A Question to the Master Potter

Master Potter how You fashion my heart

do You throw as You know?

do You fire me fast or deep and slow?

do You see before the end

before it's all complete?

or is it all a mystery to You as well?

how i react to the spin

the dry the blaze the glaze the wait

the revealing at last

do You say now, or hold until then

"it is very, very good"

Leviathan's Vein

from leviathan's vein
came a fountain to make the foulest villain
pale in ashen dread
for the head of evil had just been severed
in one breath - three words
from one true King

sing then, ye bards
come then, and muse on this victory
to last for all eternity
for man's hopeless destiny
was suddenly rent
asunder by Passion's great Champion

and now, alive each soul can be
as Adam, as Eve again
re-united with Him again
Who fashioned our being
by His dear breath

Death, then, thou hath died
and Evil soon to follow that crypt
and ev'ry lie, ev'ry decaying sin
fall defeated as dust on ashen ground
now stamped into a pauper's grave
and forgotten so forever

for now the bands between the graven sky
shine gleaming turquoise
and ebullient blue
to burn freedom's brand
upon the soul-skin
of ev'ry new-born man
