'Stay your hand!,oh mighty Angel For wisdom falls on a dry land' A land, where mortals strut and strain against the winds of time.. Mere clay that stands errect and shakes his fists at the heavens,and curses as though diety was his debtor.. Yet stay your hand Trumpet Angel..hold back the the four winds of destruction! Man who will drink the full measure of his violence may yet repent.. He will slaughter..He will kill, and innocent blood his drink of desire.. Oh, that he turns his eyes towards trancendent rays of divine light.. Oh, that the that truth would burn through the blackness of the abyss.. The earth groans within itself, and the sun yearns for the morning star.. But look to the heavens oh man.. For there stands an Angel on the precipice of time with outstretched arm.. And with the voice of Eternity utters this warning.. 'Take heed ye inhabitants of the earth'' That for every falling star, and for every passing shadow shall be a strike of the clock, and a reminder that man who chases a foolish vanity shall once again..become dust, and all dust shall be gathered for judgement!
What saddens you and other kind people is "...that they (those who ridicule, the unbelievers) do not know the Truth, and I do. Oh, how hard it is to be the only one to know the Truth! But they will not understand this. No, they will not," writes the main character of F. Dostoyevsky's "The Dream of a Ridiculous Man." I hope the Truth contained in your poem and the picture you describe with Angel standing on the precipice and uttering warning of judgement will prove a sobering up message for many: should we believe, turn our eyes towards "transcendent ray of divine light" things may be much better for us. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us!
