Alpha and Omega by Jennifer Richards
May 9th, 2008 by Editor
Scintillating starlight
wishing that I might
Graceful as the brush strokes
Of prayer in that painting
Yearning for protection
God’s omniscient luminous presence
A paradise lost
“The ease you find to slumber here,
As in the vales of heaven…” *
The thick velvet curtain closes
The alpha and omega falling
Rebellious angels and burning wings
Icarus, my darling, the great declination
The close of an era
An apocalypse in such wide eyes
Of terror, compassion, sorrow
Wishful eyes
That I might comprehend
What dreams may come.
*Shakespeare’s Hamlet
