The Testimony of Wrath


As the wind words began to propose judgements soon to come upon the earth, Enoch also heard another voice coming from the bowels beneath him--a pained and weary lamentation. Just so, Joseph intuited that this voice would become a dissonant chorus as soon as his own words faded away. Then were we to hear the voices of thunder, lightening, tempest, quake and strange tide. These we are told constitute The Testimony of Wrath.


The Testimony of Wrath
________A Vision of Enoch, Seventh from Adam_______

“Deep is calling to deep
by the roar of your cataracts,
all your waves and breakers
wash over me.”
Psalm 42:7


There are intrigues that surge from the wounds of the sea,
hauntings that vie for the soul.
There are movements that wash
from the center of Sidhe*—dark that is part of the whole.

There are voices entombed in inanimate things:
Virbrato, Tremor and Fire
There are spirits aloft
on God’s breath as it flings

chants from the Core of the Pyre.
* An old Irish word pronounced Shee or the world of nature spirits.
