rule as mortal god on Earth
to manage world food-production machine
that runs my brain with flash of endless time.

Four hundred million years of spinning faith
transforms my quadrupedal form of flesh
fish to lizard to mouse to cat to ape
to wingless angel aching to play god,
so I strum lyre of Mercury and sing
spells that chronicle flash of endless time.
