Death Is So Beautiful

Death is so beautiful in her black dress,
Apollo sings into the microphone
while Dionysus plays the saxophone
and Orpheus twangs the psychotic lyre
in Le Bal Blomet jazz club in gay Paris
while ghosts who will die in the world war dance.

Floating in eerie sorrow of the trance,
Death twirls with graceful arrogance of love
in crowd of people lost in haze of hope
who dance to escape stark vision of fear
for angels in silver planes who will fly
and drop bombs on gardens of paradise.

Alive on Earth four hundred million years,
Death walks beside me on the road of life
and smiles with joy for beauty of this world
while telling me with beaming heart of love
how wonderful all the human beings are
who savor life with hot flame of the star.

Viridian waves of the innocent sea
flash as they swirl on gold sand of the beach
with amazing lessons they want to teach,
but I just stare at mirror of my eye
that shelters our world in sphere of fresh air
which fills our bodies with pneumatic soul.

When I slouch paralyzed by grim despair
at constant suffering that people endure
everywhere else in never-ending pain,
Death takes my hand with smile of joyful love
and leads me in dance on our spinning globe
that spirals on forever in the void.

Death gazes at me with infinite eyes
that glitter deep as boundless space through time
so I feel vastness of the human heart
that pulses with pure energy of hope
to progress forward on the roadless plain
within expansive strangeness of the sky.

Though shock of horror pierces my soft heart
with bitter angst at unfairness of fate
that strands so many helpless souls in pain,
I rise up from mud in oppressive rain
to untwist wisdom of my heart from hate
by mapping quest for love on my star chart.

Death is so beautiful with her black eyes,
I sing as I strum lyre of Mercury
with heart-enchanting melody of faith
that stirs the hearts of millions from despair
so we all dance with spinning of the Earth
to celebrate life till hour we all die.

Orpheus sings haunting hymn of love while Death follows him from Hell to sit together under the Tree of Life by the River Styx where they make love so she gives birth to Adam and Eve.
