Academic Path Of Truth

The academic path of truth I follow leads
my curious quest through waste land of the heart
to find I must create the Promised Land
by planting seeds of faith in fertile soil
then tending theories with measuring hands
to cultivate true vision of the world.

I wonder about vision of the world
that bridges alien planets of our hearts
with taut-wound rope of attentive respect
that provides strong emotional support
when we dance across vast abyss of death
to overcome ourselves and become gods.

If I should memorize how beams of light
slant through cathedral windows of tree groves,
I might hear soft primeval songs of birds
spark ancient program of perceptive faith
that projects virtual model of the world
to remember evolving fish to god.

Thus with electric eyes of honest love
I feel sacred shine of the universe
radiate from aching sorrow of my heart
so I walk outside temple of my mind
to weave each individual twinkling star
in constellations of immortal gods.

When I transcend bound limits of this flesh
and soar above the world on angel wings
so every dreamer sees mask of my face,
I almost believe I have become god
till I wake still stuck in my mortal brain
and realize my journey is but a dream.

Walking beneath the tree of nectarines,
I bear my new-born child in cradling arms
to stand in rays of sunlight on wet grass
and feel the endless spinning of the Earth
till dizzy with strange vision of the world
I float away into the cloudy sky.

We are the Lost Ones on the signless road
forever walking toward land of the sun
yet stop along the way to build new fane
where we relax and feast with dance and song
every thousand years till empires fall
and send us wandering toward the setting sun.

Though we walk far ten thousand lonely years,
we stand amazed on harsh shore of the ocean
to sing with solemn hymn of swirling waves
that fills our brains with pure forever vision
depicting evolution of the soul
since all we build is washed out to the sea.
