(Epic) The Luciferic Cherub

by Moses Hochstetler (Age: 64)
copyright 06-29-2003


Age Rating: 10 +

*****Based on Isaiah 14 & Ezekiel 28*****

By the sea of glowing embers
Midst the realm of lights immortal,
Burning by the throne of Yahweh
(Great white shining throne of Yahweh)
Stood the Luciferic cherub
Cloaked in brilliant robes of rainbows,
Cloaked in hallowed words of wisdom
With his windless wings unfolded,
Spreading out and up and over;
Stood the Luciferic cherub
With a beatific brightness;
With a pious disposition
Making music, music, music:
Making live symphonic music
With a blend of flutes and timbrels,
With a blend of golden bell-pipes
And a million spirits singing;
Singing rapturistic songs
In harmonious perfection,
With the hallelujahs ringing
From the choir celabratus:
With the sounds of strings vibrating,
With the sounds of pompous drum-beats,
With the blare of blasting trumpets,
With the clang of cymbals clashing!
--And the melancholy lute--
For the Spirits, kindred spirits,
Myriad spirits filled with awe.

By the sea of glowing embers
Midst the realm of lights immortal
Stood the Luciferic cherub
Cloaked in brilliant shining brightness,
Cloaked in beatific brightness
With the stars beneath his feet;
Stood the Luciferic cherub
With a growing disenchantment
With a gnawing discontentment
Filled with envy, irksome envy,
Filled with overwhelming pride,
Filled with dark and dismal motives
Overshadowing his thinking,
Until all of him was bitter
And his bitterness turned sweet,
Until light became as darkness
And his darkness turned to light;
Till his music turned macabre
And his dancing came from hell,
And a host of spirits followed
With their dancing, dancing, dancing,
With a devilish delight,
And the host became demented,
And the host invaded Yahweh;
Fought the great majestic Yahweh,
(Who omnipotently reigneth)
Fought with Yahweh on His white throne;
His magnificently bright throne,
And the everliving Spirit,
And the sea of living spirits
Spewed the darkness out forever;
Spewed it out as something bitter
From the realm of lights immortal,
From before the throne of Yahweh
And the darkness was no more.

The intensity of this laudatory write is astounding.This achieved a deeper sense of belief towards God than anything that I have ever read.You are an amazing writer that sets down an ambrosial pen to flow like rivers of thought from the halidom.It was truly a pleasure to have come across your poetic genius.

Wow Moses. I'm loving your work. This is a very good write. The poem interprets it well. Which is good, being as I find the Bible a bit tiresome, this makes it interesting and easier to understand. Kepp it up. I like.
