Nüwa Repairs the Breach in Heaven
For I do believe there are dragons in….
The peak of piety had been hiking for days, his feet raw, from the battered climb to Heaven. He was known by many names, the prince of earth, the pontifex pope, the holy Ravi, and prince of peace. Much to his surprise, he was not the first to arrive, for there in the bosom of G_D, their scales formed from earthly struggles, there were dragons, and they were keepers, the sum of heavens fire. Welcome to heaven.
The scales go up, like in do re me, a psalmist croons in a minor key. And a shaggy head with no blood left to cast red, climbs a final steep through closed eyes, a dragons keep, cast ye heaven. The sheets of rain on earth through life’s pain, thought he a crippled man, made his living through a plan, and he cast his coin in war, robbed the rich to feed the poor. Raked his talons through the sky, took what change to just get by. And in the even, blackened tide, did not settle by what justice decides, was an outlaw, was a god, was the thought inside us all, and was a dragon. Welcome to heaven.
It was, when he died, danced the did, instead of why, made his sword into a fire, pierced the thought instead of did acquire. Thought the christ was just a child, why need saved when giving’s so worthwhile. He of flying iron and steel, of what he searched he learned to kill. Oh you dragon who conquers hills, when you lower to the valley, did you find a like of minds. And in the even, blackened tide, did not settle by what justice decides, was an outlaw, was a god, was the thought inside us all, and was a dragon. Welcome to heaven.
Here there be dragons a plenty see, those misfits that bother society, one has to wonder, why heaven ask them in. They move to torch those earthly walls, those best kept manners of dishonest men who hold wealth, hold it all. Such a surprise to not go down, to be a rebel a dragon not hell bound. He holds his wings to block the sun, the morning star says welcome on, and then he does see, a host of bestial family on the crystal sea. And in the even, blackened tide, did not settle by what justice decides, was an outlaw, was a god, was the thought inside us all, and was a dragon. Welcome to heaven. – 09.17.2015 – דָּנִיֵּאל
