Savor Force Of Life

I want to cancel my birthday this year
so with assertion of puzzled respect
I may arrest corruption of the flesh
to float in psychic stasis of calm faith
by tricking Death from noticing my age
because I want savor force of life.

I have wandered across the entire Earth
two hundred thousand years to chase the sun,
Africa east to China where time starts,
back west to Scotland where the sun descends,
and then across the sea to Oregon
where I discover that our world is round.

Now I wait in lush Appalachian hills
in silent afternoon of timeless glow
while all the fractured nations of our world
vainly resist rise of one global state
where every human who breathes air of hope
shares progress of justice and liberty.

Or so I wish to believe in my heart
that we are all striving for one grand goal
with common passion to improve our world
so every person born from womb of hope
has freedom to pursue their happiness,
safe from cruel exploitation and abuse.

I want to forge vision of paradise
that inspires me with hope for future growth
to structure framework with bold principles
providing courage for each human being
to work and play with equal honesty
in social network of our global state.

Though I am growing older by the day
with each relentless turn of Earth in space,
I feel comprehensive flow of history
power attentive respect of my heart
through efficient gears of honest response
which motivates my quest for global peace.

Yet dark storm clouds of national discharge
crash thunderously with tides of social change
that smash institutions of global power
so I must surf tsunami of concern
with progressive plan to transform my soul
so I improve persona in response.

I choose to remain at sixty years old,
as Earth hurtles on in the godless void,
to retain timeless state of mental being
preserved in record of conceptual dreams
with riddling code in verse of psychic play
that you will not solve till it is too late.

Orpheus hides in the grotto of Sainte-Baume to play hide and seek with the Mermaid who wants to celebrate his birthday, and grins when she finds him and offers him chocolate cake.
