The Reckoning


Feel its fury

hear it roar

Avenging Angel

 vengeance born

 

Apostatic

 idols vain

Bear the sentence

its will proclaims

 

Chants of guilt 

awaken sinners

From their dark

infected dreams

 

O’er the mountains

to the ocean

Heaven’s rage

—its verdict screams

 

(Dreamsleep: June, 2023)
