Triumph Of Calm Emptiness

I float awake on river of the dawn
with savage avarice of holy faith
urging me to emulate lust of light
that ravishes my soul with eerie tunes
of water rippling with splendor of love
that swells compassion from my aching heart.

How often my astonished heart awakes
from shocking tenderness of flashing waves
when I emerge from absolute despair
to watch bright laurel leaves of innocence
mimic dominance of butterfly wings
that lift me far above this heavy shore.

Shocked by serene exaltation of wind
that whispers ancient knowledge in tree leaves,
I seek arcane meaning of pulsing fruit
that helps me remember names of the dead
whose faces shimmer on the morning moon
at bleak dominion of enchanted snow.

Asserting triumph of calm emptiness,
embraced by beauty of the absolute,
my heart ascends on wings of victory
at voiceless sorrow of brave endurance
since I abide in loneness of the all
that wraps my nothingness in shapeless whole.

Taut string of math-empowered particles,
defined by strict relationship of thought
to sensuous enchantment of bright rain,
vibrates with solid waves of ardency
through sacrament of misunderstood spells
that bears us on river of divine love.

With intimate attention to sound waves
on which our souls of desire undulate,
we abandon hope to intricate flow
that deconstructs rhymed meter of regret
so we identify with ache of love
that marks each phase of passion we transcend.

Enchanted by strange spell of melody
that reassembles fragments of our dreams
from phantasmagoria of intense love
through spiritual integrity we share,
our bodies pulse with corresponding truths
that bloom inside vast hollow of the heart.

We move with majestic uncertainty
through sensual curtains of absurdity
to spark ambition of brave energy
so we transcend all mountains of desire
when we attain perfection of respect
to row boat of faith past oblivion.
