Lord Love Life

stream of cosmic spirit conscience more real than surreal real

i looked across the sea of space and saw your face serene, 

still . . . benevolent . . . tranquil . . . shining across that great plain

with its flat planed, shimmering riffles of textured folds

dazzling pure pristine, yet agonizingly separating you from me

across those watery ridges far, eternal vibes did cross my mind, 

with their mysteries diffused tantalizingly infused into myself, 

my soul, its inner being perplexed and captivated 

until futility bound in league with vanity 

both, they did concede 

with hopelessness too, it did recede

overwhelmed by a sudden inner growth of joy,

its utter meaning conceived received upon my sight of your face 

though outside my hold to reach 

through impassable distance across that vast and shining sea

for though now i be consigned to this place, assigned upon this earth 

upon my sight of your face; 

it did bring me comfort in this time

in this present midst of despair profound

you have added meaning, though at present daily brings 

deep pain, common to mortal man

the seeming cosmic mechanical turns of eternity's wheels

it's purpose disguised

religions' paths darkend and thornied roads, 

beliefs of frozen death, mere existence 

sun rise, sun set . . . 

its billion roads invented laid by blinded leading blind

vexed philosophies of human mind, its din of futile noise

evolved offshoots, Darwinian twists of data truths sublime, 

blended mixed with fabled proven lies disguised, victims' hypnotized

at times i've bought into those lies of life as just a cog

primordial soup drunk by apes and cro magnon hominids

smoking pipes in hallowed halls a bit of bone 

fragment part of skull purported 3 million years

inconceivable old bits of bone and spiders' webs

existence' existentialists' vain, lost in a puff

a puff of carbon 14 gas belch expelled

though i cannot fault those who buy and swallow the stuff

find themselves in pits of quagmire, mind depressing tar

sinking, thinking is that all there is?

you and me, a grain of sand in the cosmic void 

not one entity, organism, so told, is of any virtue

simple matter of random molecules colliding in a certain niche

of the mindless, heartless universe, evolution's product, 

conclusive science proof, of no consequence, just a Nietzsche 

and nothing else . . .

as i thought to reach for a lithium pill

my mind my eye my heart was calmed and stilled

i looked across your shining sea and you revealed to me

your love profound, your voice impressed into my heart

"Be strong, let me uphold you by my hand, 

my love to you endowed

fill your mind with knowledge of my own,

whilst in your flesh and blood, 

endure the heavy hand, my shield upon your chest

knowledge of my revealed truth sealed upon your helmeted head

with my name written upon your palms,

your life eternal sealed upon this earth, 

this world will not eternal last, all will pass

when it be over I myself will show you all that's real

you will drink, your thirst will be forever past

you will build, and nothing will break it down

light will shine, and you will not be burned,

you will laugh and no one will mock your heart

I give you a heart of love, no poison darts can bring you harm

no want of need, no pain of greed, no fear of this or that,

I will dress you in the finest garments made of light,

shine the highest of the bright surpassing the brightest stars

yet you will not preen in narcissists' conceit,

because my love is humble, in steady form, 

unassuming unpretentious attributes

my gifts yours free bestowed

the universe I made for you,

I lay it all at your feet

you are unique, of priceless value

there will be no voids, I myself have paved the way

in freedom's will to be complete."
