The Mystic

*

Long have I roam’d and spoke in praise of You.

For love of peril, I rode my good bikes

Relentlessly, without a thing to do.

The stars have witness’d me on boundless hikes.

*

Your silver quill on boughs of linden trees

Do write the verse I cannot seem to read.

Too sharp, too thin, Your hands on wings of bees

Delineate shapes I cannot seem to breed.

*

But please refrain from thinking humans err.

Perspectives change and rearrange upon

This ball of dirt; they choose what they prefer

In every moment, which rock to roll on.

*

The end of times is here for You to feast,

The clock is dead, long live the holy beast.
