The Mother and Her Child
John took all the signs of divinity
And beauty and added them together
In the mother’s description attired
In the radiance of the sun.
The moon was her pedestal, and
There were twelve stars for a crown.
The child born to her was destined
To rule the nations with a rod of iron.
He, the messiah, was caught up to
Heaven as a protective measure
And the woman fled to a place
Of protection in the wilderness.
Then there is the great, scarlet,
Flame colored dragon. His seven
Heads and the ten horns signifies
The mighty powers of the dragon.
The picture is man fallen in sin
But always reaching for higher life,
But evil frustrates his desire.
The culmination is on the Cross.
