Shining wake-mire boils!
White-haired deep heaves!
(Heap it up! Heap it up!)
Mud sucks under-flux, cuts,
cracks creep across earth mantle cover-crust
High Beast beats low, sneezes flame
(and all the lovers say: ‘My heart leaps up!')
Lumbering limbs laughingly lift heavenward,
crush cumbrous, shut up in scales,
flails tails log-like, slashing,
mighty afraid of his crashings
‘Who can open the doors of his face, with his terrible teeth all around?’
What spatial strictures on Creation’s facial features?
Deep sea creatures, deep space structures,
Oh, gargantuan form and frightening frame
Frolic before the Omnipotent!
Heaven:
A hundred eyes burning from a body
Thunderous winging wondrous, ringing
graced, four-faced (Lion! Ox! Eagle! Man!)
molten glowing metal showing
moves of cloven hooves,
awesome rims of wheels full of eyes
under fiery whirlwind skies
engulfed in jagged jumping lightning-flame,
HOME
of the white-hot engine
beneath the great white
THRONE!
Abyss assailing abyss
in this unveiling instance of the Omnipresence!
While a giant hand knocks on the shoddy sky,
a Voice turns my bones turn to water:
‘Child, child, child,
let me in before the night comes.’
Many Dimensions in Unison:
Every tribe, tongue, nation
revels in the revelation Omniscient!
Exponential thousands of experiential
multi-dimensional creatures in the deafening ecstatica
to the Voice of the Mysterion!
Interim:
‘Will you put a hook in his nose,
leash him for your maidens?
Lay your hand on him:
Remember the battle—Never do it again!’
The Teachers, The Preachers
The Four Living Creatures
flanked Him with triple sanctum
(‘HOLY! HOLY! HOLY!’)
in the Omnisophical scheme
of Yahweh Elohim.
logos pistis dunamis theos
And underneath are the everlasting arms
logos pistis dunamis theos...
The Maker Speaks:
Seven eyes!
Seven horns!
The Lamb that was torn
scorns the shame
breaks the seals
reveals the Name!
Fearsome roaring of the Lion of Praise…

A number of people have asked to see this in print since I recited it at my Dad's memorial service last year. It's a Voice of the Mysterons song I wrote from around 2006.
