Yet [*/+/^] : 27.225 MHz, Some Final Measures; Words Inspired By Balaam's, Preserved Among The Starwatchers

[after Numbers 24:17]


Star-constellated, his sign,will rise ahead of the sun

in long-awaited proclamation that God's Holy One

has come forth to destroy death---by which we are all undone.

He will enter those haunted caverns, but not so long gone,

and will rise from them, once and for all, ahead of the dawn.


Starward
