I stood upon the shore of the ocean
as thunder roared and lightning flashed.
I saw worlds and galaxies plummet into the
foaming waves to be extinquished forever.
The waters rose up and covered all the cities of the world,
The Angel of the Deep arose with a face of flame
and strode across the lands of the Earth,
smiting the mountains with his flail
and hewing the forests with his sword.
Fire went before him and fire followed after him
and a great scalding vapour arose
from the meeting of the flames and the sea
and all the remaining stars were obscured.
The moon itself fell into the ocean,
destroying most of what was left of life on the planet.
The sun turned a dull red and then became a small black star
that collapsed upon itself and vanished.
Men and women were as living torchs of flesh
- running, screaming, weeping, burning.
I saw Your face etched upon the Heavens
before I turned my back and fled in terror
from Your pure and raging Beauty.
