The Book of Heaven

~

The Book of Heaven in the skies,

sends down its message into my mind;

containing one "Word" only to be learned,

language of God no ear has heard.

~

And so its Light refracts into Pages,
four elemental languages interpreted;
earthen instincts, watery emotions,
airy logic, rising into fiery intuition.

~

The Book's mythology reveals its meaning,

through inSpiration and nightly dreaming;

artistic expression channeling the "Word,"

slowly we awaken to the Soul inside .

~

And as we process life's immanence,

from Seed to Flower the truth emerges;

each Page a colour of the Serpent,

gets absorbed through fallen experience.

~

The fifth Page is "blacker than black,"

caused by holy fire, the Raven's attack;

the Black Sun, door to transcendence,

Nigredo, burns away all false pretense.

~

The sixth Page of blazing white,

alchemical Albedo where the Dove resides;

how its wind of pneuma blows,

then turns the next Page of Rubedo.

~

Soaked in the richness of holy blood,

God's wrathful wine-press of crushing love;

squeezing all together, fusion into One,

red Phoenix forges the golden Sun.

~

How strange this Book of Heaven reads,

streaming Light down the halls of history;

with its one "Word" message etched in Stone,

Pearl of truth, born of Serpent wisdom.
