Last Storm Prophesy

Last Storm Prophesy


First it was a whispered air
more light
than stir a leaf.

Then it was a wafting sigh
mist floating on a pool of grief.

Multiplied into a breeze
filled a fleeing sail.

Then the august ship of state
foundered in a gale

and storms of sorrow
swept the world
someone to a cross was nailed
flags of darkness were unfurled
the lord of every lie was hailed
quislings chained
rebels jailed

but shall return the cross-hung one
with the keys to death and hell
cast the flag of darkness down
strip the lie from willing bone

and take His rightful throne.


by C. Van Gorkom
