Messenger of Light

From his mouth bright ribbons flashed
The thunder rolled, the lightning crashed
A shot rang out and split the night
A singing sound, cacophany,A THOUSAND bELLS, A SYMPHONY
Fresh and sharp and clean and clear
It fell on every living ear
And some were moved and some were not
The truth was COLD or PIPING HOT
No lukewarm message rent the air
To some great joy , to some despair
And time stands still on that wondrous day 
when the messenger gives the TRUTH away
