The Flood

Temple broken and floor fell in, leaked roof
Hinges groaning for a dark crumbling door
Enoch alone in sinners brazen bore

Faith and spirit still for portrait and proof
Loud Noah sparked nothing in the deaf conscience
Offering no comprehension to men
Occlusion of sun, terror clouds unfold
Deluge flash from sky and earth's deep den, floods rolled.
