The Cosmic Seraph

And then she came The Angel of the seven skies, Through the eyes of blue She summoned the tales of truth and lies. What you seek, she asked Wealth or wisdom? Comradeship of the Cosmic, Or the throne of the dark kingdom? Time stood still… In the momentous of the Sun, Earth and Moon Commenced, thus, the order of Earth, Wind, Fire and Water And not a moment too soon. The secret lies within you, she said The kingdom of Heaven and Hell, Choose wisely, she warned And life will be for yours to tell. At the mountain top, lies the temple of the flesh Right beneath the sacred of the holy, Realize, she enlightened, realize, and only then The heavens will open up soul-wholly. Believe, she prophesized, And you’ll master the water that no one sees through, From the bondage of mist and dust Will rise the empire of the one very true. Assemble your army on every front Resurrect the magic immortal, Govern your realm, she cherished, steadfast and steady And you’ll journey through the divine portal. And then I closed my eyes As the warmth of her light serene embraced me, Always and forever and I’ll remember….. From the tower of sublime, my cosmic will set me free. (C) Obaidur Rahman.
