Jump The Clock Of Fate

Surprised by beauty of the sudden sun
that strips cold darkness from essence of things,
I feel my soul emerge from words of books
to float through troposphere of psychic waves
and surf eclectic tides of social change
when I decide to jump the clock of fate.

Gold rays of dawn illuminate my face
as I stride bravely down the signless road
to leave valley home of wheatfields behind
and journey to the castle court of power
to join the justice squad of loyalty
when I conspire to jump the clock of fate.

Startled by serpent of Tiresias,
who guards gate of Heaven with Wand of Weird,
I solve strange riddle of his honey tongue
that man is mask of his ancestral ghost,
then enter paradise with cautious faith
when I arrive to jump the clock of fate.

Assigned to assist honest Sisyphus,
I perform role of psychic architect
to construct cathedral of slanting light
that calculates through angled formulas
immortal spirit of the spinning wheel
when I resolve to jump the clock of fate.

Alert to clever scheme of Tantalus
to crown his son, mad Midas, King of Earth,
I reassign the chess-game characters
by changing rules of interactive play
allowing me to win against his greed
when I contrive to jump the clock of fate.

Inspired by frantic faith of Icarus
to escape tower where Rapunzel weeps,
I soar above the endless maze of myths
to fracture idols of dead gods with truth
whose howling voices scream from violins
when I ascend to jump the clock of fate.

Amazed by wisdom of calm Athamas
to rescue Daphne from the laurel tree,
I dive with courage in the surging sea
and rescue Helle from depths of despair
so we raise children in our apple grove
when I refuse to jump the clock of fate.

Five hundred years ago in swirl of time
more than one million separate human beings
over twenty generations converge
to wake as memories in my dreaming brain
so I expand my divine consciousness
when I contract to jump the clock of fate.

Orpheus employs conceptual tools to repair the clock of fate that seems to have gotten broken from overuse by people jumping across the multiverse of various Earths.
