"The Words of God"

Ghostly Figures sweep across the painting;

White, pale, arms outreached, hands dripping with black.

Transmission Interrupted.

Masked in a scream they dance around each other, faces blending, mixing ...

A swirling cloud of fog encircles them in its encompassing arms;

The sound of wailings pierces the sky;

The figures fall to their knees, their faces molded to each other.

Transmission Interrupted.

There was something we should have heard;
There was something we should have known.

They are fading now,

A thought not become, an understanding not complete;
Dripping black, their hands on the ground, they moan their truth;
Alone, yet one with them ... endlessly floating through a grey abyss.
Why were they not told to follow the one?
.... they were not told.

Transmission Interrupted.
