Trampling Death With Bliss
They both ate dates from the tree of gnosis
Froze the whirling wheels in place by their might
Crushed the cherubim’s heads with bliss
White mice who put cat and eagle in fright
White lambs who put man and cherub to flight
They felt the crushed dates flowing like a gust
Tasting the full moon’s light without disgust
Quenching the seraphim’s sword with their breath
Turning his flaming coal to dust
Trampling on his six wings of sin and death
Inspired by the words "For when they ate of the tree of knowledge, they trampled the Cherubim and the Seraphim with the flaming sword" from the ancient writing "Melchizedek" from the The Nag Hammadi Library
