Utopia forfeited – errant forebears
banished, barred by flaming sword,
marred image multiply
pale reflection of original design
~~~~
Veiled radiance of prophet’s face
quickly fading luminosity
Impenetrable enigma
awaits future manifestation
~~~~
Spoils of war – disappearing ark,
captured by exultant foe
Departing Shekinah
stolen from rightful residence
~~~~
Returns in metamorphic moment
glowing countenance
incandescent raiment
inner ray thro’ human clay
~~~~
Atop mount accompanied
by denizens of a former age
earnestly communing
over approaching exodus
~~~~
Glory through sacrifice restored
broken man, blood out-poured.
Understand opaquely finished task
peering through dark-tinted glass
~~~~
