REVELATION

Empyrean streams quench Day's fire,

flood the dusty welkin's

furnaces with deepest violet-blue.

Plumy pearly panicles encircle Polaris,

coronate the composedness

of distant glacial grandeur.

Zephyrus woos Chloris, mirroring the

play of the aeons around the moon,

more light than substance

this sedate night, a wishful sprite upon

her throne, yet, ever mindful of her

fealty pledged to celestial suzerains

upon Time's shores.

A temperate glow, as one of goodness,

of an exalted potency

human faculties shall never render,

silvers the air into a space

of knowing, as though all creation were

nestled in the heart of

a capacious bloom of heavenly radiance.

The glutted spirit rests in the solace of  

blessed visitation; prayers rise into

the æther, the Light heals and completes.

Even divinities would kneel before

this tranquil argent splendour, as eternity,

for one fleeting, hallowed moment,

shines through transience.
