"Rev Four, Foot To Floor" and "Meta Taute"

This theme goes by two names, "Come Up Here" and "Meta Taute"(which means 'after this', in the original Greek, the first two words of Revelation Chapter Four, A favorite that I can spend hours lost in meditation on.). Since most people scratch their heads when I say "Meta Taute", I commonly refer to this as "Come Up Here".


Following this is a companion poem entitled "Rev Four, Foot To Floor".

Rev four, foot to floor

Rev four -

foot to floor

I feel the pull

of the open door.

Rev four -

foot to floor

Trump voice speaks

"Come up and soar"

Foot to floor

right through the door

The pull, the yank

gripped through my tank.

Rev four -

foot to floor

A burning, churning

within my core.

Rev four -

A thundering rumbling

Symphony sounding

Now I'm crumbling.

Dive to floor

break into sweat

All because

His Presence met.

Rev four -

light beyond burning

Holy One sparks up

my heart's yearning.

Stay on floor -

in saline puddle

The glory realm is

not so subtle.

Rev four -

back to my feet.

Grace to stand

and not retreat.

Rev four -

watch to see

Twenty four crowns

On elderly.

Rev four -

all bowed down

Arms extended

offering crown.

Count'em four

blazing creatures.

Eyes and wings

as primary features.

Rev four -

What are they

thinking?

Eyes on me

without a blinking.

Waves of praise

in call and response

He fills all desires

and all wants.

Rev four

onto the next

to watch a lamb

crack open a text

Rev five -

I'm still alive.
