Out of the west, an angel thought has come
To slice the darkness with its flaming sword.
The forces of evil, facing delirium,
Thrust the thoughts of sin to counter the Lord.
.
But armed with Love, the angel’s legends still stand
And fight, as one, Revelation’s great whore.
Temptation versus temperance: the flames are fanned,
The swords are drawn, the shields are raised – the roar!
.
Outnumbered like Constantine, Christ’s corps unfurls
The banner of Science; and God’s law prevails.
Mankind seeks the new name as priceless pearls
Once hidden at depths traversed only by whales.
.
The strength of the sea and the gentleness on wing
Wed on “the Golden Shore of Love” in Life’s spring.
