Isaiah 6:2

Isaiah 6:2 is the coolest verse of the Bible I've read so far. It is the part when Isaiah sees the angels, only they didn't look like our traditional interpretation of angels:

"Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly."

The imagery here was so incredible to me, that it inspired a short poem. Keep in mind, this is a very rough draft, so I can't be certain yet whether it's great literary art or a random smattering of brain-vomit. But I suppose you can judge for yourself.

Isaiah 6:2

I walked along black pavement
under the stars;
there is no moon.
Oh...you're back so soon?
From your mission to Mars
your proud achievement.

You approach me,
Hands covering your face,
shoes covering your feet
waiting, waiting ever to meet
the terms of your love's disgrace
pledging your protection eternally.

You told me once it was a fact
you would always sit behind my shoulder
but sometimes I look and I can't find you.
And when I turn back around I see the proof.
You wipe a tear from my cheek, your hands so much colder
than the cashmere fog settling onto your back.

And you fly away to space
but you're still standing at my side.

Peace is in your face,
but war in your eyes.

And light in your wings.

So, it needs a little bit of work, but it's a start. Hope you liked it. I'll leave you with a few artist's interpretations of Isaiah 6:2:

I couldn't find the name of the artist who did the first painting. The second one is by Viktor Vasnetsov. The third one came from Godwin's Cabalistic Encyclopedia, circa 13th century.
