Meadow Of Rejuvenation

Head aching from frantic activity
racing all day in the vast city maze
to chase elusive butterfly of wealth,
I stumble outside gates of paradise
to seek calm solace in Neorxnawang,
heavenly meadow of rejuvenation.

After revving loud engine of my car
to drive with tense aggression of desire
in rumbling herd of metal-shelled machines,
I glide with elegant grace of sweet bliss
among broad-canopied trees full of fruit
with leaves that whisper in the river breeze.

From walking quickly on cement sidewalks,
talking in meetings, and composing code
on computers to meet looming deadlines,
I go lie down on grassy sloping shore
to relax among sweet delicate flowers
and eat juicy fruit in Neorxnawang.

Ears buzzing from roar of factory machines,
clanks of forklifts, bangs of tall metal doors,
and shouts of bosses declaring commands,
I listen to soft thrum of taut brass strings
as angels strum melodies on spruce harps
and sing enchanting tunes of peaceful dreams.

Throat stinging from billows of car exhaust
as I drive crowded smog-veiled city streets
and cough from factory-polluted air,
I breathe fresh wind tinged with salty sea waves
that fill my exhausted body with scent
of divine beauty in Neorxnawang.

From narrow canyons of steel and glass towers
crowded with people in small cubicles
who enter data in spreadsheet reports,
I travel Glaesisvellir, Glittering Plains
in bright Undying Lands of Odainsaker,
to dwell with my family in our safe home.

Driving vast urban landscape of tall buildings
where millions wear masks of fake superheroes
in fierce competition to gain more wealth,
I search outside high gold walls of Heaven
on roads that wind around Elysian Fields
to my fruit garden in Neorxnawang.

Exhausted from working in maze of hope,
forever running fast against the clock
to gain power and wealth in game of death,
I journey outside gates of paradise
to seek salvation in Neorxnawang,
heavenly meadow of rejuvenation.
