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
