Pantokrator

In the beginning was the Word

That broke the absolute silence

And launched the prehistoric world,

And dealt with absolute darkness:

There flashed the very first Light,

Too bright for the darkness to stand.

Ideas began to alight,

Alpha and omega, A and Z.

The Lord could’ve said, «Ni Hao!»

And begun to teach the Tao,

Let the followers win the round

Against those who whisper, «Wow!»

He came to wash off solitude

In the waters of Holy River,

Give revelations in multitude,

Prophesy the defeat of Evil.

All the earthly delights and highness

Were dismissed as being of the earth,

No palm reading appears mindless

If the palm is nailed to the cross.

In spite of the Holy Fire,

In spite of the annual Easter,

So many are getting inspired

By the stubborn atheism.

Little atheistic children

Are allergic to the face of Lord,

While His allergic sneezing

Can bring an end to the world.

When non-believers go down

With a scream, as portrayed by Munch,

Those who tasted the bread and wine

Will hold on to the Holy Book.

Whether churched or laic,

When in desperation,

You’ll find yourself praying

For the last salvation.

And He will soar up dove-like,

He will bring to reason,

And you’ll see a bright light

From your dark mind’s prison.
