Alegory

By Rise Gilbert

You surrendered at last...

To Me... to God...
(Lightning and thunder)
The Lord with omnipotent wisdom...
Gave you the power of archangel in charge... Of celestial music...
On His Terrestrial planet
(Lightening and thunder)
Mortal men do not comprehend...
That your music has the Sublime timber of the sacred
(Lightning and thunder)
Centuries...
Master spirits... Angels...
Truth...
Surrender... have given you
The power o f David, the strength of Moses.
 (Lightning and thunder)
Mortal men only comprehend
Instants of intoxication
(lightning and thunder)
Gentleness of the harp...
Caress of the cello, vibrating
Strings...
Incomprehensible terrors in presence
Of the pure... all powerful...
You surrendered at last... To Me… To God.
