A Poem - Lion (2018)

As bold as the godly,
The Proverb sayeth,
Noble, royal
And strong.
Unparalleled
In stateliness,
The Revelator's
Song.

Sung out
The stony centuries,
The Root of David
Roars,
The Beast hath
Struck
Upon the heel;
The Beast can strike
No more.

Conquering Lion
Of the Tribe of Judah,
Open the
Seventh Seal.
To the Lion that is
The Lamb that was slaughtered,
All of Heaven
Kneels.
