Winding Road Of Change
Winding Road Of Change

When I am ready for the leap of faith
from crumbling tower of religious hope
I spread wings I borrow from Icarus
and wonder with amazement of mute awe
why I am me and no one else alive,
then lean against the balustrade and sigh.
Solaria beams rays of holy light
through web of branches in the Tree of Life
to luminate deep cavern of my heart
where wise demon of my genetic soul
conducts analysis of social vibes
so I navigate vast maze of myths well.
Telluria molds genes of memories
from tangled vines of innocent desire,
transforming body of material flesh
four hundred million years from fish to god
that programs how my mind perceives the world
so I generate life before I die.
Venturia breathes whole ethereal soul
through brave pneumatic gust of energy
which animates my body of frail flesh
with compassion of visionary hope
that flashes conscious sense of secret self
so I sense cosmic God wake in my brain.
Thalassia swirls waves of timeless faith
across courageous landscape of my heart
which motivates ambitious quest for truth
that drives my progress on the road of life
to conserve stories of human exploits
in chronicles of failure and success.
Saturnus wakes my spirit from strange dream
and guides my way on winding road of change
to navigate confusing maze of ghosts
so I find broken lyre of Mercurius
that he designed six thousand years ago
from turtle shell and strings of aching love.
Apollon finds me tangled in despair
so he frees my heart from lustful desire
by teaching my voice to manipulate
images of feeling with words of thought
so I transcend greed with selfless concern
when I articulate soul of mankind.
As wingless angel born from womb of Earth,
I crawl from sea along river of hope,
climb generous Tree of Life to eat fruit,
then follow river to Mountain of Truth
where I map history of humanity
as we strive to transcend despair with love.

Orpheus finds me paralyzed in the empty church so he strikes my heart with lightning and teaches me to sing with voice of the ocean waves.
