0 The Fool

Oh how the joy of carefree love, Is light upon my silky brow, A Rose of Venus in my palm, To all the Earth I disavow. Oh Sacred Union in my hand, Bestow on me a young man's heart, Instinct and senses guide me not, From my ego I must depart. Beast of burden fore shadow not, The Edge of this material realm, Blindly I venture with four winds, The light of Logos at my helm. The working tools of life within, A purse atop my phallic rod, I stand as all humanity, As I bow to a nameless God. Oh how the cold and distant snow, Of ignorance does many rule, But in the glory of the Sun, In eternal truth stands the Fool. A Fool, to many thoughts is lost, like distant cobwebs from a dream, Revelations scattered beyond, Like grains of sand beneath a stream.
