The War

An army of white horses

ride on the horizon.

Like a ribbon of

cloud and flame,

consuming the world

in smoldering mouths.

Yahweh.

Their voices

drown the lands

with exaltation

and every knee

is knelt and waiting.

Yahweh.

Sunken in the ashes

of life built by man

the world waits

aside the great beast

jaws tight against

his enflamed reigns,

roaring with tremulous fury.

Yahweh.

Today the birds will feast

under the hoofs of

the Great Commander,

on the flesh left behind.

Today the light will

come into the shadow.

Today, the dark

will be obliterated.

Yahweh.
