Such is Death!

Invocation of Thanatos, and His Death Sacrament.
"Be seekers of death. Death will teach you about being chosen."
(Jesus, from The Secret Book of James)

Such is Death!

~

The Black Sun shines

like the Dragon's breath,

issuing forth rays of destructiveness.

Sol Niger endarkens my mind;

his catabolic gaze afire,

ashes to ashes expire.

The Anti-Christ, now risen,

negates this world undone;

Luciferic lucidity sees through to the bone.

Shivic consciousness ablaze

blackens and burns,

returns me to the grave.

But the Phoenix rises

like the new-born day;

life and death, in the end,

turn out to be the same:

the flow and ebb motion

of the same primordial Ocean.

Thanatos, lord of death,

there is no resurrection

without your wrath.

God, you are known

through your inBreath home:

your holy exSpiration

transports me to your Kingdom come.
