Tertio Millennio Adveniente Johannes


I am here to tell a secret.
I am here to ring a bell.
I am here to sound an
early trumpet.
I am here to break the purpled
skies with the song of the
meadowlark.
I am here to break the news.
I am here to break dis-ease, to
paint-on wings and nimbuses of
gold.
I am here to chant-a-loud with the
rising sun and laugh at the noon-
day devil.
I am here to hurl the moon and
scatter stars like fireworks.
"Now," says the, One who sits on the
throne of rainbows before the sea
of glass,
"You may look behind you
without shame."
"Now," says the One who is
Faithful and True, Beginning
and End,
"You nay rest from your pain, you
may stop your mourning."
"Now," says the One who is Ruah-
Elohim, who breathed love
into the waters of chaos, who rushed
on the holy ones in
the times ahead of Time, "You may
open the heart-doors
without fear, the Mother,
Blessed Joseph, and the
Holy Child are here."
