Blaze star-revelations
Renowning the Deity Only—not lonely
But Three.
Awaker, Matchmaker—oh! high gamble-taker
Soil grinning, Love spinning
Earth’s first radiant son
Deceiver exotic
Fabrication necrotic
Chaste mind undiscerning, doubt churning, cheap spurning
Decree.
Trust weaking, air creaking—oh! planet-bones shrieking
Lie stenching, foul wrenching
Fair innocence flown
Pure Lamb-bought libation
Paves ancient foundation
Fierce wounding in Zion, gored heavenly Scion—stout Lion
Who bleeds.
Disguising, surprising —oh! Conqueror rising
Advancing, romancing
Beyond the torn Veil
Light's children borning
Word’s image adorning
Bright spirits trill tidings, confiding, unhiding
Love’s deed.
Crime quivers, guilt shivers—oh! baptismal rivers
De-worming, re-sperming
Confirming faith’s sons
Martyr blood screeching
Stars plunging, beseeching
Rage overboiling, snake coiling, death spoiling
The freed.
Seeking, venge-wreaking—oh! skywonders streaking
Saints wailing, prevailing
Cry due justice down
Trumpet blast shatters
Ripe sin-measure splatters
Thunderous dirging, flames purging, woes urging
One plea.
Suspending, upending all blatant pretending
Word warring, Judge roaring
Avowing His right:
- “With pearl-spangled meanings
Clear, prophet-lipped keenings
Announced intervenings
I’ve groaned to produce
Testimonies abounding
Transcendent, resounding
Proud reason confounding—
There remains no excuse.”
************************************
“The heavens declare the glory of God;
And the firmament shows His handiwork.
Day unto day utters speech,
And night unto night reveals knowledge.
There is no speech nor language
Where their voice is not heard;
Their line has gone out through all the earth,
And their words to the end of the world.”
--Psalm 19:1-4 (NKJV)

This is phenomenal. Your word choices are...perfect, creative, compelling, and otherwise PHENOMENAL. Certainly a stand-alone work as I've never read anything like it EVER.
Great job. I can hear the native American flute playing in the background. No kidding.
;-D
I had to read it through three times ... still so much more I could get with time and attention ... quite amazing.
