666 again

the beast rises in influence and number

up from the depths of the sea

out of many one



the subconscious a great deep

not like that sea of glass

and the heavenly influence


but that sea of fleshly effort

and unholy imaginations

where waves toss and churn

foaming up humanity's shame



the number- the latent power of the soul

desire on the levels three

six hundred and threescore and six

until the abomination takes place

and self ascends to the throne

the thankful sacrifice ceases



then:

reaching

grasping

for paradise lost



absent- the number that in symbiosis

would bring peace and fulfillment

as from the Prince of heaven



without the celestial marriage of two---

numbers merge not in the temple

and that heart of the redeemed

bears no manifestation

of that divine geometric celestial influence

the necessary balancer



but violence

emerges with a beastly roar

where heaven and earth are not merged

in blissful harmony



man alone

impotent to build or solve

the perplexities of existence

searching for mate and numbers unknown

while perplexed eyes behold

as it were a great mountain

cast in the way

barring any natural way or resolution



until the judgment is pronounced once again

and rains down

not this time in water

but fire.
