-- The Perfume of Revelation --

By John Herlihy

Revelation as silence waiting to be sound,

Of divine origins, reverberating profound.

From a vast celestial sea, knowledge sent,

Read and recited to know what it meant.

Letters as butterflies that sit on the page,

Letters as fireflies with wisdom of a sage.

Words as flower buds radiating perfume,

Words as flowers in the fulness of bloom.

Harmonies stream forth as divine rhythms,

Shedding light into hearts thru clear prisms.

An exotic perfume confirms what I guessed,

Read sacred scripture, know one is blessed.

Revelation on everything we need to know,

Worlds laid bare in what the words bestow.

Invisible truths shown as beauty made visible,

Inaudible mysteries heard as visions audible.

Ah the whispered voices of angels that flourish,

Singing sweet harmonies our souls to nourish.

Tranquility in a promise we should never risk,

Such heavenly perfume as a taste of pure bliss.
