Future of a Gnostic World

Light shining through stained glass windows Rainbows tearing light from worldly shadows From the windows of aeons With Valentinus and Seth as icons Banners of the sayings of Christ From the bright Gospel of Thomas unpriced A sun cross tearing day from night In the centre of the church bathed in light Above there is a mosaic vault Of Barbelo wearing gold without fault Above the vault is a salt pond Dripping down from Barbelo’s olive wand To the words “Michar, Micheaus” To a river for baptism for us Hymns fill the cathedral at night Hymns of Sophia’s cries for flowing light As morning begins, prayers are blown To the seed-bearing plants and trees alone To untangle the angels trapped Who cry for their darkness to be unwrapped After this, people meditate On themselves beyond the black, iron gate Or reading the poems of Blake On diamond roads in the shape of a snake Going to grand theatres for all Where souls have made two greats lights in the hall To see souls in costumes high priced Mirroring the death and life of bright Christ The life and death of great Mani The fall and redemption of bright Sophie The ascent of great Allogenes Where workers have made stars for the black screens Traveling, looking all around The ocean’s depths to see Saklas chained up Traveling, singing as they prayed Flying to the stars in steel birds they made Surpassing great Babel’s tower Remembering the power of Norea As they see the bird’s flames flowing That Norea burned Noah’s ark resting Dancing in everlasting rings Holding one another’s hands without strings Dancing around the sun of life Singing “Amen” without a care or strife Thinking of the bridal chamber Where mankind is reborn as a mirror Of the heavens above heaven Dancing round as a ring of eleven Mankind resting in the sunlight Though awake in the garden from the height I will not live to see this sight And it is a dream I wrote down in plight We are bricklayers without spite Of a Gnostic church that will stand upright If we all dream in mankind’s night Our dream will see the morning’s shining light
