Reluctance Of The Fool

Daring to boldly look Death in the eye,
I sing new lamentation for the lost
with helpless agitation of one soul
shocked at dissolution of the world view
our grandfathers built from skulls of dead gods
to play god

River Full Of Fish

Strange stories of boys and their fathers bleed
sap from trees of ancient forests they saw
with sharp-toothed tool of mute fear to construct
one lone temple by river full of fish
that expands into the vast city maze

Cyclic Patterns Of Return

My ancestors once lived on river boats,
spending all day floating on silver waves
to flow with the current of constant change
that swirls in cyclic patterns of return,
day after day catching fish from the dark,

Bleeding Hands Of Faith

Wandering so long in the Other World
shaped from memories of the distant past
my ancestors programmed into my brain,
I gaze amazed at this world of machines
that transformed feudal kingdoms of farms
into computer-

Alligator Of Ambition

If the indifferent butterfly of chaos
remembers riddle of the secret name
my mother invented from scattered stones,
then I can gather apples of the mind
from lonely grandmother tree by the lake

Puzzle Of Astarianity

The history of human civilization
begins with Amen, Mother of Mankind,
sitting on her small flat-top pyramid,
sheltered by four pillars of tall palm trees,
and describing creation of the world
in song while

Four Hundred Apples

Four hundred apples fall into my hand
so I scatter their seed cores in soil
along the road I walk to Neverland
to play life of leisure instead of toil
in cheerful valley of the singing horse

Man With The Crooked Mask

Befuddled by distinguished prayer of fear,
uttered by tall man with the crooked mask,
the stone angel, blazing with timeless truth,
mumbles half-spell of disconsolate joy

House Of The Lost

Searching empty houses on road of time,
that leads me deep in crowded city maze,
I pause at sudden mystery of soft chime
that makes me wonder why this wordless daze
leaves me stranded on Bridge of

Their Names In Clouds

I hear sad Rachael singing in the field
while weeping at the tomb where Jacob lies,
so I record the verses of her voice
that women for their dead husbands still sing,
even as their homes are

New Starting Point

I cannot wait for the new starting point,
so I rebuild intricate state of mind
through articulate clarity of love
by sprouting demon wings from broken hearts,

Gold River Of Faith

I love the little gold river that flows
between grassy banks of bushes and trees,
so I strip off my name and social class,
and swim nude in the cool water of faith
which cleanses my heart of sorrow

Find My Blind Angel

I lose my blind angel down by the sea
who gives me tomato sandwich to eat
so I drive my expensive sports car fast
through endless shining maze of city streets,
then lie in grass beneath the apple

I didn't expect to wake up yesterday morning and watch a video about the meaning of life as examined and explained through video games. I especially didn't expect that this was something I really needed and which both comforted and moved me.

This video by Juniper Dev is a so very well put philosophy lesson - communicated in a captivating and beautiful way. Definitely a recommended watch.

Hestia Tends The Flame

Throwing mask of her face on pile of skulls,
Hestia tends fire in hearth of the wood fane
while ravens caw in oak trees by the lake,
then places wolf-fur cloak on her old father
who snores in
